There's a hidden tune on track 7 at index 23:36. It's called "Saturnesque".

The music on this album was composed for these planetarium show soundtracks and projects:

Track 1: "Gateway To Infinity" for the McDonnell Star Theater, St. Louis Science Center.
Track 3: "Perceptions" for the Taylor Planetarium, Museum of the Rockies.
Track 5: "Special Effects Disc 4" for Sky-Skan, Inc.
Track 2, 6: "Light Years From Andromeda"
Track 4: "The Voyager Encounters"
Track 7: "MarsQuest" for Loch Ness Productions.

You want space music (as well as Planetarium music)? Besides Jonn Serrie's "Planetary Chronicles," Geodesium would be a top choice. I notice that not many places (besides amazon.com) would have them. If many other stores would carry Jonn Serrie's albums, why not Geodesium???

You want to know how Geodesium's music is like? Give "Stellar Collections" a listen. Unlike Jonn Serrie, Mark C. Peterson (the Geodesium guy) is more on the upbeat side (not that there's anything wrong with Serrie's relaxing music). Some people find his music kinda corny, which would suggest that it MIGHT NOT be for everyone. Nice background music for watching the heavens. The best way to listen to this album is through a stereo system with a dynamic range. For instance, you would feel the low sounds on "The Distant Worlds Collection" (i.e., about 3 minutes into track 5). Another part of that track sounds like "Sudden Revelations" from Tangerine Dreams "Canyon Dreams." The whole CD itself is like a journey through the cosmos.

Whoever would listen to this CD take note of this: there's a hidden song starting on Track 7, index 25:36. I was told that it's called "Saturnesque."

If you like it, then you may want his other albums. They're compilations of music from various planetarium shows. There are slightly different versions of "On Orbit" and "Rhapsody On A Red Planet" from "Fourth Universe." You may find it worth while to get "Anasazi" (listen to the samples of this one before you decide). That has "Chetro Ketl," a familiar tune you may find on a couple of parts of "Stellar Collections," sotra like a variation on it, if you will.

By the way, since this is about Planetarium music, I thought I might as well mention Kevin Barheny's "Galaxies." That's worth checking out.
