When I was in high school one of my favorite albums was Black Noise by an obscure progressive rock band called FM. The album consisted of science-fiction themed songs, and was heavy with the use synthesizers and weird instruments like the electric mandolin. The songs had titles like "Phasers on Stun" "Dialing for Dharma", "Aldebaran", "Massacre in Robot Village", and the like. Despite the seeming hokeyness, it was surprisingly good stuff. When I run across it now, I still like it. I guess part of me is still that 16 year old boy reading Clarke and Heinlein and dreaming of space.
