I appreciated this space music with many various climates and some beautiful melodies. This is great to have proposed two versions (english and spanish) of the spoken tale. The music speaks by itself, for french ears Great sounds and inspiration here !

Jaime: Siempre creativo, siempre innovador, siempre compartiendo los dones que le fueron concedidos. Caminando siempre por nuevos caminos, para hacer de su musica un oasis en el tiempo y es espacion de sus coterraneos. Disfrutemos de su musica y su inspiracion y guardemos en el alma y corazon sus mensajes de suma, resta, multiplicacion y division que hace con la escala musical. De Mexico con amor... Eva maria

merci de m'avoir fait découvert cet album, j'ais appréciés tout de suite, bravo pour ce moment de découverte et continuez...

Great electronic music. Full of space, full of imagination. Congratulation !

Zugegeben, bei manchen Empfehlungen bin ich aus gutem Grund erst ein mal skeptisch. Dieses Album habe ich zum anhören angeklickt und ... habe es laufen lassen. Ein gutes Zeichen. Man könnte fies sein und behaupten, es ist eine prima Hintergrund-Berieselungsmusik. Sie ist aber mehr! Sie ist einfach angenehm. Einerseits entspannend und anderseits aber auch interessant. Es passiert immer mal wieder etwas neues, neue Sounds, neue Melodien. Mal ein echtes Solo wie in "here by dragons". Ich nenne solche Musik "spacemusic". Das passt hier natürlich ganz besonders, denn das Album heisst the astronaut. So schwebt man mit dem Astronaut durchs das All voller Klänge und Sphären und glaubt an so mancher Stelle, Jean Michel Jarre vorbeischweben zu sehen. Zu hören, meine ich.

Bin für spacemusik immer zu haben :D Danke schön

Really really nice. Kind of space trance, with a strong hint of Jean-Michel Jarre. Not normally my thing, but it is very well done. I ended up listening to the whole thing, and then favorited it. Artist's Spanish accent throws a nice twist to the space opera story. Very polished and enjoyable.

Great start, nice and bold, that develops into an electronic awakening. Bright, optimistic synthetics. The Mission stays positive, with appropriate voice sample. Even Hibernation maintains the sense that all is well, some sort of reasonable sleep in space while machinery and technology take over the mundanity of travelling light years in distance. The Incident suggests that something goes wrong, First Born wakes up in the wrong place, even to the extent of losing a travelling companion. Then, Here Be Dragons, implies a place of unexpected arrival. Even still the optimistic electronics continue, with some fairly wild electric guitar sounds that develop changes in the sense of the track. Nice work. Lost is literally meaning, from the words, lost in space. Not at destination and the technology seems to be malfunctioning, light years away from point of intended arrival being The Trifid Nebula, a place of new stars collectively spawning in Sagittarius (appropriate to me and my birthsign, coincidentally). A place known as a stellar nursery. The Funeral is as about as negative as it gets, the astronaut stuck in uncharted space, and a death seems to have occurred and the body becoming part of the nebula itself, being a comfort to the survivor. Suitably touching towards the end of the track. Then, it seems there still remains A Chance, optimism within optimistic music, seems to be about travelling through a wormhole to get a short-cut route to the original destination point (being the nebula aforementioned). A more serious intonation is evidently referring to this slim chance of mission recovery. The Good News is that the last ditch attempt at recovery brings the astronaut to the Fomalhaut Star, named after a demon and surrounded by red gases as interpreted by light transmission and reception by the human eye. Different constellation, but what the hell, it's somewhere that can be navigated by. Gazing At Wonders brings back the positivity. I think it's the nearest star with associated planets, albeit uninhabitable but nonetheless planets. Then we start to generalise conceptually with, Through The Solar System. The original mission seeming to make the most of the incident of going off course. Still positive in the face of cosmic adversity. Orbiting brings this astronaut into closer contact with a point of nearing touchdown, even if it is not with the original mission plan in mind. By a strange coincidence it seems the planet in mind has a sustainable atmosphere, consisting of nitrogen and oxygen. Therefore, this leads to The Descent to a planet in the mouth of a stellar whale. Wouldn't it be too coincidental if 'First Born's' name was Jonah!) The Last Transmission belies the discovery of another race of beings, apparently reverent towards First Born. Then, so to The Astronaut (Finale). Will this new race benefit from First Born's knowledge of terrestrial history, will they learn from his knowledge of our mistakes. Nice thought, but if this new race are anything like us, I reserve judgement and remain doubtful, even though the overall essence of the album is generally positive. It's too neat and tidy to be believable beyond being the script of some utopian film. Nice electronics, with a complete conceptual background.

The Astronaut is 18 tracks that tell an absorbing and wondrous story of First Born as he travels through space on a mission to locate the source of radio signals indicative of intelligent life emanating from a certain planet in the cosmos. It is a well orchestrated new age opera incredible in scope with an astonishing ending. The transmissions of First Born to Father are absorbing and compelling. Jaime Heras talent is evident in The Astronaut having created such a cohesive and captivating work. This is an incredible New Age composition that I would highly recommend you download.
