What music you like to hear while using Celestia!

[Rassilon]

Thanks Paul, I will look for that...

[D.Edwards]

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?

The Future Sound of London - Cascada

from X-MIX 3:
Plasticman - spastic
Plasticman - spaz
Teste - the wipe

[Maakie]

Oxygene works well for me

[slashi]

Delerium, Enigma and other New Age music sound great with Celestia running.

[Insomniac]

Brian Eno's placid ambient stuff works well, esp. for a sense of weightlessness.

Discreet Music
Music for Airports (or should that be spaceports?)
Thursday Afternoon
Neroli

These make really great music accompaniment.

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]...

[Troy]

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.

[NecroBones]

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.

Hi There

I prefer listening to 4hero,
fox

I suppose if I suggest as a Celestia background:

-- J.S. Bach, Toccata, Adagio & Fugue, C- Major
-- Carl Orff, Carmina Burana

I'll turn into an outcast of this community ...

So I prefer to have no music at all...

Bye Fridger

[Cham]

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

Cryosleep

[Toti]

Beethoven's Symphony Nr.6 in F major op.68 "Pastoral"
Schubert's Impromptus Nr.2 in A flat major and Nr.3 in G flat major.

[Michael Kilderry]

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.

Michael Kilderry

[Cham]

Maybe the best music for Celestia is some hardcore punk and heavy metal.

[Michael Kilderry]

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