Spotify Finds: We Chose To Go To The Moon



The Apollo Missions: The actual capcom audio between the astronauts and mission control, its simply existence, the ability to speak from space back to the Earth a stunning achievement in and of itself. The Spotify audience find the Apollo 13 mission of the most interest, probably to see how accurate Tom Hanks's performance was. In case you're wondering, this is the track you're looking for: "Houston, we have a problem..."




Apollo -- Brian Eno: One of the two albums which made up the main soundtrack for the lunar documentary, For All Mankind (the other was Music For Films III which isn't yet on Spotify). The kind of sound which should only be listened to at midnight when you can let it wrap itself around you and consume your being. Perhaps most famous for the track An Ending (Ascent), the transcendatal tone poem which has been used in innumerable other documentaries as well as the films Clean, 28 Days Later and Traffic. You'll know it when you hear it.
