Sorry Seph, I didn’t like this at all. Its jarring. The different arrangements don’t mesh like they are playing the same song and it has a bit of an aimless feel that instrumentals can suffer from when. It reminded me of the menu music you’d hear when playing Mario Kart, but broken. Nintendo trying to do Jazz music but after being hit on the head by a blue shell. I appreciate being sent something I’ve never heard before but this just wasn’t for me.

This is a monster bop of a tune. It’s so catchy, I love it. Reminds me of listening to The GO! Team for the first time. High speed, catchy, you can’t help but move when you listen. It’s been on rotation since I finished my rankings. At some point ill check out the rest of PSB but until then, this has been a great find. And yes EN, the dancing astronauts in the video are brilliant

Zaph/The Eagles/Journey of the Sorcerer
This is it. Sorry, after I heard this it was going to be almost impossible for anything else to top it. Maybe you thought that Zaph, when you read the intro to the sign up thread. I absolutely adore The Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy. I’ve read the books many times, watched the BBC show, listened to the radio show, even enjoyed the updated movie so right from the start this was ahead of the crowd. The intro is perfection. It builds and it builds and I know whats coming but I can’t wait to get there yet at the same time I’m loving the journey. The banjo picks are sublime and when it crashes into that main hook, its so good. So so good. I could listen to it 1000 times and never get bored. It may not make sense to you as a space song unless you’re familiar with THHGTTG, but it is. Congrats Zaph! Wait, is that short for Zaphod?!0 -
So close! But still, whoo-hoo!
Glad you liked it
PSB's second album is The Race For Space, based on actual recordings from the USSR and USA's missions into space and onto the moon, it's an excellent album. This isn't the best song on it but it's the most fun, and the video is awesome
Congrats Zaphy! And damn you
Cheers fixXxer, that's tomorrow's playlist sorted0 -

I’ve never watched Dr. Who. I’ve never seen the appeal from the snippets that I’ve caught over the years, so I have no attachment to it or its music. Having said that, this was a very enjoyable instrumental piece. It has a lovely flow to it, moving along with a purpose. It kinda made me think of a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western in places with the beat. The different layers move together and build to a rousing finish. A very enjoyable listen.
I'm glad you liked it, I did try to pick a piece of music that is good in its own right, without the need for an emotional connection between it and a particular scene
These two were also on my shortlist for potential nominees:

Holy crap, I was not expecting that! I'm a huge Hitch Hikers fan too (my avatar slightly gives that away
), so when I saw the quote in the OP of the sign-up thread there really was only one choice for me. And yes, Zaph is short for Zaphod. Zaphod was taken when I signed up and people often referred to me as Zaph on another site I used before Boards where I was Zaphod, so it seemed logical.
And as an added Hitch Hikers bonus, here's the song we had as the first dance at our wedding
