about

This is the last song of Dr Sludgelove's first album inspired by the Stanley Kubrick movie 2001 a space odyssey. After the journey through the wormhole, Dave Bowman finally arrives. The monolith creates an environment for Dave to exist in that would not harm him in any way, makes it look like a hotel room, filling it with familiar items to assuage any fear and appear welcoming.
Dave can't believe what he sees, but leaves the pod and explores the room in his suit. He sees the telephone and telephone book, but the phone doesn't work and the telephone book is blank.
He explores more and finds the refridgerator, where there is a variety of packaged food, but it is all "blue substance, of about the weight and texture of bread pudding. Apart from its odd color, it looked quite appetizing."
There are clothes in the closet, which are a bit out of date for Dave's time.
Dave decides to trust the enviroment. "But this is ridiculous, Bowman told himself. I am almost certainly being watched, and I must look an idiot wearing this suit. If this is some kind of intelligence test, I've probably failed already. Without further hesitation, he walked back into the bedroom and began to undo the clamp of his helmet. When it was loose, he lifted the helmet a fraction of an inch, cracked the seal and took a cautious sniff. As far as he could tell, he was breathing perfectly normal air."
He eats the blue food and drinks the water, showers, dresses and he turns on the television.
Refreshed and exhausted, Dave lies down on the bed, turns off the light and "...for the last time, David Bowman slept."
The Power behind the monolith then transforms Dave into the Starchild, the next evolution of man.
