The year is 2022... ... the crew of VEGA-5 sets off on new adventures in space: Commander Laura B. Lee, the scientist Dr. Cassandra Mars, the explorer Ted Rizzo, Android VHX2000 and a worn-out space cowboy named Dirk Dawson. But there are not only black holes, giant insects and supernovas lurking at the edge of the galaxy. With VEGA-5 (Avventure nel Cosmo), MONDO SANGUE takes the listeners into space. In the style of classic science fiction series and films, the musical journey begins in the psychedelic late sixties, roams through the opulent compositions of the seventies and ends at the synthetic beginning of the 1980s. The story of VEGA-5 is peppered with loving references to European - especially Italian - genre cinema, yet creates something completely new and independent. MONDO SANGUE again express their passion for music and cinema with the 3rd album, wonderfully illustrated by Adrian Keindorf. Genreconnoisseur Bela B is also on board again - with duet partner Yvy Pop - as "Space Cowboy - Lo Straniero del Pianeta X". The 180g vinyl LPs are limited to 666 pieces and hand-numbered. Each LP comes with a large lenticular card and a download code. About MONDO SANGUE The Stuttgart-based duo MONDO Sangue (Christian Bluthardt and Yvy Pop), founded in 2015, produces music inspired by Italian cinema of the 1960/70s and skilfully transports this unique sound into modern times. After an excursion into the jungle (L'Isola dei Dannati - The Island of the Damned; soundtrack for a fictional cannibal movie, 2016) and a ride through the spaghetti western (No Place for a Man - Il Villaggio delle Donne, 2018), their third studio album will be released in 2020 - science fiction on vinyl: VEGA-5 (Avventure nel Cosmo).
