Last one sounds like Forbidden Planet. Is this a hoax?

This is awesome. It sounds like the stuff I hear on the late night ‘Echoes” radio show.
I suppose these audio recordings are in the public domain since they result from taxpayer funding. It wouldn’t surprise me if some alternative musician used these audio files as the foundation of a ‘New Age’ symphony. Heck, maybe I will....

The fifth one was awesome. wonder if musicians are allowed to sample that stuff. Sounds like something off Pink Floyd or Coldplay.

I was half-expecting one of those YouTube gags, where it says “turn up your volume” and someone flashes a ghost pic and screams at you!

The second recording sounds like it could be an Atari racing game. The last one was very cool. Would make a great sci-fi movie soundtrack.

I like the Triumph 750 revving up gradually or was it a
Norton? ;-)

Glad we’re getting some cosmic music as a return for all that stuff we shot off into the solar system...

In other news, the RIAA is currently suing Saturn for copyright infringement.
