This one is about the Space Traveler, fleeing his world that is about to undergo the throes of a full nuclear exchange,
essentially the ultimate escapism concept. Very heavy with layered guitars, feedback, and a powerful ending with the final power chord decaying into the primordial soup! The title of this song came from an Astronomy magazine article about future starship design. “Rigil” is Rigil Kentaurus, the closest multiple star system to Earth, in the constellation of Centaurus.

Music, Lyrics, and Sequencing: David Hearn. Music concept: James “Hoppy” Taylor; “Commercial Street Jam”. Drums concept: Henry “Skip” Flower. Drums performance: Mark McKenzie. Bass: Lowell Teasdale.
