Summary

A unique full-length publication about space rock and not only in which the material is presented with the futuristic interpretation of the musicality of the astronomical universe. According to the author’s idea, the phenomenon of cosmophony is interpreted in the context of hypothetical permissibility to hear rock sounds in alternative conditions of eventual ‘vinyl life’ on Titan – the satellite of Saturn and the cult regional club of rock music lovers on vinyl of the 1980s.

When reconstructing the chronological picture in a new interpretation, repeti-tions are avoided and lengthy descriptions of well-known information are minimi-zed, and key epi-sodes of the narrative are connected by lines of thought through the prism of our life’s history, sometimes with digressions to recollections, assessment of the current situation and forecasts about the future. In addition, readers will get acquainted with the achievements in the field of technologies for the creation of phonograph records and restoration of sound recordings, protection against fakes, storage of phonograms, collectible rarities and the latest space rock albums, as well as other issues combined into a single concept.

An important role in the opening of this page under the magic number ‘2112’ of the science of rock music (rock studies) is played by stories and wishes, specially written by the legendary musicians Jimmy Goings, Tony Smith, John Sloman, Erol Sora, Russ Bal-lard, Stefan Berggren, Joel Hoekstra, Nenad Pejovi?, Roland Pierrehumbert and Todd Sucherman's recommendation plus Ken Hensley’s autograph!
