The title says it all. I only know 2 Sci-Fi theme songs, so I won't participate in this.

I'd have to say Star Wars.

Andromeda is campy rehashed
ST has one song going for it otherwise is rehases of that
SW has some nice Instrmentlas
However the best is not pure Sci-Fi, its also Animia, Name?
Cowboy Beboop
Some of the more intresting Songs, contanted there in
Tank
Rush
Piano Black
Spy
Jump
Waltze for Mars
Memeorys

If you have any file sharing programs just set it as Cowboy beboop and leave it on auido only you can find em
Very nice works and each is scripted into every show near, no totaly perfeclty

Don't want to spend the Money watch the First Epsoide and see how Rush is tied into a fight scean and you'll see how Songs can realy work with a show or movie

I'll second Mr. Bean's nomination of Cowboy Bebop's music; it's used quite effectively in the series, and nearly all of Yoko Kanno's scores are brilliant. However, most of the music in Bebop leans towards jazz and blues, which may not agree with some people.

There acutal is some Organ music in there too

But then agian the shows Called Cowboy Beboop so what did you expect Heavy Metal?(Yes there is Heavy Metal in Cowboy Bebop too)

I just watched that fight agian, Rush realy brings it alive

(Watch it if you can, First Espodie of CBB towards the end)

Transformer: The Movie soundtrack

Best. Soundtrack. Ever.

More specifically Instruments of Destruction by N.R.G.

If you classify the Final Fantasy series in science fiction, I'd say that's some outstanding music.

But, Star Wars music is still the best.

Star Wars #1, with Godzilla a close second (:D)

Oh, I absolutely agree. Cowboy Bebop has by far some of the best music I've ever heard. One of my personal favorites is Jupiter Jazz...I think that's the title. It's the one used after Jupiter Jazz part II, the one that the music from the Windtalkers trailer sounds kind of like.

Aside from the obvious Star Wars, I love the music for the Back to the Future movies. I'm not sure if it's John Williams, but it's still very nice.

That it was. I like the song they play during the credits. I don't know the title to it though.

Well, the beginning credits is Tank, and the end is The Real Folk Blues.

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2002-07-14 03:44pm

Indeed it is
I double checked

David · Post by **David** » 2002-07-14 09:45pm

The Real Folk Blues is the best.

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2002-07-14 10:47pm

Acutal I'm parital now that I've heard it a few times to the Church Music in Esp 7 and of course the fall music afterwards
I don't think I've SEEN a piece of music better fit a scean and a mood like that in my life(The Fall music that is)

Master of Ossus · Post by **Master of Ossus** » 2002-07-16 07:20pm

Star Wars for the Imperial March, Star Wars theme, Across the Stars, and Duel of Fates.

A distant second might be B5?

Babylon 5.

By. Far.

GreenZXZ · Post by **GreenZXZ** » 2002-07-18 03:58pm

Well, I'm preferential to a few songs from Cowboy Bebop (since it is the best soundtrack to a SERIES as opposed to a movie):

Endings song, The Real Folk Blues

Falling song, Green Bird (sung in a language created by Yoko Kanno(sp?) no less).

Series end song, Blue.

Plus, they're done by a band called the Seatbelts!

Movies wise, of course it's Imperial March.

Another case where a Yoko Kanno-created language shows up is in the Escaflowne movie song Sóra -- both sets of lyrics were written ultimately by someone named Gabriela Robin, and rumor is that its just another pseudonym used by Yoko Kanno herself. I would think that it would be sort of redundant to give two different names for lyrics and composition on the same song, though, so this is unlikely. Those two tend to work closely in nearly all of Kanno's projects, though.
While you all probably know this already, some other series composed by Yoko Kanno are Macross Plus, Vision of Escaflowne, and Turn-A Gundam, should you wish to get a better picture of her style. Most of these tend to more orchestral stuff than in Bebop, but still retains her very distinct style.

Cowboy Beebop definately has some of the best music for new sci-fi, though Farscape has some pretty cool music, too. As for old school sci-fi, I'd say Doctor Who has the best opening theme. I'll have to disagree about the best movie music; for me, it's a tossup between Star Wars and Blade Runner.
