This is intriguing news indeed. On behalf of the post-punk loving peoples of Venus and Mars I would just like to say, "Thankyou for this superlative interstellar gift and it couldn't come at a better time as the envoy from Alpha Centauri has robbed our last copy of Wilder by The Teardrop Explodes and we've worn out our copy of To The Shores Of Lake Placid too. We'll send up a probe as soon as it arrives. Also, when is Julian coming back? We need a couple of Mellotron parts urgently! Oh and can you get Bill Drummond to ring Gruad (aka The Dealy Lama) c/o The Atlantean Federation of Papa New Guinea immediately. They're still waiting for the gig that was scheduled almost 30 years ago. Over and out!"
