The Spore Cloud From Planet M-67 is not the only spore cloud, but is the only one to have visited our solar system [that it knows of]. Its planet is located in a dimension adjacent to this one. In fact, the actual travel distance between
M-67 and Earth is not great at all.

UDR: Elaborate further on the Spore Cloud's objective. What motivates SC?

SC: I am presently on a reconnaissance mission that was launched a couple of [earth] decades ago. Until given further instructions I will proceed on said mission. I guess you could say I am a scout [but I wouldn't]. Believe it or not, your astronauts and various space agencies discovered me on the moon some years ago but only recognized me as a pink mist. I'm sure they must the reports and transmissions in their archives.

UDR: Talk about the SC's process of creating sounds. Does the SC consider its sonic leavings to be music?

SC: Here is my "Now It Can Be Told" moment. Previously I had stated that the sound of Spore Cloud was the audiological byproduct of digestion. This statement was/is a blatant act of disinformation on my part. Some years ago [must have been the early 70's] M-67 and likewise M-68 began receiving transmissions from NASA satellites. Not a big deal really because we get them all the time [not only from Earth]. What made those new transmissions different was that they coincided with the launch of Skylab in 1973. I would elaborate but I might harm certain parties if I do. Let's just say the launch of Skylab may have everything to do with the sound[s] I create. Whether or not I consider my sounds to music I cannot say...I will say however that NASA's claim that Skylab disintegrated in '79 is bunk.

UDR: Why is the presence of Spore Clouds considered classified?

SC: The answer should not come as much of a shock. Spore Clouds are not only intelligent beings but are extraterrestrial in nature. Therefore, it stands to reason that the Clouds pose a general threat not only to your planet but to the earthling way of life as well. Knowledge of my presence on a large scale will throw all first-world power structures into question and will reposition humanity onto a much lower rung of the intergalactic evolutionary ladder.

UDR: What does the government have to gain by witholding information/music from the public?

SC: Time. The longer they can convince themselves of their weak grasp on this planet the longer they think they are in control of your solar system. One way in which they typically go about this is by controlling information. Music [as you call it] is a more universal type of information and can therefore be seen as among the most dangerous of all threats especially in regards to the communicative barriers it lowers between beings of opposing origins.

UDR: Why would earthlings deliberately mislead each other by spreading mis/dis-information?

SC: Humans 'in the know' are quite aware of the undeniable truth and are bent on disallowing knowledge of the Clouds. To elaborate further on my previous statement, knowledge of my race being here on this planet will cause the whole of humanity to tear down the power structures that have mislead them. There will be a brief period of anarchy, you see, but eventually the peoples of Earth will re-coagulate on a much more even plane in relation to not only one another but also the other planets/beings that will then make their presence known to Earth.

UDR: Would popular knowledge of Spore Clouds worldwide compromise your original mission objectives?

SC: Yes and no... In one way, reconnaissance missions are heavily dependent on anonymity but on the other hand, if my overall mission is to send/receive knowledge of human nature what better way can there be to achieve that goal than to allow my presence to known on a mass scale? It is indeed an interesting dilemma...

UDR: By now, Earthlings must have indirectly beamed a great deal of radio and TV signals throughout the universe. What sort of earth signals are you listening for? Are there certain periods of earth history that interest you more than others?

SC: In all honesty, M-67 resides in a different dimension from Earth. My race has the technology to slip easily between them but any signals you have sent do not. As far as Earth history goes I refrain to answer because of certain truths about Earth's time cycles that I'm not entirely sure it's my place to reveal... (At this time anyway).

UDR: You may be familiar with the Wow! Signal... was this signal the result of interference from Spore Cloud activities?

SC: As far as I have been told, No. The Clouds are but one race from one planet in an innumerably vast inter-dimensional universe. This is to say that I (regrettably ) do not have all the answers. Personally I think if the signal did originate from an intelligent source then it can be chalked up to a type of interstellar doorbell ditch.

UDR: The Spore Cloud (music) sounds very similar to contemporary sample-driven earth music. Is this merely a coincidence or just another by-product of Spore Cloud digestion? What came first? sampling? or the Spore Cloud?

SC: The fact that my music reminds you of your earth music is three parts coincidence, byproduct and engineering. In the simplest terms, we know what earthlings will listen to and what they won't. To the second question: Given only two choices I have to say Spore Clouds but it's unclear what aims are loaded into your wording.

UDR: My only aim is to get information, just like you. I am gathering ideas from the music community so that I, and others, can study them.

SC: And I commend you for it. Good information has the potential to save Earth from Earthlings.

UDR: Do Spore Clouds understand "fun"? What do you do when you're not excreting?

SC: Um, not precisely. We understand "funny." For example, ESP {Smudge} is essentially an inside joke about Earth and cyclical time theory which I find hilarious. Quite a few of my songs are like that I guess. Say what you want about the dietary practices of my species but my aim is to simply create sounds that may {if only for an instant} seduce and paralyze your species.

UDR: Is there anything you would like to talk about? Anything you would like to say to the earthlings out there listening in?

SC: To all Earthlings, now it can be told: You forgot to carry and the 1 and all that. Go back and check your math.

UDR: Can you talk about upcoming (missions) from Spore Cloud? When are you likely to excrete more (music)?

SC: At the present I have begun a type of hybridization experiment. Some weeks back a collection of spores had broken formation from my main body and reaccumulated into a separate entity. This new group infected the carcass of a dead human named Leland P. Spunkmeyer {he had a name tag, apparently}. The spores entered his various cavities and the dead body sprang to life {if you could call it that}. The occurrence of this phenomenon had me interested and so I have allowed his existence to flourish so that I can determine what the end result of his reanimation will ultimately be. As far as my music is concerned I will always be creating it as long as I am here.
