Songs of a Distant Earth Part 1 of 7 - Evolution

[EightOneGulf]

The circles represent the powers of 10. Each circle is 10 times larger as the previous one, to give an idea of the massiveness of the universe.

[TalkinXbox]

It's not Michael Sterns. It's Mike Oldfield, of Tubular Bells fame.

[zainkamoi]

@TalkinXbox Nope, Michael Sterns it is... However, we are a little bit late, this discussion, of who the composer is, was settled a long time ago ;)

[zainkamoi]

@TalkinXbox One more thing. I have been through Mikes discography. This masterpiece is not there!

[Viz731]

That was beautiful...How ever God made the Earth...he made it good.

[ah4fecksake]

Outstanding video!! wish I was stoned to really get into it,haha.Eh but then again,thats why I stopped!

[keahende]

why the circles?

[TheTark]

@keahende From an earlier response - "The "rings" were in the video I used for this section. No explanation was given for them. My interpretation was that each "ring" represented a relative "system" - from planetary system to solar system to galactic region to galaxy to local cluster .... etc. I suppose it is open to however you want to interpret it." Thanks for your question.

[keahende]

why the circles?

[Ariashal]

Oh! Cosmic Journey. I loved the film. There wasn't much I learned from it, but it helped give a sense of perspective.

Excellent music.

[Masterkanguro]

Nice theme but, the song its incorrect; those songs are from a dvd called Chronos, but it does not matter its ok you got 5 stars

[toviewornotoview]

Actually, What's mis-labeled as part 1 of 7 of Mike Oldfield's Distant Earth is indeed the work of Micheal Stearns. Chronos is the name of both the soundtrack and the visuals that are seen. It was originally produced for IMAX presentation. We're fortunate because its on both VHS and DVD.

this is way too similar to pink floyds live from pompeii...at least at the 5:00 mark

[psymaan1]

I don't understand the comment of "Dropzink" - this video (music and images) is ethereal and inspirational. Well done. Curiously, Dropzink criticises insufficient use of synthesizers. Odd - given that the music is synthesized - but further, on what basis does Dropzink think synthesizers are somehow more appropriate to space? Is Dropzink a space traveler commenting from experience - or just someone who didn't think before criticising?

[themachinegunn]

in his defense, he sounds like a real space cadet.

[calaulla]

He visto los 7 vídeos seguidos y me han encantado. Perfecta combinación entre imágenes y música.

Muchas gracias.

[EarthMuffinHugs]

Absolutely beautiful..... Wow!

[scientificboysclub]

Wow really awesome thanks for sending !!!

[goddesslush]

Calmly.. drifts of to sleep...

[SpartanChic117]

this is such a cool video, i love the music.

[Dropzink]

Sorry but, in my opinion this song doesn't fits with space, only with the Earth. I think it needs more use of synthesizers.

[cyberspy034]

plz post high qlty vids.

[egbert1985]

Great combination with the music. I'm really enjoying it.

Where can I see the High-quality version of this?

[eliteobserver]

[vaxxon1]

Cheers, Tark! This music is amongst my favorite in my collection. I bought the soundtrack to Chronos(on LP no less!) the day after I saw the film in Balboa Park, San Diego back in 1985. Great visuals but I felt that it was the music that made the difference. Brilliant stuff! BTW, I still have this LP stowed away till I buy a new record player.

[Steven2love]

A beautiful journey... enjoyed it very much.

[freacls]

Kind regards,

Vanesa

[driverfl]

this music makes me feel like there is something more than ordinary humdrum, it is very ethereal

[MathiesStephensen]

This video is amazing! That's all i can say!

[ObeeLektro]

Please lets give the credit to the master creator of this music. His name is Michael Stearns who composes mainly for IMAX and special genera of film like movie BARAKA. I had a privilege to communicate with him for a short while as a composer my self. Cheers

[TheTark]

Thank you for this posting. I don't think I could give him more credit. The only credit I personally should receive is for the video editing of the film. I love this and other music by him. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a way to communicate directly with him, or I would have. Thanks.

[aupdr]

la musique des sphères....

[ghuuus]

fantastico, genial, obra de arte

[Bizzarrr]

I'm desperatly trying to find documentaries of space, do some of you have a site where i can find those for free?

[KitPandorius]

The rings Represents a distance of one meter to the power of 10, I think. dont take it for sure. I remeber this clip from a documentary.

[ozzmandozz]

What do the rings represent?

[TheTark]

The "rings" were in the video I used for this section. No explanation was given for them. My interpretation was that each "ring" represented a relative "system" - from planetary system to solar system to galactic region to galaxy to local cluster .... etc. I suppose it is open to however you want to interpret it.

[zzfinance]

with the ring you can better understand the relative distance in this magnificent universe and feel the dimensions.

[zzfinance]

Also I think the rings are 最基本之定律 the most fundamental law in universe, from the newest theory of "cycled big band " to vibration of micro particles, from geometry measure to life cycles.

[Zidanos]

Good job...

[JamesF63]

Captivating and majestical (5 stars)

[ruckels]

if you like this, and want more of this sort of space music, go to the deepspacehome(dot)com website. full album streaming. it's all very deep space and ambient. you can put it on and just zone out completely.

[Nevsky100]

Chronos is the best video I'd ever seen.Would be great if someone uploaded the whole thing.

[JJ2422]

very very nice good job

[Shrekdragon]

Could anybody upload the whole original Ron Fricke Chronos video?

[Rhondadonda9]

fantastic.  Saving on favorites. Thank you.
