There came a time in the history of mankind on planet Earth, when all could hear the music of the spheres. This sound was the song of the universe itself. As mankind explored the mysteries of music, His evolution "Out of Darkness" accelerated.
It came to pass. A musical vibration radiating from a small object was discovered to be an ancient beacon, a legacy of Mars.
Mars, the red planet, is a jewel dancing in space. A desert world beckoning mankind to come. Artists, poets and musicians began to conjecture possibilities about the ancient Martian culture. Mars became a new inspiration igniting man's desire to know himself. For it was thought, to know Mars, would be to know from whence he came.
Track 4 "The Journey"
A great space ship was assembled. The best minds on planet Earth came together to participate in this historic endeavor. The journey would take only a few days as a new hypersonic wave-flow propulsion system would convert the power of the sun and propel the ship toward Mars... On an ever changing wave of sound.
We are awed by the unfolding beauty of our first Martian Sunrise. A new music begins to play...
Our spaceship begins to scan the surface of Mars revealing a world very different than what we expected. Alien yet strangely familiar. Then we make first contact.
We discover a world and an ancient culture that had been hidden from the eyes of our robots and probes. The truth of Mars is now revealed as our ship hovers above the indescribable beauty of living harmonic vibrations. A life form that until now was beyond our ken of possibility.
From the center of its collective soul, a single voice sings to us. So haunting, so beautiful, a profound innocence touches us in a place of pure feeling, somewhere beyond the comprehension and limitations of our minds.
Our journey homeward begins as we resonate with harmonies and expectations of untold possibilities. We eagerly anticipate returning to Mars to more fully explore the "Martian Wonders" we now know are waiting for us.
