Free Music Notes for 2001: A Space Odyssey - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1996 Reissue)
Free Music Review: Brings Back the Movie
Hit: 5 Stars
Torcon 3, the 61st World Science Fiction Convention in Toronto in 2003, asked its members to rate the top science-fiction films of the 20th Century. "2001: A Space Odyssey" came out on top. This CD, which contains snippets of dialog as well as the music from the soundtrack, helps the film come alive again.
People used to think of the Blue Danube Waltz as being old-fashioned and stodgy, conjuring up images of ballroom gowns and cavalry uniforms of Old Vienna. Never again. After "2001", it'll always be the perfect music for spaceship docking.
2001: A Space Odyssey - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1996 Reissue) Poster
This commemorative reissue of music from 2001: A Space Odyssey combines the Also sprach Zarathustra theme, various Johann and Richard Strauss segments, and a ballet suite by Aram Khachaturian--all of which prove how much Stanley Kubrick's film attempts to avoid the soundtrack clich?s of most science-fiction movies. Instead of the expected sci-fi effects, there is a more ironic application of music that would be otherwise incongruous to the celestial settings. Here, "The Blue Danube" complements scenes involving weightlessness and descending spacecraft, while Gyorgy Ligeti's creepy "monolith" music connotes Armageddon more than interplanetary exploration. The tracks play as they had appeared on the original soundtrack release back in the '60s, but there is also previously unreleased supplemental material and a dialogue montage entitled "HAL 9000." --Joseph LanzaSoundtracks Music CDs
