Four new tracks from Justice — four movements of a piece called Planisphère — have been posted to the duo’s Myspace page and leaked as high-quality MP3s. An earlier version of Planisphère premiered this summer as a piece produced for the Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2009 fashion show.
The word Planisphère exists in French and English. It’s broadest meaning is “the projection of a sphere (or part thereof) onto a plane.” In cartography, it refers to a map like the one above.

In astronomy, perhaps only in English, the word usually specifically “refers to a simple device which consists of a pair of concentric discs, one of which has part of the celestial sphere projected onto it, the other of which has a window representing the horizon. Scales about the perimeters of the discs allow it to be set to show the sky at specific times and dates, enabling its use as a simple and convenient aid to location of objects.” Wikipedia says “The astrolabe is a predecessor of the modern planisphere. That instrument was known to the ancient Greeks.”

In other Justice news, earlier today, TheMusic.FM was the first publication to announce that Justice has planned five North American DJ dates. Busy P joins them for three of the dates.
