Sci-fi inspired music

Post by nebagram »

Basically, I'm starting a topic to show off the fact that I went on the internet and I found this. And would like to know if you good folk have any similar recommendations.

That one was interesting! I did a quick search and didn't find anything really relevant.

I did find a video of -- I am not making this up -- a cat playing with a theremin. Because internet.

Vigil From the First Mass Effect game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AURrosz7CxY

End Run From Mass Effect 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCk4RiKH9H0

Origa from Ghost in the Shell" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rFW2Df5iRs

and my favorite Living inside the Shell also from GITS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeBiD71EJN4

Whenever I'm feeling a little sedate....or in a cyber punk mood I play Living Inside the Shell...it just calms me.

How about going the other direction: music that inspired a lot of sci-fi?

Something from Space Battleship Yamato 2199

Honestly, anything from Ergo Proxy, but this is one of my favorites from it

The soundtrack to the game Stellaris is pretty good. At times some very clear references to Vangelis and Mike Oldfield (entirely deliberate according to an interview with the composer).
