A-T-2 385 Dope Library Music With A Space Theme
Holst's suite The Planets written as what the composer described as "a series of mood pictures" (in a music lesson at school we were told to close our eyes listen to this piece of music and let images appear infant of our eyes) I'd argue it was very influential in the development of space music. Mainstream public interest interest in space travel is believed to have come from a Soviet youth magazine published October 2nd 1951 which outlined how two men might fly to the moon and back, thus kickstarting the Soviet lunar programme. This is published in the US and the space race is born. The Space Shuttle era begins in 1981
John Cage composes Imaginary Landscapes No.1 in 1939. In the 1950s with the onset of the space race there was a boom in space films. The film Forbidden Planet came out in 1956, it's soundtrack was made entirely electronically (reportedly to get out of paying musicians and union rates), this helped solidify a connection between space and synths. Electronic music is considered to be futuristic in nature, and in the 1950s it was (in 2022 watching films set hundreds of years in the future but they're still dancing to 1990s electronic dance music is a bit of a joke.) In 1963 Doctor Who appeared on UK television screens with it's electronic theme music realised by Delia Derbyshire using musique concrète tequniques. Like with the John Cage piece I mentioned the sounds electronics can produce often sound alien, sound can be manipulated way beyond what a musician playing wind, strings, percussion, or a voice can do. In that way these sounds might be considered futuristic or even emanating from outer space. Electronic instruments also seem more scientific, it's often called tech, closer to computer laboratories and rocket controls than pianos, saxophones, drums, or guitars
We tell stories about space. Star Wars ushers in a renaissance of space fiction and it remains popular to this day. Ridley Scott's second space film Bladerunner comes out in 1982, which has one of my favourite soundtracks
Space library records are popular with fans of electronica and they usually have great sleeve artwork. That space library albums have a funky beat makes no sense at all, there's nothing particularly spacey about drum breaks, still I am drawn to them
Gaston Borreani recording under the name Galaxy for De Wolfe
Galaxy - Jupiter

Again for De Wolfe Unit 9 who did two space titled albums Delta and Over The Moon. Also check Fission Chips from Over The Moon and Omicron (before it was the name of a covid19 variant and we believed in progress and the future, ah! innocent times) from Delta
Unit 9 - Pi

Earforce Band - Sky Racer brilliant German one off for UBM Records. Bassist Dieter Petereit and drummer Willy Ketzer were both in the fusion band Passport. Space is big enough from harpsichord
youtube
Roger's New Conception - Expectation from the album Infomatic 2000. Roger Roger & Nino Nardini sounding like something from the 1960s or 70s. Sleeve artwork is nicked from the CTI album Moon Germs by Joe Farrell and isn't a million miles away from the sleeve for China Crisis' debut album designed by Peter Saville Associates. Anyway, beats

Christian Chevalier - Strange Pop from the album Christian Chevalier & Alan Feanch - Space Résonance. Alan Feanch followed up with sister album Flash Résonance: Space Dream

The Death of Chevalier Bayard by Benjamin West
This episode tells of Pierre Terrail, Chevalier de Bayard, who served three French Kings and was shot from an arquebus on 30 April 1524. The dying Chevalier is lying, propped up against a tree with his defeated adversaries coming to pay their respects and his mounted comrade apparently telling everyone to make less noise, which seems a strange instruction on a battle-field. The dying man was said to have recited his ‘Miserere’ (‘Lord have mercy on me’) holding his sword; in Wests’s painting the hilt acts as a perfect cross, the appropriate emblem for a Christian warrior.

The one thing I have a lot of personal, PERSONAL beef with about the entire Solas/Elvhen vs. City Elves/Dalish thing is simple: a lot of people in this fandom keep ignoring that this is one huge allegory for generational trauma and colonialism. Including Solas.
Maybe it hits home harder with me, especially because the real world inspirations the writers admit to using are Natives. And boy, I see the bones that make up the Dalish are absolutely Native-coded.
Constantly hunted? Constantly looked down upon for trying to keep to their traditions, even if the memories aren't as complete as they once were? Their very positive views on magic and the spiritual that run counter to common belief? Their religion is outlawed by the DA equivalent of the Christian church? The illegal verses of the Chant speaking about Chartan? The facial tattoos, the traveling camps, their attention to raising wild breeds of painted horses (the famed Dalish All-Bred in DA:I), the harts, following the migrations of the halla?
And then factor in the City Elf vs. Dalish experience. It reflects a lot of the same issues we have now. "City Indians" vs. "Rez Indians." The arguments about blood-quantum parallel a lot with the "elf-blooded" shit in DA. They don't have the ears, but they were raised like an elf! It reminds me of a very small dialogue in The Masked Empire between Fiona and Michel de Chevin, where Fiona immediately clocked him as half-elf because he never treated her poorly or called her slurs and subconsciously ducked his head slightly in doorways like he expected to bump his head in an alienage shack. Michel clings to his Chevalier code desperately, because if anyone found out he was half-elf, he'd be tossed back into the Alienages. It's peak "You're mixed but you can pass as white" coding in my eyes.
So then Solas rolls up, shitting on all the existing elves, calling them "children" and decrying them as idiots clinging to barely-remembered bits of history.... Good God, you ass. Like, I get it. I'm sure if one of my ancestors appeared before me and saw what has become of our people, they'd be horrified. But idk, there is also pride to be had in resisting and enduring and outlasting every government's attempt to erase what they see as a subpar culture.
When he asks "Did I judge the Dalish too harshly?" I always wanna just reach through the screen and go "YEAH ACTUALLY"

Chevalier, Mult Estes Guariz - French Crusade Song This one is in old french, and was written when Edessa fell, outraging the Christian world. Lyrics:
Chevalier, mult estes guariz quant Deu a vus fait sa clamur des Turs e des Amoraviz ki li unt fait tels deshenors, cher a tort unt cez fieuz saisiz! Bien en devums aveir dolur, cher la fud Deu primes servi e reconuu pur segnuur. Ki ore irat od Loovis ja mar d’Enfern n’avarat pouur, char s’alme en iert en Pareïs od les angles nostre Segnor. Pris est Rohais, ben le savez, dunt Chrestïens sunt esmaïz, les mustiers ars e desertez, Deus n’i est mais sacrifïez. Chivalers, cher vus purpensez? Vus, ki d’armes estes preisez, a Celui voz cors presentez ki pur vus fut en cruiz drecez! Ki ore irat od Loovis ja mar d’Enfern n’avarat pouur, char s’alme en iert en Pareïs od les angles nostre Segnor. Pernez essample a Lodevis ki plus ad que vus n’avez: riches reis e poëstiz, sur tuz altres est curunez. Deguerpit ad e vair e gris, chastels e viles e citez, il est turnez a Icelui ki pur nus fut en croiz penet. Ki ore irat od Loovis ja mar d’Enfern n’avarat pouur, char s’alme en iert en Pareïs od les angles nostre Segnor. Deus livrat sun cors a Judeus pur metre nus fors de prisun, plaies li firent en cinc lieus que mort suffrit e passïun. Ore vus mande que Chaneleus e la gent Sanguin, li felun, mult li unt fait des vilains jeus. Ore lur rendez lur guerredum! Ki ore irat od Loovis ja mar d’Enfern n’avarat pouur, char s’alme en iert en Pareïs od les angles nostre Segnor. Le Filz Deus al Creatur a Rohais estre ad mis un jorn. La serunt salf li pecceür! Ki bien ferrunt pur s’amur, irunt en cel besoin servir pur la vengance Deu furnir. Ki ore irat od Loovis ja mar d’Enfern n’avarat pouur, char s’alme en iert en Pareïs od les angles nostre Segnor. Alum conquere Moïses ki gist el munt de Sinaï! A Saragins ne·l laisum mais, ne la verge dunt il partid la Roge Mer tut ad un fais, quant le grant Pople le seguit, e Pharaon revint aprof
