F.M. Einheit is surely keeping busy with the release of yet another German
radio drama, this one based around the race to the moon in the 1960's merged
with the classical Greek mythological hero Odysseus. This alternate reality
takes us on a fantasy journey asking what if the Greek culture never died and
was the first into the heavens. Ironically enough, so many stellar bodies and
constellations are named after Greek literary figures, this drama is not so
unbelievable. The dialogue is a mixture of English, German, and Latin, with
samples taken directly from the Apollo space program as well as quotations from
classical Greek literature. This release is best experienced as a whole in a
single sitting rather than a collection of dissimilar tracks, mostly because
the storyline makes little sense when experienced out of order. Certainly
"Odysseus 7" ranks up with other Ammer/Einheit radio dramas like "Radio
Inferno" and "Apocalypse Live", but one has to ask, do we need yet another
modern interpretation of classical mythology?
