[Distant Worlds] - Post your send off tune.
- Thread starter Bakerloo
- Start date
Yes it's another 1977 Bowie song! But like so many of his tunes, it was so ahead of its time that it had to travel back almost 4 decades just to make the release date accurate.
For all we know it was really written in 3277. Definitely gives off an appropriate gothic space vampire of cthulu vibe.

So. Many. Options. 
But for the epic scope of it all, Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis fits nicely.
I'm exceedingly hyped for this expedition!

Runner up would include the 90's rave hit Million miles from home by Dune.

There is only one goodbye song as far as I'm concerned.

Well it was going to be something classical as befits Elite, and I called my Asp the Magpie, so...
The Thieving Magpie Overture by Rossini
[video=youtube;_jCfB7JHhjA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jCfB7JHhjA[/video]
But I changed ships at the last minute. So it had to be Rondeau from Guitar Duo in G - Op 34 performed by John Williams and Julian Bream, which, if you are of the original Elite playing age and from the UK, you'll probably recognise from somewhere.

That is a phenomenal track! That was prefaced by JFK's "We chose to go to the Moon" speech at the Houston concert so it's always connected with space travel in my mind.
This is also fitting given the title and "feel" of the track...

I know I already posted my send of tune, but today I will definitely be listening to this as well since it is my de facto song for Elite Dangerous

I named my ship after this song. I will be playing a lot of Floyd during this trip.

I personally really like this track from the Apollo 13 movie (launch scene)
https://youtu.be/Fra-m7RNMrU
And this track from the Armageddon movie (launch scene)
https://youtu.be/SxX6phlbds8?list=RDSxX6phlbds8
Both brilliant, both appropriate.
