Spacecapers!

All,
I know, I know. It's been a while. I've been doing some housekeeping and have fixed all of our media downloads. For your convenience, I'm including all of our downloadable music here in this post. Also, we're going to go ahead and make our second, arguably most popular, record Spacecapers available for download! We were hoping for a remaster on it, but that hasn't come together yet. So, enjoy! Have a lovely Fall where ever in space you may be. (Updated links 10/24/2019)

poem from "Spacecaper Credits" by Jon Thwaits

Superhuman Jonathan Stone
smart as a library with titanium bones
once built a rocket to fly off the face
of the earth, getting small as it soars into space
so he called Captain Argon and Professor Percussion
and they sat down one night to have food and discussion
they went long in the night and the details specific
should we launch from midland or over the Pacific?
should we bring laser blasters if Martians invade?
or will our Spacecapers lead us safely away
when calculations were done they all went to their beds
and dreamed of a world undiscovered just yet
of the wonderful things they could find, all unknowing 
just what it may be, that's the purpose in going
on the day of the launch it was cloudy and cold...
but to these brave space travelers it had all gotten old
so they strapped themselves in and laced up their shoes
they were destined, determined, to find something new.
the boosters were boosting in a booster like way
and the tug of the atmosphere beckoned to stay
but the heroes broke loose, one detail forgot:
no landing devices, so now in space they're lost.
