D. ROTHON – MEMORIES OF EARTH
2021-06-07In the years since his 2018 release Nightscapes, D Rothon has been a pedal steel player for hire on some of the strangest singer-songwriter albums of recent times — including discs by the likes of Johanna Warren and Liela Moss. But when D Rothon is on his own time, he thinks about space. Memories of Earth was initially inspired by a childhood fascination with the moon landings and 2001: A Space Odyssey, and his vaulting, star-bound vision on the album is one of wide-lens, cinema-scope space music, daubed with hits of kosmische synths and scorching prog impasses.
