''Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon'' (stylized as ''KiD CuDi presents SATELLITE FLIGHT: The Journey to Mother Moon'') is the fourth studio album by American hip hop recording artist Kid Cudi. The album, which was issued on February 25, 2014, with only few hours' notice, was first released to digital retailers, such as iTunes and Google Play, by Wicked Awesome Records and Republic Records. Kid Cudi first revealed information about the project in October 2013, announcing it would be an EP, primarily produced by himself, much like his last effort ''Indicud'' (2013). Cudi has stated the album is a prelude to the next installment in his ''Man on the Moon'' series and serves as a bridge between ''Indicud'' and ''Man on the Moon III''. ==Background and development== In October 2013, while on tour at a show in Texas, Kid Cudi announced he would be releasing an extended play (EP), sometime in the next three months. Cudi also revealed he would be producing it alongside his WZRD band-mate Dot da Genius and that frequent collaborator King Chip, would appear on the EP.〔〔 He then called the EP a prelude to his fourth album ''Man on the Moon III'', which he announced would be released in 2015.〔 On October 19, 2013, Cudi revealed "Going to the Ceremony", a song he had released via online audio distribution platform SoundCloud, earlier in July, would be included in the EP. Cudi would also go on to reveal a remix of his hit single "Day 'n' Nite", which was briefly previewed on the intro of his 2008 breakout mixtape ''A Kid Named Cudi'', would also appear on the EP. On November 25, 2013, via his Twitter feed, Cudi revealed the title of the EP to be ''Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon''. On December 16, 2013, Kid Cudi once again utilized SoundCloud to release "Satellite Flight", the EP's title-track. On December 20, 2013, Cudi expressed on Twitter: "This EP is designed to reclaim my style others have been tryna duplicate for the past 5 years." On January 18, 2014, Kid Cudi revealed the EP would be released in February, when he tweeted: "We all take flight in February. Get to packin Cud Fam!". Later that day, Cudi tweeted: "''Satellite Flight: The Journey To Mother Moon'' is the bridge between ''INDICUD'' and MOTM3. An experience 6 years in the making." He also tweeted: "Upon the release of the EP, play all my albums back to back starting from MOTM1 (''WZRD'' included) to prepare u for the next chapter, MOTM3" On January 27, 2014, Kid Cudi revealed on Twitter that ''Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon'', would no longer be an EP, but a full-length studio album instead. Kid Cudi also confirmed the album would still be released in February.〔〔 On January 31, 2014, in an interview with MTV, Cudi explained he hit such a creative stride when he began to work on the EP, that he decided to just complete a full album instead. During the same interview he stated the album will bridge the gap between ''Indicud'' and the third part in the ''Man on the Moon'' series: "It starts where ''Indicud'' left off perfectly, and takes you right into MOTM III. It's like a TV show that ends with that cliffhanger. The album ends that way, where you get that one song and before you know it, the song is over and the album is over, but there's a 'to be continued...' There's more to the story."〔 Cudi also revealed that the album would first be released to digital retailers and added that the physical copy might contain bonus tracks, or as he called them "deleted scenes" or "flashbacks."〔 On February 13, 2014, via his Twitter account, Cudi unveiled the album's official track-listing, as well as the album art, which he designed himself. Cudi also stated that the track-listing is only the "digital release track listing" and that "new jams will be added for the physical, kind of like a extended 'Directors Cut'!". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
