My music for exploration however...

...is by Stars of the Lid.

Stars of the Lid is a drone-based ambient music duo, comprising Brian McBride and Adam Wiltzie. The duo formed in Austin, Texas in 1993 and they list among their influences minimalist and electronic composers such as Arvo Pärt, Zbigniew Preisner, Gavin Bryars, and Henryk Górecki, as well as Talk Talk, post-rock artists Labradford, and ambient innovator Brian Eno. Their compositions are largely beatless soundscapes, composed of droning, effects-treated guitars along with piano, strings, and horns; volume swells and feedback fill the gap of rhythmic instruments, providing dynamic movement. Their sound has been described as "divine, classical drone without the tedious intrusion of drums or vocals

It's defo not the M83 Galaxy, as she is a barred spiral galaxy. I thought it looked like a specially rendered shot of the hourglass nebula at first, but the shapes dont match.

Would be wonderful to have this kind of thread. I wouldn't want to limit to any one type of music, the links so far have been great.

(maybe a mod would be kind enough to change the thread title to 'Music for Explorers'?' or something more general?) (if a similar thread doesn't already exist)

Ok thanks Ekar!
So this is a well known one too. But its a super extendet version which follows you over a 25 minutes throgh the galaxy... (Ok! its actually a compilation of four different interpretations of the
composition) And this movie was so well done, except the horror part :)
