Space Odyssey

Space Odyssey formed in the early 1980s, with Orion Sinclair as their frontman. Their debut album 'Cosmic Horizons' blended ambient textures with rock, which caught some attention at the time. The band toured, though the existing accounts of that period lean toward the dramatic.

They're best known for 'Requiem For A Dream,' a song with orchestral touches and a melancholy pull that connected with listeners. Other tracks like 'Astral Episode' and 'Back To The Dark' followed a similar atmospheric path. Sinclair's lyrics tended toward themes of longing and introspection, often wrapped in cosmic imagery.

The band faced internal tensions and personal struggles, which eventually took a toll. They kept recording through it, putting out songs like 'Dazzle The Devil' and 'Despair And Pain' that continued in their established vein. Their sound remained consistent, a mix of spacious arrangements and rock foundation, with Sinclair's voice at the center.
