Sci Fi

Sci-Fi music, emerging in the 1960s alongside the space race and a surge in literary futurism, is essentially the soundtrack for those evenings spent pondering the mysteries of life and the likelihood of alien invasion. It often features electronic sounds that can make you feel like you've just stepped off a spaceship or into a particularly avant-garde science exhibition; expect synths, theremins, and the occasional robot vocal. Some reckon it paved the way for today's pop music, proving once and for all that the future of sound is just a touch bizarre and a bit galactic.
