Embark on a wild, cosmic adventure with the Spaceship Zero: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack CD, a cult favorite from Canadian indie rock band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. Released in 2000, this unique concept album serves as the soundtrack to a fictional sci-fi film and the foundation for a multimedia franchise that includes a roleplaying game, comic book, and even “lost” radio plays.
Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror and classic space opera, the story follows the crew of Spaceship Zero as they test the revolutionary Better-Than-Light (BTL) Drive. When the experiment goes awry, the ship becomes ground zero for a new Big Bang, and the crew awakens billions of years later in a universe both familiar and terrifyingly different-now under threat from alien conquerors. The album’s liner notes include a short story about the crew’s bizarre journey, making this CD a true collector’s item for fans of sci-fi, Lovecraftian lore, and indie music.
The soundtrack features 15 tracks of quirky, energetic rock with titles like “Theme To Spaceship Zero,” “The Innsmouth Look,” “Power Up!,” “Kablam!” and “Sounds of Tindalos.” The CD originally included bonus content such as a PC video game and screensaver, further enhancing its cult status among collectors and fans of multimedia experiences.
