5th album by this electronic pioneers from France, actives from the '70: it comes out in 500 Limited edition black vinyl, gatefold and 180 gramms. With this album, in 1981, which featured an active collaboration with a few members of Visitors, rockets changed their public appearance; not only 'space men' were in the act now, but also wizards, 'doctors', cowboys, motorcyclists and so on. This album featured female vocals, Chantal Ricci singing on 'Ideomatic', as well as a computerized drum for the first time. The only single taken from the LP was 'Radiate / King of the universe' released exclusively in Spain. A great number of mags announced that in the new live show ROCKETS would fight on stage with Visitors in a real musical battle and the tour would expand into North America where they would have to change their name to SILVER ROCKETS to avoid being confused with the aforementioned Detroit band; unfortunately both rumours turned out to be unfounded.
