Takes you on a blast into outerspace with a heavy take-off...tossing you into a blissfull trip across space/time. Then, after a trip to Sirius B, conversing with some aliens, your are then shot, while inside your waterbubble, back into a time where Michael Jackson was alive, Godzilla was a popular movie and, slowly brought back to your own reality with some tasty jam and hip-hop.
