space week! celebrating the luna landing and 40 years of possible tomorrows... pt2.

[wytchcroft]

So, the obvious - david bowie space oddity - but this is the original and rarer demo version if you care to listen...

Inspired by the movie 2001 a space oddysey, Bowie's music was actually used by the BBC in covering the landing - i can't begin to imagine what a kick that must have given the young Martian from Bromley...
 

Over to you then dave -

Before Bowie set foot in space (!) however, one band had already boldly gone where only kubrick and clarke had gone before... and weird doesn't begin to cover it...

i hope you enjoyed these:)

Ah you're thinking of the stylophone! A fab retro object d'art these days. :))

No, I saw something once with him talking about the minimoog specifically... I hate the stylophone actually *G* but I can't recall at all when or where I heard him talking about it, so... I got nothing :o)

Damn, I meant Harmonium, not stylophone, my bad.... but I ain't touchin' that teeth comment, man ;oD

LOL! the Harmonium eh? i guess that fits with his Buddhist phase at the end of the 60s.

as for me, my teeth and the stylophone, touch away!
i'm like Hendrix i tell ya! Jimmi Hendrix reborn!...

...only, y'know, not black, american, dead, famous or stupidly talented!^^

It's fun though.
