Space(y) Music?

[Stillkill]

I need some spacish music that would be good to play over my challange submissions. Some kind of classical "beats" that kinda sound like they could be in space.

I have never been really good at choosing music for things but i like this one here (as a sapce song, not personal favorite) : Ascendancy -Dexter Britain (https://soundcloud.com/dexterbritain/ascendancy)

If you have any suggestions, let me know, eh?

Depending on what you are doing in the moment of playing the song: I would say the standard space theme is nice. If you are about to burn up: Richard Wagner Valkyrenritt (Ride of the Valkyrs(I hope it's spelled that way)) 

 

[LostOblivion]

Here's a good one with Spacey music.

I don't wanna be that guy, but there is a lot on, for instance, youtube. Just search for "epic space music". And i only mean that half as a joke, i often play the "Cosmos"-Compilations when i'm playing KSP and do stuff in space.

Also, you can never go wrong with a Hans Zimmer soundtrack.

Obvious answers:

Also Sprach Zarathustra, or just the entire 2001:A Space Odyssey soundtrack

Various Star Trek soundtracks

Kerbal Space Program soundtrack

Gustov Holst - The Planets: https://youtu.be/x9kSrebSlS4

Also, the Tomita version of the same: https://youtu.be/1eLOpBujXM0

Or anything by Tomita really.  Just found out he died in May.  Damn!

Damn near anything from Vangelis, but you may want to check out Albedo 0.39 specifically: https://youtu.be/jwf9bgSeg78

Vangelis also did much of the music used in the original Cosmos series, including the opening music: https://youtu.be/80Lwj_ybVno

For something a little less classical-sounding, try Rush, Cygnus X-1: https://youtu.be/1OMibr8CqQ4

Or pretty much anything from Yes prior to the 1990's: Close to the Edge: https://youtu.be/GNkWac-Nm0A or Tales From Topographic Oceans: https://youtu.be/_rwNe2QXwrU

Jon Anderson (vocalist for Yes and collaborator with Vangelis) Olias of Sunhillow: https://youtu.be/dFLr6OM_hS4

Oh, and Yes also did the end credits music for a game some of you may know - Homeworld: https://youtu.be/R2AhjhYWDUM

Edit: Much of anything from Tangerine Dream would work as well: https://youtu.be/7ndOHPxYGQM

This counts right?

[Silavite]

John Adam's Harmonium definitely has the Space-y ambiance feeling.

Pretty much everything from the CD series Synthesizer Greatest could be what you're looking for. Especially from the first few albums.

[Guest]

The X series has a wealth of such music. My favourite tracks are from the first game, Beyond the Frontier.

Thread moved to the off-topic area, since it's not about the game itself.

ive recently been turned on to vektor, kind of a spacey neo-thrash metal band with a lot of scifi themes. terminal redux utterly blew me away.

then theres arcturus. sort of an advantgarde metal band with some spacey themes on latter albums.

Maybe try something by "orbital", "future sound of london" or "the orb".

Not a "classical" vibe perse, but imho a lot of songs are really spacy.

This is one of my favorites by orbital

More science fiction-y than space-y, but there are some tunes you might like and could use.  Unreal (Tournament):

Thanks you guys. I didn't expect that many responses. Feel free to add more, because some of these are really good. I will be using some of these.

As if the 72 Unreal franchise tunes above, and everyone else's fine tunes above aren't enough:  how's about a music remake by a musician who is not only a gamer, but a space scientist?

Use the player on any of the pages.  For those you may like, you can also download them.

Then there is the original Unreal:

Something different?  From the Half Life franchise:

Here's some M83 for you. Even the name of the band is spacey!

[DDE]

Can't go wrong with anything from the Apollo 13 OST.

[Nuke]
