"Cosmic Race" LP by Scanner

Appears on a limited picture Vinyl

The time has come for a new Scanner album after almost a decade. As the previous discography almost necessitates, 'The Cosmic Race' has become a concept album: Survival on Earth has become increasingly difficult, natural disasters are increasing, and military conflicts have reached their peak, with large parts of the continents being nuclear-contaminated. Life is concentrated in a few big cities, and the tightness and heat within them have become unbearable. The Scanner (a mix of human and android) retrieves a portion of the people to take them to a habitable planet named Terrion in another galaxy. The long journey ends successfully. However, in the new world, people must defend themselves against aliens and invaders from other civilized planets and start over again. They want to take advantage of their second chance and do better than on Earth. However, since there are also doubters and renegades among them who resist the new community, the Scanner has developed a system that can identify these renegades during their night-time dream phases. They find themselves in a Twilight Zone. Eventually, they are tied to towering totem poles in a trance state where dreams and reality fight against each other until they are cleansed.
