Before Nostromo, by Stephan Mathieu

Before Nostromo

by Stephan Mathieu

supported by

Paul W. Rankin Of the Alien prequels, this is the only one I return to. Favorite track: Stasis 5 (Ripley‘s Dream).

Jeremy Z Great, introspective work. Dreams or nightmares? Wishes or fears? Hard to tell.

Severac Music that returns me to places that now only exist as fragments of memories

Will Long Even a vague reference to Alien would attract me, yet here the music brings it to a whole new world, the still places in between. Everything we missed but imagined.
