"Behind the Barrier" from Planet P Project's Pink World. Kind of a creepy video. The rest of the album was excellent also. Lots of sci-fi in it. Hear all of Pink World here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNqSNmSx9uI |

Thanks for your contributions! I love the music of Return To Forever, but since they were largely inspired by the bad sci fi of founder L. Ron Hubbard, I find some of their songs to be a stretch. "Vulcan Princess" by Stanley Clarke, although a nice enough little song, has some cloyingly bad lyrics! Vulcan Princess Bold and strong girl Yesterday you and me Vulcan Princess How I loved you Through eternity Vulcan Princess Bold and strong girl Always without fear Vulcan Princess How I loved you Now I am here Edited by cstack3 - May 31 2013 at 17:00 |

Okay.
So how come none of you caught me out: Arkus has nothing to do with sci-fi theme.

Has anyone heard of Jon Anderson's "Zamran Experience"? I just stumbled onto this....remarkable new material! Very much in the vein of "Olias"!

Van der Graaf Generator - "Still Life": Many wouldn't think of this classic VdGG song as sci-fi because it's not about space travelling, etc, but Hammill has described it as a sci fi song in that the lyrics deal with a world where immortality is achieved, and the consequences of what seemed like a good idea (taking away the threat of death). I love the lines
Living through the millions of years A laugh as close as any tear Living, if you claim that all that entails is Breathing, eating, defecating, screwing, drinking, spewing, sleeping, Sinking ever down and down and ultimately passing away time (Which no longer has any meaning) That's some dark, twisted, scary, and funny stuff all at the same time (very Hammill)

woah, really cool! I have to check this guy out! The first two covers remind me of Klaus Schulze's early album covers! Thanks for the recommendation! |

Yes, this is a stellar album! Tony Carey is a hell of a talent. He's released a slew of albums under the banners of prog rock, songcraft and instrumental electronic. Great singer, too. He's disgustingly multi-talented. The song that reeled me in to Pink World is "To Live Forever"...a catchy song, like Genesis-meets-Rush minus Peart's drumming (and Tony sounds nothing like Phil or Geddy, of course). |

Hi,
I'm really concerned with the way this thread is going ... people thinking that something is Sci-Fi, just because it has a title, or a lyric that mentions some person, character or event somewhere, in a book, or tv show. I might as well tell you that I'm from Grugok and Pajkarenia and do not speak your language, and you would not believe me, so why would you believe anyone else ... ohhh yes ... consumerist society ... you see a CD, or album, or book, and that person is automatically annointed with the holy oils! THAT is NOT "sci-fi" and what it was meant to show and express, in the form that something like a handful of films had, or a few writers, like Asimov, and others made you flip ... it was so out there! More than half this stuff listed here is not "sci-fi" at all ... it's just a lyric, but you believe it? Strange! I might look at the old LPs for Hawkwind, like "In Search of Space", "Space Ritual" and "DoReMi" ... and even the stories and art work, was some kind of a culture that was sci-fi related, via Michael Moorcock, but the one album with him, that we mention is the one, where he had the least influence on the material, and was instead replaced with his voice, to make it sound more ... sci-fi ... and he comes off just like Walter Wegmuller did in TaroT for the Cosmic Couriers ... !!!!! If Sci-fi is an extra-ordinary world that we don't know, then, most of the music listed here is the worst example of sci-fi ever ... and it tells me that very few people have EVER, spent any time, actually reading science fiction, and that their idea of this is the comic book versions that appear in the movies! THAT is not "sci-fi" at all ... that's ENTERTAINMENT! Don't insult "sci-fi" and its outstanding literary tradition! Please

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
