Jeff Mills's next full-length is an original score for Fantastic Voyage, the 1966 science fiction film by Harry Kleiner.

Rather than Mills' usual forte of outer space or the distant future, Fantastic Voyage is set within the human body. The film's plot runs something like this: in the midst of the Cold War, the US and the Soviet Union develop technology to dramatically miniaturize objects or people for temporary periods of time. After an assassination attempt leaves a key scientist comatose, the US puts a group of operatives inside a submarine, shrinks them down and injects them into the scientist's body to repair his potentially fatal blood clot. Breathtaking adventures ensue.

"In creating this soundtrack, there was slight tolerance for a dominating cold technological impression," says Mills. "The human body, the most organic of all Mankind's creations, far exceeds this realm. Early on in the production, it became apparent to me that what this film really needed was a sound scheme that is as unorthodox as Outer Space and as organic as the color pallet in the Seas and Oceans of our Planet Earth."

The album will be Mills' second this year to be inspired by a classic sci-fi film, after 2087, which was based on Cyborg: 2087. It will be released on Axis Records as a double CD in October.

01. Introduction - Phase 1-3
