Sigma: Oh my god, they've killed Kenny!
Chief Petty Officer Ken
Expendable: No, I’m fine, I’d just seen this really pretty stone and bent down to pick it up,
the disrupty phase cannon thingy beams went over my head.
(Just thought you'd like to meet Ken, who has
made his show debut in the trilogy... Editor)

Lt. Cmdr. Scotty MacLeod:
For the sake of you English numpties,
Colmena is Spanish for hive.
Scotland... it has an education system.

07. Wojciech
Czeronko - Colmena
Now I've got his name right, I'm very much
hoping that's actually him in the photo too! One of our highly respected
EFSPACM colleagues here, providing a track specially for the Space Bees
Trilogy, nice man. Nice take on the subject too, I like this guy's stuff,
it's kind of thoughtful, one of those that stands out from the crowd (with
apologies if you're in the crowd, nothing personal). Based on the poem of
the same name by Federico Garci Lorca. Here's some bits to explore and where
I got the photo from. Please don't be two Wojciech Czeronkos or I will hide
in a corner and sob...

08. UNIT -
The Flying Woman Of Freiburg
You know who they are. It was also Dr. Patel's
guess when the captain said he knew just the woman to help...
o

Captain Riz Sigma:
No, I meant Lavinia Mari, High Priestess Of The Kathodos.
Dr. Faatimah Patel: It seemed a reasonable guess.
Captain Riz Sigma: Scotty, send Trundlix to my quarters. On the shelf
by the window, he’ll find a glowing electronic cup cake pendant. Tell him to
rub the cherry on the top and she will come.
Twizz Sigma: I am SO talking to mum about this.

09. {AN} EeL
- All Hail The Queen
Another colleague from the EFSPACM group,
another track done specially for the Space Bees Trilogy, with just the
slightest hint of copyright theft, though I don't see Johann Strauss II
suing any time soon. Mr. Eel has a remarkably original take on things, there
with his air of avant garde cheeriness and kazoo, experimental voice artist
that he is. One of those annoying artists (when you are trying to describe
what they do) that defy description. But then like I always say; pigeonholes
are for pigeons. No, I know they are actually for communiqués, but it does
kinda make sense if you think about it. Look, I'm wittering here, so I'm
going to shut up now and just direct you to his Bandcamp. Sorted...

Lavinia
Mari, High Priestess Of The Kathodos: I’m going to mentally project some
code into your head, my little ringed friend with icing on top. I need you
to input that into HAL-90, then we are going to give Milton Keynes’s
security system a rather nasty virus. We’re taking this villain down! Right,
let’s get some human computer two way communication going...

10.
Cubic - Human Computer (Two Way Communication)
Coming our way courtesy of Alfa Matrix, "Back
To 808", the most wondrous Belgian electronic underground music, equally
pleasing to ears and feet. I could listen to this all day, honestly, it's
like someone has scanned my brain, found all my favourite electronic sounds,
then assembled them into transistorised joy. You should see the Kawaquad
Amokabot strutting his funky stuff to this, and if I was a mechanoid, I'd be
joining him, but I'm very old, and nurse won't let me. Luckily, you have no
such limitations. WARNING: Liable to overload the pleasure centres of your
aural processing matrix...

o
Milton Keynes: No, what
are you doing to my computers, Sigma? What is happening, why do I see the
blue screen of death?
Captain Riz Sigma: It’s over, Keynes, we’ve defeated you with a
simple online tool.
Unable Spaceman Skit Zoyd: What is simple online tool?
Captain Riz Sigma: Donald Trump on Truth Social?
Yes, I know we take the piss out of him rather
a lot, but he deserves it, so why not? If you enjoy us taking the piss out
of the big idiot, you may like this...

11. Pszren -
Returning To The Village
And yet another track done specially for the
Space Bees Trilogy by an EFSPACM colleague. I'll get Trundlix to put in a
word with Santa for you. Nice list, guaranteed. The bad guy defeated, the
space bees are all returning to the hive village of Colmena on the planet
Apis Mellifera, orbiting Bellatrix (Orion, top right corner, if you don't
believe me); he sits by a grand piano on the lush blue green world,
accompanying our little winged friends as they make their way. Artistic
license on my behalf, yes. I will, of course, use the track in its original
clean format for the album, but I thought this worked so well for the show.
Wonderful thing is serendipity. You can explore Pszren's world on his
Bandcamp right here. And don't be fooled by all the Japanese stuff, it's
definitely him, promise...

Twizz Sigma:
Ladies, gentlemen,
non-binaries and mechanoids, with a song he’s written specially for the
cause, please welcome the legendary Bard Of Ely, as seen on Britain’s Got
Talent, Steve Andrews...

12. Steve
Andrews - It's Time To Save The Bees
Undying gratitude to this all time great
underground super-trooper and his co-writer on this number, Jeanne L.
Thompson, for not only creating a special song for the show, but also going
all the way to the orbit of Bellatrix to perform it in Nine Backward on the
WSS Boobyprise. I've done some hikes for gigs in the past, but doubt I could
come close to 250 lightyears. No sleep till Deptford is barely a contest.
I've known Steve from way back into Music & Elsewhere days, when he had
several albums released on the label and was one of our best selling
artists, which I've always put down to his dogged spirit and never say die
attitude. And yes, Twizz wasn't taking the piss, he really did go in for
Britain's Got Talent, season 11, I believe. His audition (better than most
people's performances!) is still up on You Tube (click on the logo). He has
half the audience (the female half) up on stage with him, brilliant fun. And
as far as we're concerned, he was never rightfully eliminated, because
Alesha Dixon reached over
and pressed Amanda Holden's buzzer when wasn't
looking, coz she was still enjoying Steve's performance! Oh yes, Ms. Dixon,
name and shame, don't think you're
going to get away with it just coz you went out with an AFC Wimbledon
player! Jack Hughes! No, hang on, that's
not
right. J'accuse. That's it. Excusez-moi, mon français est merdique. We
demand his immediate reinstatement directly to the final, that he wins, and
that he gets to be the next Doctor Who. Sorted...

Jaxx Magic as 'Twizz Sigma'
My collaborator on the Space Bees Trilogy,
and all the proud dad stuff aside, she'd set up the FTBC charity project
when she was 10 (and had already won awards for collecting chocolate for
Ukrainian child refugees before that), so is well worthy of the nod. Gets
hugely embarrassed when I mention Officer Kitty or her excellent vocals on I
Want More Toys, but I still think they were brilliant. You can follow the
FTBC journey so far right here on this website...

Todd Rowley as 'Milton
Keynes'
First my daughter, now my brother, what
kind of nepotism is this? Hey, 'Exploitation begins at home' (Ferengi Rules
Of Acquisition). You'll possibly recall his earlier film work from the
radioshow special we did for his movie, Blood Hunt, three years back, now
cutting out a new role in the form of sci fi author, penning the Splinter
Tribe Saga, two books of which are now available; The Thief Of Faces and The
Power House...
https://toddrowley.co.uk
Stuart
Hamilton as 'Lt. Cmdr. Scotty MacLeod'
Currently your host on The Rocker blog, a
blues radio presenter affectionately known as Mr. H in the more recent past,
and editor of the Zeitgeist zine way back in the day, Stuart was later
forced into radio acting by people who wouldn't let him stay in their house
any more if he didn't. Unlike James Doohan in Star Trek, Stuart is actually
genuinely Scottish, hailing from Leith. Like The Proclaimers, but better
looking...
https://therocker.blog

Kevin Trundley as 'Trundlix'
Over there t'other side of Pennines, Saltburn
On Sea to be precise (finally, Trundlix's smoggie accent is explained), Kev
has also done a fair bit of artwork for both the show (he designed the bit
of the WSS Boobyprise we use on promos) and the Magic Bullet project (the
Mick and Skit caricatures), not to mention making a lot of interesting
sounds as his alter ego, Conny Plankton. Another one from back in the days
of glorious cassette culture...
https://connyplankton.bandcamp.com

Lavinia Mari
as 'Lavinia Mari, High Priestess Of The Kathodos'
In the real world, Kathodos are an
experimental band of which Lavinia is a part, but she's also produced some
great work with Olik Nesnah, check out Chasing Shadows Of Another World.
Doesn't have a Bandcamp site of her own yet (though we did receive a solo
track from her not long back), but you'll find examples of both at
Slithering Black Records. As ever, we look forward to the next instalment,
and press-ganging her into more appearances on the show, of course...
https://slitheringblackrecords.bandcamp.com
Daddy?
Uncle Skit? Why does Lavinia Mari call Scotty the scary donut man?
