Some people (not this author) may recommend smoking something, putting this on and charging some cream. ‘Contact’ is an excellent budget-friendly alternative to intergalactic travel. The song begins with dialogue of an astronaut identifying a UFO, before masterfully building to a spacey crescendo reminiscent of ‘Opus’ by Eric Prydz. ‘Contact’ is an epic and ethereal musical odyssey that would not be out of place in the Interstellar soundtrack.

In the hours I spent re-listening to their discography, attempting to rank their songs, one thing became obvious.
