This music is a tribute to Yuri Gagarin. The first man in space. Mark De Wit is a Belgian synthesist, who makes spacethemed ambient since the mid-eighties, first as a duo under the Purfose moniker with Ruud Rondu, but since the mid-nineties solo as RHEA. RHEA is cosmic, with no compromises. And electronic. RHEA is mysterious, often dark and subtle. It is definitely no easy background music. It demands concentration from the listener, and then certainly leads to a mental trip, to relaxation or even meditation. All sounds are made analogue. Of course modern digital technologies are used, but always with that 'old organic analogue sound'. For his 5th album, the first for Wool-E Discs/Belgian NeuMusik, Mark De Wit took his inspiration from the voyage of Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. A voyage that took 108 minutes. 108 minutes that changed the world. This is Belgian NeuMusik Chapter 11 Limited to 300 copies. Comes in a 4 panel digisleeve
