BiTrektual is the ninth studio album by Cuban American dark cabaret singer Aurelio Voltaire, released on September 2, 2012. It is a concept album containing songs parodying the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises – Voltaire is a fan of both. It also contains a Doctor Who-related song, "It's Bigger on the Inside". The album's title is intended to be a pun on the word "bisexual".
"The Trouble with Tribbles" excepted, all the Star Trek-related songs were previously featured on Voltaire's currently out-of-print 2001
Voltaire also made a contest on which fans would design the BiTrektual logo and cover art; the winner was eventually revealed to be artist Shamine King.[1]
The cover features Voltaire dressed like Obi-Wan Kenobi kissing Hikaru Sulu.
