Funny, I've never heard the album, but I read about it in the Prog Rock FAQ book by Will Romano. When I read this topic, that's the first thing that came to mind, but I couldn't remember the name EITHER!

You've never seriously listened to an album on YouTube?

Dimensionaut got a vinyl reissue in 2019. The limited gatefold edition included the CD (pic).
No separate CD reissue as of yet, but it's not exactly Unobtanium. https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?sort=price%2Casc&limit=250&artist_id=3282163&ev=ab&ships_from=United+States

Unfortunately that album (SOC) is out of print so I hope you don't need a physical copy. Glad you found out what it is though.

SOUND OF CONTACT. YES. I knew there was an "of" and a "C" in there! RICHARD you are THE MAN and your taste in music is impeccable, clearly.

Cosmograf and Lonely Robot were the first two that came to my mind.

It does sound a bit like the one off project Sound Of Contact and their album called Dimensionaut. The main writers are Dave Kerzner and Simon Collins (son of Phil). Kerzner also further explores these themes on the In Continuum albums which were originally intented to be the follow up to the Dimensionaut release I believe and tackle the subject of being disconnected from a space alien perspective rather than a human perspective.

Edison's Children are not Ayreon related. It was a side project involving Pete Trewavas from Marillion and another guy. One of the guest musicians was Neil Armstrong's son.

Dont forget the section with female vocals is reggae-esque. Think this beat/tempo. And it comes out of nowhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3m3b5GGflk

Nope and nope. I am very familiar with Ayreon and the surrounding projects.

Ayreon and maybe Edison's Children are worth looking into also.

a long shot this one, but it's a one-off album, Neo-Prog (despite the label here), partly set off earth, female backing vocals:

Im gonna check that album out, it sounds cool. The album I'm thinking of is not as explicitly a concept album with characters and stuff.
