MP3 of the Day

After recording the indie-pop equivalent of Smells Like Teen Spirit with Hey, Hey Girl, ROCKETSHIP released the beloved album A Certain Smile, a Certain Sadness in 1996. Fans couldn't stop gushing about the saccharine male/female vocal harmonies washed over in layers of analog synthesizers. The 1999 follow-up, Garden of Delights, described by the band as "experimental ambient space pop," was met with much less enthusiasm, and to this day many fans won't admit this record even exists. For everyone out there who keeps saying: "I wish Dusty Reske had made more than one album!" I'm hear to tell you he did. Actually, ROCKETSHIP put out an album this past year called Here Comes...Rocketship. Today's MP3, No More Tomorrows, is from that album.

What if I only want to remember that Dustin made "A Certain Smile, a Certain Sadness?"

It's pretty clear that Rocketship peaked in 1996
