The vinyl release of Hello_World contains two 'hidden' tracks on side 4. The vinyl is cut in such a way, that the stylus will fall randomly, and will play one of the two tracks.
Only 250 copies of the vinyl will every be issues.
The Hello_World project is the story of the gentrification of technology since the Apollo era.

The project was embraced by the space research community, and we are delighted to say that a digital copy of the album has been loaded aboard the Peregrine Lander, destined to blast off to the Moon sometime in late 2023 or early 2024. This super exciting news will mean that if the mission is a success, Hello_World will be the first album on the Moon!!
Everyone at 1201_Alarm would like to thank the wonderful people at Astrobotic for making this possible, and wish them all the very best for the mission!
