Blasters of the Universe is a music album by Stephen Parsick and Cosmic Hoffmann. The album was recorded in the time Parsick collaborated with Hoffmann in Mind Over Matter. They were exercises for a performance in 2001 at the Jodrell Bank Observatory. However, the recordings were never released because they were quite elongated. Parsick scanned the recordings in 2008 and only the most important components were removed and reassembled. The result is a music album where the music returns to the start days of Tangerine Dream (especially the Force Majeure album) and Vangelis (Soil Festivities with the walking bassnotes). The album was published in a very small 25-sheet edition, which could be purchased at a performance of Parsick at the Zeiss Planetarium in Bochum on December 13, 2008; The rest could be ordered by e-mail and sold out on December 20, 2008. Striking are the very clear sounds of Hoffmann, which can also be found on his Mind Over Matter albums. The gloomy ambience that Parsick would play later can not be found on this album. Musicians
