Moonkeeper

Divine Comedy bassist Simon Little turns electronic musician for
‘Moonkeeper’ an epic new album under his Monochrome Echo alias

Spaced-out sounds and skyscraping synth lines abound on ‘Moonkeeper’, the
interstellar new album from Divine Comedy bass player Simon Little, recording
here as Monochrome Echo. The music is inspired by a love of classic science
fiction novels and the movie scores of Tangerine Dream, Vangelis and John
Carpenter.

Available on two ‘flavours’ of cassette shell via the label Spun Out Of Control –
choose from Space Dust or Pitch Black Eclipse – the latter mirrors the cover
artwork by Eric Adrian Lee, which in a fitting fashion features concentric solar
eclipses.

Monochrome Echo on ‘Moonkeeper’:

“I love repetitive percussion and bass tracks underpinning sometimes quite
heroic sounding themes. Theme-wise, I had the golden age of sci-fi in mind. A lot
of these stories revolve around man’s early exploration and expansion into the
solar system and first encounters with alien life. I decided to base the story
around a network of outposts orbiting the various Jovian moons, one of which
comes into contact with a malevolent being calling himself the Moonkeeper.
Europa Outpost then loses contact with the other stations, with a rescue mission
launched… this album serves as soundtrack to that dramatic series of events.”
