A project born from the first measurable traces of the Big Bang itself, Mysterium Tremendum is Mickey Hart’s paean to the rhythms vibrating through all dimensions of reality. Each track in Mysterium Tremendum found its genesis in a sonification of the cosmic forces governing our universe — from galaxies, nebulas and stars to cosmic background radiation stemming from the beginning of time. Backed by a stellar ensemble of cosmonaut-musicians and set to lyrics written by the Grateful Dead’s longtime songwriter Robert Hunter, Mysterium Tremendum joins the mysteries of sciences and the joys of music together to form a single commandment: “Dance now, think later”.

  • This album has a universal appeal.  It's infectious with its rhythms; you'll find yourself spontaneously moving with the beat.  The thematic flow from start to end makes you want to listen to the album in its entirety.  Fans of the Grateful Dead will love it for its experimental flavor and the Robert Hunter lyrics.  It's one of the first real new works to come out of the Dead family in years and may end up being Mickey Hart's best solo work so far.

  • Hart's constant groove exploration and "infinite universe" attitude keep the music mysterious, if not tremendous.

  • The music itself is fabulous, compelling and complex.

  • the songs, about half with lyrics by Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, take off for the heavens because of the stellar playing, production, solid melodies and a vibrant approach that makes every track shimmer.

  • This is one of the most innovative and interesting albums I have heard in a long time.  Mickey and his awesome band break new musical ground and show us the future of music.
