Across The Universe (album)
''Across The Universe'' is an album released by Trip Shakespeare in 1990. It was the band's first release on A&M Records, the major label that they had signed with earlier in the year. Title The title's echo of a particularly trippy Beatles song recalls lead songwriter Matt Wilson's preoccupation with the British Invasion band: :There's a part of us that's plainly trying to make epic, gorgeous music that can be admired on at least a couple of levels ... There are people who will say: "Rock 'n' roll is supposed to be simple, three-chord stuff like Keith Richards plays." But when you get right down to it, I guess we find ourselves more in the Beatles' school than in the Rolling Stones. Reaction ''Trouser Press'' called ''Across the Universe'' a "too-rare example of an indie act benefiting musically from major-label treatment"—citing an "increased rock edge that doesn't detract from the gentle charm" of tracks like "Snow Days", "Gone, Gone, Gone" and "The Crane"—the ...

Across The Universe (Sargent And Zebrowski Novel)
''Across the Universe'' is a science fiction novel by American writers Pamela Sargent and George Zebrowski, part of the '' Star Trek: The Original Series'' saga. Synopsis The ''Enterprise'' encounters the ancient colony ship 'Hawking'. Due to the relativistic effects of time travel, the crew and passengers have only aged a few decades while two hundred years have passed since they have launched. The crew of the Enterprise find difficulty dealing with these people from the past. The Hawking colonists are distrustful, somewhat paranoid and the ship itself hides a weapon of mass destruction. Inspiration In ''Voyages of Imagination'', George Zebrowski remembered: "''Across the Universe'' went well, with the editing again seeking to keep us to the main characters' viewpoints. I don't recall how the idea was developed, but it was more complex and involved than the final book." On the story, Pamela Sargent adds, "We'd been discussing what might happen if a group of colonists that had ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

There's nowhere to go because the sea's polluted in Italy, you can't go to Greece 'cause there's shit all over the beach, so you know it's holidays in space." Critical reception On its release as a single, Robin Smith of ''Record Mirror'' wrote, "Not warp factor five. More like a damp rocket on Guy Fawkes night. Our Holly does his best with this rather tatty tune but it still chugs along like a trip to Batley ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Across The Universe (message)
Across the Universe is an interstellar radio message (IRM) consisting of the song "Across the Universe" by the Beatles that was transmitted on 4 February 2008, at 00:00 UTC by NASA in the direction of the star Polaris. This transmission was made using a 70-meter "DSS-63" dish in the NASA Deep Space Network's (DSN) Madrid Deep Space Communication Complex, located in Robledo, near Madrid, Spain. The transmission ran in the 4.2-cm band (around 7.14 GHz, C band) at a power of 18 kilowatt. The format was digital, transmitted at a rate of 128 kbps, lasting 3.6 minutes – the normal speed and data rate for a digital recording on Earth. This action was done in order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the song's recording, the 45th anniversary of the DSN, and the 50th anniversary of NASA. The idea was hatched by Beatles historian Martin Lewis, who encouraged all Beatles fans to play the track as it was beamed towards the distant star. The event marked the third time ...
