Stellar Collections

In this 2001 release, Mark blends more than 26 compositions from the best of his planetarium soundtrack work over the past two decades.

Avid Geodesium fans may recognize some familiar themes among the works comprising this thought-provoking retrospective album; four tracks revisit selections from Anasazi and Fourth Universe, but this time in richer, more complex and satisfying detail.

Both the up-tempo star flights as well as the floating journeys into deep space nebulosities that are the hallmarks of the Geodesium style are represented in this 62-minute, must-have disc!

The first commercial pressing of the CD sold out years ago. Now, the professionally-replicated CD-R is provided in a poly-wrapped jewel case; its full-color booklet, tray card and disc labeling are basically identical to the 2001 original.
