Man On A Mission Music Review:
"Close to 1,800 bands traveled from across the country and the world to showcase their musical prowess. However, one of the most magical selections of music was the original score of Man on a Mission. Composers Brian Satterwhite and John Constant musically capture the intensity of the training mission in Russia, while building up to the airy mystery of outer space with heroic proportions. Austin band, Candi and the Strangers, contribute with futuristic pieces that allude to the unknown, almost serving as the soundtrack to Garriotts own fantastical, mysterious alter gaming-ego, Lord British.
So, while SXSW is officially over, the experience truly lives on in this incredibly well-documented and edited film with an equally as profound storyline and score not bad for a bunch of dreamers from Austin. "
