Probably a question for the UK peeps - does anyone know if there is a reissue of this LP floating around out there? I'm trying to work out if a copy i've got is an original or not.Cheers!
Brian Bennett Voyage LP

Used to pick this up for ?1/?2 all the time. Must have had 10 copies over the years. Traded them with Sound Library back in the early 00s for really good money. Not sure what it goes for now.
And yes, co-sign on there being some good songs on there.

What seems like many years ago, DJ Anonymous played in my town, this was when he just released the "Listen" mix. I didn't know Solstice then, and asked him what that certain song on his mix was. "Oh yeah, that's an album with a yellow spaceship on it" and he described where I could find it in a local record store. He'd seen it there but didn't think it was clean enough to pay the equivalent of 10 bucks for it. I was happy to get it, and just thought it was a classy move - talk about sharing knowledge.
and sometimes a bit more....

its just one of those records that symbolizes music evolution at that point in time, stuff really progressed alot in that 10 year span, thinking about what BB was recording with the shadows years earlier, quite a stretch, from beat a gogo chease to spacey synth funk..
Today I heard the "Cosmic Disco" tracks on Voyage again fo the first time in ages and still don't like them. Stays a one-tracker for me and I wouldn't pay more then 10 ? for it.
Reminds me a lot of the cosmic sound of the Captain Future OST but the latter is much, much better IMO:

There's probably a lot of soundtrack work of that era that sounds similar, but I think the Voyage Lp is interesting because it isn't just tepid disco, it's part prog, krautrock, funk & disco. It's not a amazingly solid lp by any stretch, but you're way to quick to dismiss it.

Perhaps it's because I'm not into Kraut nor Prog that I dismiss it.
