Here's some fine work from the Namco sound team. Can't figure out what to use it for.

 

[Shadow Addict]

As far as I can tell, nobody's said this, but I really enjoy the Moody Blues while I fly. To Our Children's Children's Children was actually written because the writers were so awe-stuck by Apollo 11, and the song Higher and Higher off that album is great during ascent.

 

[Q3ark]

I listen to the soundtrack from "in the shadow of the moon". Realy get's me in the mood for some orbital mechanics

 

[Dig Gil]

For me it's "Trainning Montage" from the film Spy Game.
Here's part of the film with that music playing:

Black Sabbath - "Into the Void" and "Planet Caravan" plus Deep Purple "Space Truckin" and "Burn" as Well as Pink Floyd "Echoes", "Astronomy Domain", "Set Your Controls for the Heart of the Sun"

 

[Rocketman527]

I'm honestly surprised that no-one posted Pale Blue Dot by Benn Jordan

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I think electronic and ambient music fit outer space stuff pretty well. I plan on buying this guy's music when I actually have money. He did the soundtrack for Mirror's Edge.

Good stuff, whether you listen to them in Orbiter or just anywhere.

 

[Star Voyager]

A very soothing song is "Suicide is Painless".

I love this beautiful version of the Apollo 13 theme I found:

Launch

I feel it fits the "Cowboy" mood of the infant stage of rocket science we're in.

On-orbit

Didn't read all 7 pages, but here's my contribution. Sorry if they're repeats:

Babble - The Stone
Babble - Ether
(Babble is made up of members of the Thompson Twins)

Just recently grabbed all albums of Muse. Great stuff.
Also just got the soundtrack to Solaris. Can't wait to hear it.

I wonder why Air on G is in the default install.. there's mostly no air in space.. though I get the G part I like this song very much, but it's better performed with only two cello's, imo. The abundance of strings kinda swallow the beauty of the melody.

"30 Seconds to Mars" obviously...

 

[Spicer]

In the 3+ years of playing orbiter, I've never installed orbit sound. I always have Itunes playing in the background. My fav's are Dark Side of the Moon, and anything British Drum and Bass.

 

[JamesG]

I find amusing that your (simulated) priceless spacecraft as a glorified MP3 player. LOL!

 

[Urwumpe]

For Halloween:

Another great Alice Cooper song:

 

[Pipcard]

Enterprising Young Men - Michael Giacchino (Star Trek XI Soundtrack)

I put it in Orbiter Sound.
