  • Great job and a nice video!

  • love yr version...great vid too

  • Please also check out another new version of Telstar, with a great video to go with. TELSTAR by THE DUELLING PINAOS.

  • This is brilliant, and it supports my long-held hypothesis that telstar would be very sad if played in a different key

  • cool

  • this is good audio did u mix the sound or did u find a version that played like this

  • Well thanks.. I played and recorded the whole song from scratch and then cut the video from public domain sixties nasa films.

  • @edmill wow u did good on the stuff i liked it :)

  • Could be just a skoash faster and not so much disco bump beat, but otherwise very cool! especially the video portion Yes I like it!

  • The word is "promotional" and not "propaganda." The Cold War is over. The song is from the 60's, and it is not of "50's innocence." The early 60's were when these type instrumentals came out. The surf bands had to come up with some other sounds to survive. Then, The Beatles arrived and changed music as we knew it. Only The Ventures survived in the U.S. regarding ever having another hit as an instrumental rock band. Theirs was Hawaii 5-O. The Ventures have a great website and new music.

  • Well... I was around(and playing music) in the fifties and sixties, but thanks for the history lesson...I guess:)

  • it's okay in a strange way

  • Where would I be able to see some of this film?

  • parabens!!! ficou muito BOM!!!!. gosto muito dessa musica. que TBM conheço com The Ventures.sua versão esta OK!

  • very nice!

  • this is a really nice song i havent herd of it but its really good!

  • Thanks Ed, this is excellent! What a blast from the past!

  • Better than some versions I have heard on here and I play piano. Nice interpretation. Different key and slow rhthym but at least you got them matched up - which is hard, when the original was at about 150 ~ 160 BPS. On the original, notice the keybord player uses F#. This would make the key Bb - without any transposition.

  • OMG the first ten seconds are interesting but give the rest a pacemaker. TELSTAR was a vibrant exciting piece.

  • If only Joe Meek had had a Yamaha (not)

  • The original captures the spirit

    of endless oppertuneties .

  • MUITO BOM, MAS o que é isso::??

  • É minha própria versão de uma canção grande escrita pelo circa 1962 de Joe Meek.

  • This is one of my all time favorite YouTube videos. Captures the same wonder of outer space as did Kubrik's 2001.

  • Great! Nice! :)

  • Very nice new version of this old song

  • Did you know that some Catholic liturgists added sacred lyrics to it during the heyday of Vatican II reforms to make the mass attractive to youths? What were they thinking? The piece used to be a staple in "combo" parties in the days when a lot of high school classes had a electric guitar and drums band of their own

  • I've heard some of the lyrics. Better to keep it instrumental:) Thanks for listening!!!!!

  • Not had I been listening to it, I filed it in two of my playlists - Heavenly Bodies and '60s music.

  • Typo there. I meant "Not only had I been listening to it..." Now I have included it in my sci-fi themes playlist as well.

  • Telstar 21st century style Fantastic !

  • As my boss likes to say, "Ya done good!"

  • DUUUUUUDE

  • wow - who needs drugs??

  • Nice version of the best song ever.

  • Wow. Really brilliant. Uplifting, in an odd way.

  • can I get an mp3 of this song? it's pretty sweet.

  • Thanks nightheat! You can download it from myspace my page is Sintetizador. I think there is also a link to my myspace somewhere on my youtube profile, Thanks again!

  • try going to limewire.

  • I love this tune, I'm hooked. FAVOURITEDED

  • This is simply amazing! It is a true stroke of genius how you were able to combine these sterile NASA images and choreograph it to this song in such a way to make it just pulse with emotion. Awesome, just plain awesome.

  • Ed, I save everything you do to my favorites. You're a freakin' genius! And I'm as envious as all Hell.

  • One of my favorite tunes, and your video mix has the perfect 50's innocence. Your sound work is outstanding!

  • Beautiful job, Ed. Just wondering, whose version of TELSTAR is on the soundtrack? . . . Mike

  • That's just "little ole me" and a few synthesizers. I believe that Telstar is written by Joe Meek but has passed into public domain.
