The
third reissue of an earlier album, which has been expanded in the new
version with an additional disc with previously unpublished material.
This album was first released in 1999.
"What Do You Suppose? (The Alien Question)" was something different compared to other Rapoon releases because it was primarily based on the word.
Canvas of this project are the theories
related to aliens and their presence on the planet made by William
Cooper.
Music is therefore subordinate to the text, it is much more
withdrawn than on other Rapoon releases, but it does not make it
one-dimensional.
On the contrary, by moving the centre of gravity to the
verbal layer, Robin Storey redefined his compositional language.
The bonus disc called "Project Blue Book" is a new album mixed in the
current year, which uses the original tracks to the "What Do You
Suppose? (The Alien Question)," but this time it is devoided of the
narrative.
The result is not even an alternate version of the original,
but a completely different album, where accents are distributed
differently.
More ethnic trips here, but it will also include pieces for
lovers of shimmering ambient.
The cover was designed by Maciej Mehring based on Robin
Storey's paintings.
