"The thing all writers do best is find ways to avoid writing" -Alan Dean Foster
I was pretty surprised with this score. While I don't love it because it can't top the classics like Apollo 11 and the RMS Titanic, it's not as low as The Ascent of Everest or Project Excelsior. After coming off of the high of the beautiful magic that is Corduroy Road, it would have taken another Omaha Beach to top that one.
But this month's score is still solid and amazing to listen to, as always.
1. 1977
Stylistic and full of beat, this song starts off the score strong with the techno sounds of space, and the influences of the 70's.

Mysterious and deep, this track brings in the instrument side with strings, adding to the raw beauty that is Earth.

Here's how it compares with the Adam Young Scores Discography:
1. Omaha Beach, June - 20/10
2. RMS Titanic, March - 15/10
3. Apollo 11, February - 11/10
4. Corduroy Road, September - 10/10
4. Corduroy Road, September - 10/10
5. Miracle in the Andes, July - 9.5/10
6. The Spirit of St. Louis, April - 9/10
7. Voyager 1, October - 8/10
8. The Ascent of Everest, May - 7/10
9. Project Excelsior, August - 6.5/10
Overall, this is a solid addition to the Adam Young Discography. While it's not bad by any means, the music is beautiful and enjoyable, but doesn't bring too much newness to the table. Exotic and plunging the listener into deep space, this score is a solid 8/10.
