“If, like me, you find yourself adrift in the sea of disposable pop and cyclical obsolescence, just catch the nearest theremin wave and ride it all the way to the timeless dimension of retro-futurism that is Project Moonbase. This deftly curated weekly, by turns exuberant and tranquil, boasts a slow-burning musical je ne sais quoi that will fill you with a nostalgia you never knew you had.
The eclecticism will please the pickiest of connoisseurs: whether you are seeking a semi-serious study on the discography of William Shatner or an exploration of all things kawaii, you will find something to love in this trove of the forgotten, unusual and exotic. The menu of genre-defying (and genre-exploiting) tidbits will hop from spoken-word to panpipes in the blink of an eye, which I caution may result in an involuntary sensation of unadulterated joy. And from the complexity of polished chiptune to the low-fi bareness of bleeps and bloops, electronica enthusiasts are certainly not left out.
Most offerings carry a theme, alternating between the freely accessible and the calculatedly arcane (I wouldn’t have it any other way), and are interluded by the oh-so-necessary unnecessaries, delivered in the mellifluous tones of Messrs. Bongoboy and Zirconium (bless them for their services to the denizens of this little, blue planet over which they hover). With such an extensive archive, it is difficult for a newcomer to evade the siren song of binge consumption, but I do encourage rationing these slices of musical bliss - for some things, even in abundance, are best left unhurried.
Simply put, Project Moonbase is a tonic for the senses, insulation for the heart and your preferred comfort food for the soul. It is a fitting soundtrack for intergalactic antique markets, candlelit carpet rides, or just a quiet afternoon on the family submarine. But if, like me, you are just a typical human looking for a little refuge from the world, set aside a bit of time each Sunday and listen in as the historic sound of the future beams directly from our nearest and dearest natural satellite, across the bandwidths of time and space, and into the proverbial living room.
Stir your cocoa, settle in, and savor.”

“I’ve been listening to DJ Bongoboy and MC Zirconium’s transmissions from the moon since the days they were relayed by terrestrial frequency modulation - it’s the only podcast I’ve subscribed to and listened to consistently since it was launched.
This is one of the most varied and entertaining...”Read full review »
