The dualism displayed on this album is impressive. It has the ability to root you firmly into the present moment while simultaneously taking your soul on a journey through the ether. This one is solely an instrumental album with beats that melodically curve and wind and intertwine themselves into your psyche. Interestingly, the inspiration behind this album came from a little girl from Moscow who wanted to go to the moon. The good people at Project: Mooncircle took on the challenge and made her dream come true. Not necessarily in a realistic sense but definitely in the fantasy world of music. For me the experience of this album is reminiscent of ‘The Wizard of Oz’. It starts off kind of scary, you get hella lost, you feel far away, you meet some dope characters, you get kinda lonely, you learn some lessons and you overcome some things. Then when all is said and done you return home, safe and sound, and definitely a better person than when you first set out on your journey. If you have ever listened to a Project: Mooncircle release before then you are well aware of their inclinations towards artistry and genre expansion. This is an offering that highlights many producers on the PM roster. Do your self a favor and dose up on some inspired hip hop beats. You will be a better person for it and become an honorary astronaut.
