What kind of music do you orbinauts listen to?
I grew up listening to what somehow got renamed "classic rock", like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Lynard Skynard, etc. I was a huge Rush fan, and still like them.
Lately I've been really getting into Pink Floyd, collecting the albums and so forth. When I was younger I didn't appreciate the Floyd, I just though of it as boring and depressive, but the more I listen the more I grock it. Wish You Were Here has got to be one of the greatest albums of all time.
And Floyd also basically invented "space music", which evolved when it was picked up and developed by Tangerine Dream and other electronica/ambient artists. I discovered space music when I was a college student and I listened to the University of Pennsylvania's radio station WXPN on Saturday nights from 1AM to 6AM, usually after partying; they have a radio show called "Star's End" which is outstanding. Now I listen to the show via streaming. (www.starsend.org) Space music is basically the perfect Orbiter music for long flight sessions.
