But it still is not entertaining. Nothing like "the cage" or the one with Spock in a mating mood for example. As a teenager I thought we had been hopeless nerds listening to audio alone. I never thought of a connection between these audio recordings and classic Industrial until I heard about this classic "sample" by the cabs been taken from an Outer Limit episode. The soundtrack to Forbidden Planet is totally unique, outstanding. what I love about the average cheapo sci fi from the fifties is the unrestrained use of organs to create weird atmosphere and sound effects. That is what later made me like various kinds of electronic music rather than ...urgh.. rock. Hmm, thinking about it I probably was a nerd...<br /><br />By the way thanks a lot for your always highly entertaining and enriching comments, Mr Z!<br /><br />Herr AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-51836097804783363032017-07-06T12:58:31.563+02:002017-07-06T12:58:31.563+02:00The way to eden is...Crap????!!!!

Its a classic testament to the misunderstanding of youth movements, especially by the writers who had no clue that they would be laughed at for generations to come.<br /><br />Glad to see that we weren't alone in listening to movie audio only....this is what opened my ears to Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle when everyone else thought they were shite. William Burroughs cut-up tape experiments just seemed normal stuff when i first heard them. The dialogue and accompanying sounds are like an avant garde symphony to these ears.<br />The soundtrack to the Forbidden Planet is, of course rightly recognised as proto-Avant electronica,before the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and before Stockhausen.<br />Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-17000043084375249872017-07-05T22:08:59.542+02:002017-07-05T22:08:59.542+02:00My older brother used to record the audio (pre vid...My older brother used to record the audio (pre video age!) of star trek (dubbed in german)on cassette and we were listening to these recordings again and again. Interesting to find out after forty years that there were other kids who enjoyed doing the same. Without visuals the isolated audio sometimes have a really spooky atmosphere. So lame episodes could improve without images, haha. Probably our first psychedelic experience in childhood? Being a musician our father couldn´t stand music at home (especially anything popular except jazz maybe)so the only music we were listening to until teenage was in fact soundtracks of Scifi and crime shows and movies because that was the stuff we liked most. Still love those old movies like "this island earth", Quatermass, "Forbidden Planet", etc.<br /><br />"The Way To Eden" is crap, definetly an exception to what I just suggested.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-54698286659724144932017-07-03T08:43:53.761+02:002017-07-03T08:43:53.761+02:00When will you ever learn?

The other two were boring as shit with a set list to match. Only ones more bored were the bands themselves it seemed. I will leave it at that. As a pretentious pissant holding up a wet matchbook...
