Aside from going to space an' all that jazz, N.A.S.A. also make Hip Hop albums.

Well actually that was a bit of a lie; N.A.S.A. stands for North America/South America and are in actual fact wizard-production duo DJ Zegon and Squeek E. Clean. They dropped their debut album Spirit of Apollo in mid February to mass critical acclaim; an album which features fully over forty massive music names. From David Byrne to Kanye West, and M.I.A. to Tom Waits, this album which was six years in the making blows your socks off yo' little tootsies straight from the first track.

Whilst there are times when you get the impression that N.A.S.A. are maybe just little bit too pleased with themselves, the sound is always rescued by quality beats, impressive turntablisim and, more importantly, Tom Waits.
