Name: Xerian Part 1 - Journey
Duration: P00H07M08S
Description: This was the first track laid down for the album, although I'd started writing parts of Parts 2 and 3 already. The OB-6 intro worked well and I decided that each track in the series should start that way. It also makes very heavy use of the Triton, especially for the space flight sound effects. I have to wonder how this would have turned out if I'd actually succeeded in selling it.

lyrics

Once on a world with a famine blight
Robot serfs were built to set the world to right
As their reward they were turned loose and set free

Xerian, he was one of these - he could fly a ship or fell a tree with ease
He roamed the stars living life as it should be

Sector 3 was a routine trip for a Mk.14 transstellar ship
The only crew on board was Xerian

But as he homed in on his goal, hyperspace was rent by a cosmic hole
He had no time to adjust his course or run

As his ship passed through the rift, all the systems crashed leaving him adrift
Above a world where none should be at all

Hitting manual override he reduced his speed with the backup drive
All he could do was to brace against the fall
