Very deep soundtrack, it immerses you in the world of Flaky. All tracks are fantastic but my favs are Transit to Tohil and How High
Favorite track: How High.
In the dark alleys of Earth's urban sprawl, Flaky was an artistic legend with a knack for pushing the boundaries of expression. But the city walls were closing in on him, and the call of the cosmos echoed in his restless soul.
Rumors buzzed through the interplanetary art scene, whispering of Flaky's audacious plan to bomb the trains on Io, Jupiter's wild moon. It wasn't just about defying gravity but about flipping the middle finger to the universe itself. Flaky, equipped with a patched together spacesuit that looked straight out of a cyberpunk sci-fi flick, hopped on a sleek spacecraft bound for Io, leaving Earth's concrete jungle behind.
As he descended towards Tvashtar Paterae, a hotspot of volcanic chaos, the spacecraft danced through alien sulfur clouds. Flaky, tagging the stars in his mind, set foot on Io's rocky surface near the Gravity Yard, where monolithic machines awaited their turn on the Ionic Monorail heading to Tohil. The eight-car train, scarred by volcanic tantrums, became Flaky's canvas. His aerosol cans, modified for space travel, spat vibrant defiance against Io's stark backdrop. Under the eerie glow of Jupiter, Flaky scaled the side of the train during the Night Shift at the Tohil Yard, the train’s surface slowly transforming. The Transit to Tohil queue transformed into a riot of color, a rebellious mark against the monotonous gray of Io. How high could one's aspirations soar in a place where rebellion met the vacuum of space and the unceasing onslaught of ionized atoms raining down from Jupiter’s magnetosphere?
The whispers of Flaky's audacious feat echoed through the Tohil Yard. Authorities, always watchful, grappled with enforcing order in this distant corner of the solar system. Flaky's graffiti, a symbol of defiance against monoculture constraints, became the talk of Earth, Jupiter, and the space colonies beyond. The legacy he left on the trains of Io transcended the boundaries of gravity, settling like flaky sulfur dust on moving steel canvases racing through the volcanic expanse.
As Flaky boarded his spacecraft for the return journey to Earth, he left behind a mark that resonated across the solar system. The whispers of the next frontier for vandal art echoed through space, inspiring a new generation to dream beyond the limits of gravity and planetary constraints. For in the vastness of the universe, Flaky's art spoke the language of the streets, even among the stars.
