The countdown is on. Santogold, Tom Waits, Kanye West, MIA and David Byrne are among the artists who will appear on NASA’s forthcoming album, The Spirit of Apollo. We refer not, of course, to the USA’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That NASA, the space-exploring one, is too busy fiddling with Mars probes to lay down tracks with Spank Rock and CSS’s Lovefoxxx. No, we mean the other NASA, a DJ duo also known as North America/South America, who have been putting the record together for years, criss-crossing the globe to work with their favourite musicians. The group is composed of Squeak E Clean – aka DJ Sam Spiegel, brother of director Spike Jonze – and DJ Zegon, aka producer and professional skateboarder Ze Gonzales. The Spirit of Apollo will be released by Anti on February 17. It’s a truly star-studded album, the culmination of five years’ work by Spiegel and Gonzales. "It’s not about cash or anything," Spiegel told NME. "It seems that almost everyone I’ve asked to be on the record has been really down for music just for inspiration … It was like, ‘Oh cool, I like this music, I wanna be involved.‘" The list of cameos is almost unprecedented. DJ AM, who was injured in a plane crash last month, appears. So does the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard and a slew of other Wu-Tang Clan members. Not to mention Chuck D, Seu Jorge, John Frusciante, George Clinton, Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O and Nick Zinner, and many more.
