Imperial Starfleet Deployed to the City in the Little Fluffly Cloudscape Above

  • 项目

iTunes, how i love thee.

Did a search for “clouds” and instantaneously got back:

Cloudscape - Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi 
Imperial Starfleet Deployed/City in the Clouds - John Williams /London Symphony Orchestra - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Little Fluffy Clouds - The Orb
Take Me To The Clouds Above - Lmc Vs U2

I have to say, it was certainly one of those most interesting 23 minutes of music I've ever listened to.

(Oh, and the visualizer roxdabox)

    I love Itunes too! It is much better than Windows Media Player.

    Yeah: Just wish Quicktime and the windows media frameworks worked together. I hate how WMP doesn't play Quicktime files and how iTunes doesn't play WMA files.

    Sigh...

    I'm a bit disappointed. I installed iTunes cause I expected to find the mentioned songs - only the Star Wars and Cloudscape songs are found. I suppose they have several servers and if you live in X you can't get Y.

    Wow..Koyaanisqatsi !

    Definitely an acquired taste, but once you've watched the film (no actors or dialog..the "script" is defined with time-lapse photography, etc) the music is very enjoyable....(heh, take that to mean whatever you like ;-) )

    I haven't lilstened to that for ages..must root that out, along with the soundtrack to the second in the trilogy, Powaqqatsi.
    Cyrus, if you get the chance, and you liked Cloudscape, get your hands on Powaqqatsi...oh and whilst you're at it, Mishima.

    Those are pretty well the defining pieces for Philip Glass (for me anyway)

    The male voice asking the question at the beginning of LFC is Levar Burton, of Star Trek:TNG fame...

    From http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/orb/bio.jhtml

    "The single appeared in November 1990, sparking the wrath of the sampled Rickie Lee Jones, whose dialogue with Levar Burton -- from the PBS-TV children's program Reading Rainbow -- was sampled for the chorus and title of the track; Big Life later settled out of court for an undisclosed sum."

    Levar Burton (Geordie) was also in the video to Word Up by Cameo !
    I nearly spat my coffee out when I saw that video and recognised him :-)
