What music you like to hear while using Celestia!
RE: Holst
Hey Ras,
If you want to here Holst the Planets before you buy I can make up a few MP3s with short selections from each peice of music. That way you get an idea of what the music is like. It wouldn't be a full rip. Just maybe 2 minutes of each track. If your interested let me know and I will cut them and put them up on my iDisk.
I might as well get some use of the iDisk since Apple is going to close it out on September 30 if I don't join .Mac and pay $50 for a years membership. They just lost a customer as far as I am concerned. I will never buy anything from Apple again. Anyone want an iMac real cheap?

Try anything from he radio-series `Hearts of Space` (i.e. `Arctic`, `Deep Peace`) or `Chronos` by Michael Stearns, `Mythodea` by Vangelis (already mentioned, but it is so good...), `Harmonic Ascendant` by Robert Schroeder, everything from Oceanic and Cosmic Embracement/Electric Universe (=very excellent!!) [find those 2 at mp3.com]...

Paul wrote:If I'm out among the stars and galaxies, nothing seems more appropriate than "Neptune, The Mystic" from "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. Quiet, eerie, mysterious and beautiful. A lot like the Universe, really.
My selection exactly!!! I love Neptune, The Mystic ( listening to it right now ), but I'll listen to the rest of the suite as well.
Of course, Christopher Franke's B5 score would be great too, as well as the Blue Danube.
It would be interesting to have an option to activate music when you visit various bodies. You could then assign each song of Holst's to thier respective planets. If a body doesn't have a song, it gets the body's parent's music.
My choices...
My choices include, but are not limited to:
Klemania - Christopher Franke
London Concert - Christopher Franke (one of my favorites for this)
Cosmos soundtrack (as in Carl Sagan's old Cosmos series) [out of print]
Symphonies of the Planets (produced by Laserlight. Consists of NASA Voyager recordings, rather than music) [out of print] Surprised no one mentioned this one... it's perfect for this.
Tangerine Dream:
Luminous Visions (CD comes with the DVD), Logos, Architecture in Motion, Canyon Dreams, Underwater Sunlight, Turn of the Tides.
-Bones.

Hey Fridger,
you should listen to the Morimur J. S. Bach Partita D Minor BWV 1004 (solo for violin), from Christoph Poppen and the Hilliard Ensemble. It's awesome !
Code : ECM New Series 1765
461 895-2

I don't actually play music on my computer while I'm doing stuff in Celestia, but the type of music I think would suit Celestia is Techno and modern Dance music, with a bit of classical mixed in here and there.

I think what music suits Celestia is all a matter of personal opinion, I personally would NOT like Heavy Metal Music in Celestia.
