Someone asked what were some good scifi-themed tunes to play:<\/p>\n
Space Invaders are Smoking Grass<\/a>. Accept no substitutes.<\/p>\n Welcome to the Discotheque<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cut the Midrange, Drop the Bass<\/a>.<\/p>\n Power Pill Pacman<\/a> and Humanoid Must Not Escape<\/a> (early Aphex Twin tracks). Aphex also did a Star Wars Theme remix, but so has everyone else<\/a> and their dog. Speaking of which, Mike Paradinas released some “Bantha Trax” as the Tusken Raiders<\/a> until Lucas sued.<\/p>\n And my favourite novelty scifi album: The Orbital version of the Doctor Who theme<\/a>. Mixed in with the KLF’s Doctorin’ the Tardis<\/a> is probably A Good Idea.<\/p>\n Finally, there’s the incomparable Mihon<\/a>, by “Ongaku<\/a>” (AKA Macias, Heiko Schfer & Uwe Schmidt, recording these days as Ata, Atom Heart, M\/S\/O) from 1992. A sublime, classic early dark German trance record where practically every single sound is composed of samples from the original Star Trek <\/strong>series. You know, the doors, the teleporter, the comms, sensors, sickbay monitors, the shield, occasional phasers. Brilliant<\/em>, funny stuff. Drop this one at a party with anyone over 30 and they get this weird, baffled look on their faces until they realise what’s going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Someone asked what were some good scifi-themed tunes to play: Space Invaders are Smoking Grass.
