Comment:

Pink Floyd drifts along in a zero-g groove in a spacey, haunting "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" from [i]A Saucerful of Secrets[/i]; a few years later, their return to outer space, [i]Dark Side of the Moon[/i], would become the longest-charting album in rock history. Little did we know that a Plymouth Satellite could break 75 m.p.h., let alone light speed, but the B-52's put their new wave pedal right [i]through[/i] the metal in "Planet Claire," its synths squawking like R2-D2 on overdrive. And Richard Strauss' "Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zoroaster), tone poem for orchestra, Op. 30 (Main Title)" majestically launches director Stanley Kubrick's voyage of intergalactic discovery in the movie version of Arthur C. Clarke's [i]2001: A Space Odyssey[/i].
