Countdown by Rush.

...or maybe it's just a long Hot Space review commentary track.

Urban Spaceman by Neil Innes. It;s not actually about space but I bet Brian knows it and anyway, I don't care any more.

If it's got Life On Mars on it I'll punch the Amazon link.

Some weeks ago Brian mentioned an interesting new release.
Maybe he didn`t mean the Freddie stuff but this one???

Amazon.co.jp indicates a February 7th, 2020 release now, and it's been removed from Amazon.co.uk.

I notice that japanese website still shows the release date as December 6th, does anyone think that might be a mistake or something else

Worryingly, the links I've found seem to link the OTHER Brian May.

I think I may have found a clue about this album, which is supposedly out in a couple of weeks.

On this Barnes and Noble product listing page for the CD, if you scroll down and click on "Album Credits" you will find "Technical Credits" for Gustav Holst - Composer, and Richard Strauss - Composer.
https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/out-of-this-world-brian-mays-ultimate-space-collection/34355493

Holst is known for his orchestral suite The Planets, and Strauss's work was famously used as the theme for 2001: A Space Odyssey, so they're fitting inclusions for an album titled "Journey into Space." But will they be in orchestral form? Or maybe guitar orchestrations by Brian? He has been doing his own take on Dvorak's New World Symphony on the Rhapsody Tour, and (this is a stretch, but..) even the 20th Century Fox thing, so it wouldn't be too crazy. Could we be looking at an instrumental album?
