In 1998, shortly after the release of Stratosphere, the band released a 7" titled 'Apex, Trance-Like' on SLR, a small label based out of Miami, Florida at the time. The 7" featured 2 unreleased tracks, 'Four Hours' and 'Light Years'. Shortly after the release of the Duster 7", SLR moved to another city and changed their label name to Skylab Operations.
In addition to the Up Records releases above, Up also released the 'Transmission, Flux" 7" and the '1975' EP.
The band also made a release 'Hier Kommt Der Schwartze Mond', for Marc Bianchi (of Her Space Holiday)'s record label, under the moniker 'Valium Aggelein'. This long out of print record is to receive an electronic re-release, through free download from 'The Static Cult Label', in 2008.
According to the Up Records website: "Duster are currently working together on new songs and planning to record soon, and their line-up has recently expanded to include friends Krag and Ross, who play guitar and bass."
Jason and Dove work together in a band called 'Helvetia', Clay is working on a project called 'Eiafuawn' (Everything Is All Fucked Up And What Not), and has released a CD on 'The Static Cult Label', titled 'Birds in the Ground'. Sweden's 'Pillowscars' label is to release a 12" version in 2008.
according to http://thestaticcult.com/duster/update.html, there is apparently a release called 'On The Dodge', indicated by this link to an mp3 excerpt:
"Meow Meow excerpt (1.05MB mp3)
From 'On the Dodge', I don't remember the real title. Keyboard, drums, guitars. Recorded on cassette four track inside the van we were living in."
On April 13, 2018, Duster posted via their Instagram page that they are “recording a little bit”. Later it was announced that the band's discography would be reissued as the boxset Capsule Losing Contact through The Numero Group, which was released in March 22, 2019. On July 4th, 2019, the band released their first standalone single in almost 20 years "Interstellar Tunnel".
The album Contemporary Movement was re-released on cassette Marts 4th 2022 https://imusic.dk/music/0825764608794/duster-2022-contemporary-movement-kassette and the new album "Together", was released digitally April 1st, 2022 and on vinyl and cassette 23rd of September 2022
Earth Moon Transit
Duster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And cigarettes are fine
I wonder if you think
About me like I do
Of you at night
And who will write the hits
With Bowie back on earth?
It's in the way
Duster's song Earth Moon Transit features lyrics that evoke a sense of longing and introspection. The opening line, "It's dark around me now," sets the mood for the rest of the song as the singer reflects on their thoughts and feelings. Smoking cigarettes becomes an act of comfort for the singer as they contemplate whether the object of their affection thinks of them in the same way. The line "And who will write the hits with Bowie back on earth?" is particularly striking as it touches on the idea of mortality and the inevitable passing of time. Bowie, a legendary musician, passed away in 2016, and his influence on music continues to be felt. The final line, "It's in the way, it's in the way," is a simple but powerful statement that suggests that the answer to the singer's emotional turmoil lies in the way they perceive things.
The lyrics of Earth Moon Transit are open to interpretation, and they can be seen as a meditation on the nature of desire, loss, and love. The singer's preoccupation with whether the person they desire thinks about them suggests that they are not entirely secure in their own feelings. On the other hand, the reference to Bowie's legacy and the passing of time might suggest a sense of existential dread or a desire to make meaningful connections in life. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and a quest for understanding in the face of life's uncertainties.

It's dark around me now
I am surrounded by darkness presently
And cigarettes are fine
Smoking tobacco is tolerable
I wonder if you think
I am unsure whether you contemplate
About me like I do
As I do of you
Of you at night
During the night, thinking about you
And who will write the hits
Who will produce popular music
With Bowie back on earth?
Now that Bowie has returned to life on earth
It's in the way
It is evident in this manner
It's in the way
It is evident in this manner
