Forbidden Planet: Original MGM Soundtrack

From the link:
Quote:
Louis and Bebe Barron created nearly every sound on the 23 selections electronically-which was unheard of during a time when most movie scores were entirely orchestral. In fact, this was so groundbreaking that they made their own synthesizers!


The Day the Earth Stood Still

Star Wars: A New Hope

By the great John Williams!

My favorite is a composition that was written 100 years ago, but is as fresh and influential as ever today. The masterpiece by Gustav Holst, The Planets. The Chicago symphony does an incredible job here.

And, Manny, if you like Intersetllar, please listen to Sun by Thomas Bergensen (Two Steps from Hell). Just an inspiring, amazing work!
Thanks a miilion, John ...

Pink Floyd: Moonhead  
Cruzin : 5/25/2016 8:22 am : link
(From July 21st, 2009)

Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11's landing on the moon. If you were alive on July 20, 1969, you were likely doing one of two things: Watching astronaut Neil Armstrong's historic giant leap for mankind, or packing for Woodstock. Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour also watched the lunar landing on July 20th, but recently wrote in The Guardian that he and his bandmates were live-soundtracking the event for the BBC. The resulting jam was called "Moonhead," a song that has frequently popped up on Floyd bootlegs throughout the years but never officially released.

There's lots of great artists,

many of them German, that pretty much only create(d) semi-ambient space music.

Start with (early 70s) Tangerine Dream, and Klaus Schulze. Two of the greats.

I always loved the music from Close Encounters of the Third Kind! I must have listened to the record a million times as a kid. I know it's goofy, but I even like the disco version!

Very good.

Another interesting music is Ex Machina

I got into this kind of music when I visited in Santiago Chile a couple of years ago, (listening to Radio El Conquistador) . The interest in Space is very big down there because of the significant presence all the observatories

Space Music is a genre?

And it includes Johann Strauss?
There is no music in space.

Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum.
Genre' here is an adopted form.

2001 is full of symphonic music, true, but in many ways it inspired some very exciting music, which was enjoyed by many in several space themed movies.

There IS music in space, but it lies beyond the range of human hearing, as is explained in the following article .....
