about

1. TITAN CENTAUR LIFTOFF, 1977
20th October 1977, date of launch of the space mission "Voyager 2", which was aimed at first for the study of Jupiter and Saturn. However, while outdoing the original goals, the space probe managed to realise one of the biggest dream of mankind : doing a Grand Tour of the solar system. Thanks to extreme luck, Voyager managed to reach Uranus and Neptune, the final frontier of our solar system.

2. A JOURNEY TO NEPTUNE
It took 12 years for Voyager 2 to reach Neptune; while it was there, it provided scientists unexpected reports and photos from that cold giant, which were crucial taking in account the fact that most of these informations were unobtainables from the ground. To this day, most of the data we have about Neptune (and Uranus) still coming from that flyby by Voyager done 33 years ago.

3. RINGS AROUND NEPTUNE
Like the other gaz planets Neptune got a vast rings system, even though it's simple as its satellite system. All arcs carry a name, in order "Fraternité", "Egalité 1", "Egalité 2", "Liberté" and Courage. 4 little moons of Neptune are orbiting inside this ring system, namely Naiad, Thalassa, Despina and Galatea.
In fact, this track is a tribute to the track "Rings around Saturn" from Photek, from which I sampled the rain at the beginning and the break at the end. That's the track that got me into jungle/intelligent dnb, as well as getting me into planetology (without this track I may have never done Jovian System !).

4. LIVING ATMOSPHERE
Unlike pre-Voyager 2 thoughts, Neptune actually got a pretty active Atmosphere. Mainly composed of methane, as Uranus (and unlike Jupiter and Saturn, which are both mainly composed of Hydrogene and Helium), Neptune holds
the record of the most powerful storms of the Solar System : Voyager 2 captured storms going at roughly 2000 km/h.

5. TRITON
Discovered back in the 19th century, Triton is one of the most mysterious moon of the Solar System. Orbiting Neptune with a retrograde orbit, and being way bigger than the other Neptunian moons, Triton existence here is theorized by a potential captured by Neptune from the Kuiper belt just behind the planet.

6. A SATELLITES KILLER
The unusual form of the system, mainly composed of small bodies and by the important size of Triton leads to a theory which supposes that Triton collided in a lot of the "original" satellites of Neptune, and whether absorbed them or desintegrated them into thin pieces around Neptune.

7. BEYOND NEPTUNE, THE INFINITY
Voyager 2, after flying by Neptune, heads directly down to the ultimate frontier of the solar system. in 2018, the space probe finally left the Solar System by travelling through the Kuiper belt, revealing new bodies called "Trans-Neptunian Object", changing our look on Pluto; in fact, some of these bodies were way bigger than Pluto, explaining its category been changed to "dwarf planet".
Even with a distance of billions of kilometers, we are still able to communicate with the probe, though its electric generator is about to die, thus ending this mission.

I hope you will like this new Planetary Phonk tape ! It was very fun to work on it, especially when it's about a topic like that that interests me a lot. In fact, the more I dig into planetary stuff for my tapes, the more I get motivated for my studies.
Be ready, the Grand Tour of the Solar System isn't finished yet....
Love y'all,
dvnce <3.
