>>49308783
Emerson, Lake, & Palmer and Return to Forever come to mind
This baby.
>>49308808
cool
>>49308806
specific album/s?
>>49308892
I don't remember the ELP album but this is the song I was thinking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLS0Med0s6E
As for RTF, I dont have anything specific. Chic Corea was into scientology and they had kind of a spacey sound. Ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxg1AoEz9p4
You could also argue some YES stuff.
Added Ziggy Stardust

Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy and Brain Salad Surgery
Posting the obvious
set the controls for the heart of the sun
>>49308783
Man... Or Astroman? - Destroy All Astromen!
Although I guess their entire discog would count
I can't remember the name of the project, but former drummer of the grateful dead mickey hart has a band that is taking "sounds" from space and jamming over it. pretty interesting stuff
>>49309204

>>49309232

>>49309241
>>49309258

>>49309299

>>49309304

Here it is so far.
Sadly I have to go right now so we'll pick this up again later. Keep posting and I'll add stuff when I get back
>>49309408
On second thought, Ladies and Gentlemen isn't even that sci fi after all.
>>49309557
That's a terrible background to use. It's way too busy for the text.
>>49308783
What doers that album have to do with outer space?
this kind of counts, i guess. more sci than fi, but it has a futuristic atmosphere.
>>49309605
wow, i didn't even notice the text was there.
the GOAT
Pixies' Bossanova is pretty sci-fi to me, and also Weezer's unreleased Songs From the Black Hole
Galactic Melt is pretty sci-fi in both concept and sound.
This is my kind of thread.
>>49308783
First thing that came to mind.
>>49309773
and this
>>49309801
this too
>>49309852
maybe this?
listening to Flaming Lips for the first time because of /mu/. Thank you. /mu/.
>>49309881
I would say >>49309889 instead, if not both.
>>49309916
These are the sort of people that shouldn't be listening to this music.
just fucking listen to the Tornados. amazing space rock group
>>49310021
post specific album
>>49309994
What? Get the sand out of your ass.
maybe?
Maserati - Maserati VII
this album is the best kind of sci fi
>>49308783
But that album is about cancer?
>>49310325
Like two songs.
Also like two songs are about space.
>>49310371
I don't know, I think the concept is pretty solid if you think of it as such. Granted, the literal theme is science fiction, so that aspect is correct too.
>>49310451
What is the concept? Each song is about something different, unrelated to Yoshimi except for the title track.
Also does this count
>>49310502
Cancer.
I don't remember exactly, but basically;
>Fight Test is a metaphor for a cancer test.
>The pink robots represent cancer, that's why Yoshimi has to be strong to fight them and eat lots of vitamin.
>You're sad in the summertime because the narrator still has cancer.
>Do You Realize that I'm gonna fucking die?
>The man from the future told me straight up.
>>49310690
All of that is wrong. That was some dumb fan how made the claim.
Based on a pnp game.
This is a sci-fi concept album by The Mountain Goats and John Vanderslice about a man who works in a secret government organ harvesting plant on the moon and slowly goes insane from the lack of human contact and becomes a cannibal.
>>49310736
Still holds up.
>>49309994
Wow you're a faggot, hope you go deaf soon
>>49311073
Wayne has literally said that is wrong
>>49311178
>Implying interpretations can be wrong.
>>49311345
>making up random meanings is the correct way to view art
Sure
>>49311428

>The album is set in the near future and is a broadcast by fictional disc jockey "Will 'o the Wisp" during his last night on the air before the U.S. Government takes control of the airwaves. He has vowed to play the one band the American government does not want him to play.
Not sure if this counts as sci-fi but dystopian futures are kind of sci-fi.
AAAAAGOOOOOOONYYYYYYYYYY
>>49311428
wow, please explain the >le objectively better way to view art, dear anon
then go on to tell us how's Introduction to Artistic Studies 101 treating you
>this hasn't been posted
>mfw
This and nearly everything this guy does has a very heavy cyberpunk vibe, and numerous references to Serial Experiments Lain, or a narrative of the sort.
>scifi related album
>no fear factory - demanufacture
Get this in there
