56 Miles North of Pluto

56 Miles North of Pluto is the eighth studio album by Hop-Scotch, released on May 27, 1990 under Interscope. It is the band's first double album, with a concept influenced by space travel.

According to Tommy Zion, the point of the album was 'to broaden our horizons slightly. We figured that playing the same music each time wouldn't be fun. So, we thought of an epic double album. All of our styles. There's some punk in there, some new wave, some all-out weirdness, I think we had some influences from 60s psychedelia... not to mention it's in space.' He also called it, '30 songs that make you think'.

The band released six singles from the album, all of which became fixtures on college radio, like for Channel 69. This album is their second-highest selling album, after Y2K, and spawned their biggest Lovian hit, People Like Me, which reached #6. The total length of the two discs is 109:17.
