The album is considered to be a space-funk classic, inspired by David Bowie's Life on Mars?. Wansel composed his own sci-fi sounds with swirling, ring-like oscillators, cosmic sub tones, and metallic, otherworldly leads using his signature ARP 2600 synthesiser. Wansel's pioneering synth sound was shared on numerous records with artists like MFSB, Billy Paul, Evelyn \"Champagne\" King, Teddy Pendergrass, and The Jones Girls. The album inspired other artists, and Wansel's Theme From The Planets drum beat intro is hailed as being one of the first foundation beats of hip-hop. His sampled music has been used by Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Drake, Rick Ross, J. Cole, Wiz Khalifa, and Ice Cube, amongst others. Life On Mars is available on black vinyl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48312131748058,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/4533266-3684299.jpg?v=1786147092","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/dexter-wansel-life-on-mars-vinyl-lp-pre-order-out-9-18-26","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
