Levinson, Paul
Welcome Up (songs Of Space And Time)
'Welcome Up: Songs Of Space And Time' is a collection of eight songs that beam you up into a creative galaxy where you take on the persona of an astronaut exploring sonic spaces that at times are reminiscent of The Beach Boys on tracks like 'Welcome Up' and 'Tau Ceti,' and at other times can feel like the MC5 being shot out of a ray gun on tracks like 'Samantha.' Some of the songs were directly inspired by Paul's novels. 'Alpha Centauri' was written at the same time as 'Borrowed Tides' (2000), which is about the first starship to Alpha Centauri. 'If I Traveled To The Past' explores the paradoxes of time travel which Paul has taken up in many of his stories and novels, especially 'The Plot To Save Socrates' (2006). The difficulty of love across alternate realities in 'Samantha' is the theme of many of Paul's short stories, including 'The Other Car' (2015). Paul's stories and novels become more complete with his songs and vice versa. Limited to 100 copies only!
