In this historic recording, Karl Houston and His Astronaut American Orchestra experience the technical difficulties so often associated with the use of experimental musical instruments. The dialog between Houston and the Orchestra can be clearly heard as they attempt to diagnose the cascading failures occurring in their hydro-electric instruments. The trouble starts as soon as Houston asks his "13" to stir up their cryo-tanks, pictured here, which serve to pressurize the rest of the Orchestra. There is a real threat that the entire song is doomed to loop around the moon eternally.
