I've been on kind of a moon binge lately. It started with watching HBO's excellent series, "From the Earth to the Moon." Then I read "We Reach the Moon," a book written in 1969 by John Noble Wilford, the NYT science reporter.
Next I moved on to the wonderful film, "For All Mankind." It's the story of the men who went to the moon, told in their own words. Beautiful images and of course Eno's remarkable soundtrack, "Apollo : Atmospheres & Soundtracks".
So my head has been stuck on the moon in 1969. And that is the genesis of this mix, 1969. All the music used in this mix is either from 1969, related to the moon or both.
I know it may a bit of a cliche to start with Kennedy's moon speech at Rice University but I love that speech & that part still gives me chills. 11 of the tunes are actually from 1969 :
- Bowie - Space Oddity
- King Crimson - Moonchild
- Miles Davis - Sanctuary
- Pink Floyd - Sysyphus
- Terry Riley - Poppy Noggod
- Genesis - In the Beginning
- Soft Machine - Spaced
- Don Cherry - Man on the Moon
- Philip Glass - Music in Contrary Motion
- Mort Garson - Walking in Space
- Beatles - Across the Universe (covered by Phosphorescent)
