= Mighty Space Miners =

Mighty Space Miners is an anime OVA directed by Umanosuke Iida. It was released in Japan on November 11, 1994.

The story features a young boy who lives in a mining station in orbit plagued by disaster, in a realistic science fiction style. Despite careful animation, the story was not completed due to being a commercial failure, and only two episodes were produced out of the six originally planned.

Synopsis
In 2060, Nanbu Ushikawa was a 12-year-old boy who lived on board a mining station on the asteroid Toutatis orbiting the Earth. During the 21st century, humans began exploring space near Earth. A company, the Planet Catcher Corporation, was the first to capture asteroids and comets to exploit their mineral resources. Nanbu dreams of taking the test to become a minor in space in his father's footsteps. His plans are undermined when a nuclear space weapon severely damages Toutatis during an operation to capture Halley's Comet. While survivors must find a way to survive the disaster, they discover that their trajectory has deviated, leading them to a definite collision with Earth within 60 hours. Having been abandoned by their company and Japan, they were left to their fate.

= Alps (album) = Alps is the debut studio album of Russian Post-Punk band Motorama. Initially self-released in 2010, it was later reissued in 2013 by French label Talitres.

Critical reception
Nathan Standlee of DIY finds the album derivative of early 2000s New York post-punk bands, particularly Interpol, and criticises its lack of originality. However, he still finds the songs enjoyable.
