Jean-Jacques Perrey (1929-2016) was a legendary pioneer in electronic music. "Destination Space" was his 22nd album in his long career of many classic Moog synthesizer albums. Perrey has been sampled and celebrated from everyone from Ice T, Dr. Dre, Fatboy Slim, The Beastie Boys, Smash Mouth, Negativland, They Might Be Giants , and even The Beatles to name a few.

Perrey's music partner for this album was arranger and composer Dana Countryman. Their second CD together was recorded in Countryman's studio in Seattle and blazed new musical territory, adding rock and spy themes to their happy-go-lucky space age science fiction tunes. They even get funky with a Moog-ed out dance tune: "Funky Little Spacegirl."
