[Staralfurz]

read the book

[raas96]

@Staralfurz reading Solaris is staggering. the old Russian make of the movie is good too

[JohnnyJohn116]

This movie and score and score has touch me deep inside my person and I will never be the same person ever again.

[Rockyroopam]

@JohnnyJohn116 I know exactly how you feel, it's shaped me and made me into something so much more as well.

[metalfacedoom7]

@Rockyroopam .... ditto

[AGENTSMITH27420]

@Rockyroopam I totally know what you mean. If you like this one, check out Clint Mansell composing The Fountain. Also, check out Mark Isham composing The Crazies. I am huge into scores and composers and this one definitely touched me. check those other two out also, I think you will enjoy them.

[TheShaygs]

try playing Osmos on the iphone. Its the same music

[lewissia62]

Très belles images aux sons de le musique !

[debttopleasure]

This is the sound that should come out of palm trees as you walk into the caribbean sea at night.

[TheHappyboy12345]

Dude great  piece

[robokopo]

Beautiful!

[ApollosInsight]

This song is too short, IMO.

[ortizlzitro]

@ApollosInsight - what does that even mean, too short?

[EeccmanNL]

@ortizlzitro it means that this should be 10 minutes i would never get bored but then i wouldnt have to replay the song al the time

[Julienfun]

4 peoples don't know anything about what is real music.

[electrohermit]

He certainly went into another realm with this song and got everyone's attention.

[keesvangelis]

wow very good track good ambiance good sequincing, and i love the video

[M109RDOWNUNDER]

Thanks for putting this up, Solaris is my favourite film of all time, seen it over 10 times, great story, visually stunning but the music makes it perfect

[thearcticwombats]

is this the drummer that played in the chili peppers once

[brainstorm44]

@thearcticwombats

yeah, it's him.



[rhabarberkompott]

@thearcticwombats

as far as i remember he was drummer in captain beefheart + his magic band.

[CodeNamePhill]

very nice. this sounds like it was performed on a hang drum. It has that sound to it anyway. Can anyone clarify that for me please because I'm curious?

[sismani]

Cliff Martinez knows how music must sound...

[crashoverride1000]

This music has an eerie ambiant quality that made Solaris pyschically disturbing and the graphics piece above was damn good also.

[CarlosShowroom]

nice! really nice!

[GodsOwnBackGarden]

this so beautiful

Antonio

[7ay]

fucking chills man

fu-cking-chills

[saksalainenreika]

Wait. The same guy who drummed for the peppers?

[twobombs]

Aphopphysis & Flame4 it pwns

[CMLKv6XijpMC9QoHuwod]

Excellent !

[tialeetull]

if you like this, check out laurie anderson's 'walking and falling'. hypnotic -

[FredSmith1980]

She pretty much sucks. Boo on the referral.

[tialeetull]

hmmmmmm. hired by nasa - the only ever artist intern. how about YOUR opinion is your own. boo to you!

[Welloiledcog]

Life's true potential is harnessed frequency. Everything else is... distraction. Close your eyes - Switch off your whispers, your inner dialogue. Listen to your energy. Feel what it says. It surges, it flows, it cycles, it communicates... Switch off distraction, return back to your natural self. We are beating light.

[pickpoker12]

Check Love on a real train - Tangerine dream

Sounds familiar?

[tialeetull]

.......... yea, it kinds reminds me of that. it also reminds me of peter gabriel's washing the wound, too (off the birdy soundtrack).

[luigipedrini]

@pickpoker12

Nooo.... Not really....

[tialeetull]

that soundtrack 'theme' title you refer to - check out the full length version on their album, force majeure!

[Audiofile6]

If you cant "hear" this.. then you shouldn't be listening to music.

Simply beautiful

[ducorov]

I hate that all versions of the book by Stanisław Lem stayed away from the ultimate message he was presenting to us, including and perhaps mostly so, scientist. The consideration of the inadequacy of communication between humans and sufficiently different alien life forms was a recurring theme of Stanisław Lem. The movie would have been far better if it didn't focus on Pretty Boy Floyd George and his DEEAAD WIFE and more on the question of science and communication.

[Markipelago]

They used this very effectively in Wicker Park too, but I think it delivered the effect better in Solaris.

I loved this movie because it was intellectual - minor things like when Chris asks his manifested late wife logical questions when first they meet instead of just freaking out. The score was so intensely atmospheric it's almost impossible to imagine the movie separated from it. I thought it was marvelous.

[vetred]

sooths the soul...............

[wozza2341]

Cliff Martinez is a genius. This is a truly a masterpiece, one of his best compositions.

[santasoucio]

Is such a haunting movie...and the music, really is something else.

[fingerprint211b]

The music is awesome, but you should just have played the videos from solaris.

[deefromott]

because people can't be creative?

[starsinmyeyesros]

Crash? I don't think that was Cliff Martinez. However, you did remind me to have a listen to that soundtrack and it is very moving. This one though,gets me every time.

[Markipelago]

@starsinmyeyesros

Crash was Mark Isham - also very cool and atmospheric in some ways however.

[fldi17]

really agree with you Rockyroopam

[Bikfinc2]

Fantastic!!!

[jeecreate29]

this soundtrack is hypnotic, absolutely brilliant. The soundtrack to Crash he did which is great, but this is truly unique

[inachu]

I would prefer to call it ambient energy as it will want to lul you to sleep but once you are at that mental state it then wants to wake you up.

[zinx99]

okay i have a quick question what is this music genre because i love this genre. I love music like this and its so hard to find other artists. And I love this song by the way it just makes you think no matter who you are it makes you think.

[JoeSki42]

It's called "Ambient music".

[funeralforyou]

if i hear this OST i always fall into a reassured and thoughtful mood

[GoldenXen]

Valken wow..

[anisnane]

o som do silêncio...

very beautiful!

[alecny69]

to PaleRider4136

thank you for these beaut words

[zemozzer]

i really cannot get enough of Cliff's music.. i actually ordered the sdtk on amazon yesterday and should get it by friday or so.

thanks for posting this... and the imagery suits it all resplendently well.

[PaleRider4136]

I still think, as i have thought over time, that this film might eventually drive me insane if that hasn't happened already.

My wife and I, this was our favorite movie. This was "our" movie.

It's now "a couple of years" as Kelvin put it, since I lost her in much the same way as Kelvin lost Rheya.

My life has somehow become a parallel of this movie and I don't know why, up to the point where i'm realizing there is no "Solaris" i can travel to, to somehow bring her back.

[valken666]

There is no such a thing as insanity.

[PaleRider4136]

Then why the international bans on human cloning, and those who attempt it. Either the world is insane and I'm sane, or I'm insane and the world is sane. It has to be one or the other, because the ends Ive already went to many would call insane, but to me it's just desperation.

[valken666]

Everyone is afraid of human/animal hybrids, double humans, etc. It has nothing to do with insanity, it is just fear, precautions, etc. Mostly by religious people that don't want the world to change into a science fiction movie where the end is too different and uncertain for them to feel good about it.

[changpal66]

no cloning will ever bring back your loved ones. death is a natural part of life. you have to accept it to be able to move forward. or you will remain trapped in the past.

[PaleRider4136]

I want to be trapped in the past. The past was where everything was right with the world. Whatever this is, isn't worth it so why the hell wouldn't I.

[inachu]

You are 100% correct.

The person who does not go insane durring a traumatic event is the one really insane as insanity is a level sof protection the mind goes through to protect itself.

[zukodama666]

how does going insane protect your mind and wich part does it protect?

[morpheus1x]

Sad and ironic but a fantastic parallel. Sooner or later the illusion of bringing her back (which is a natural coping mechinism) will fade and life will move on and Solaris will fade in revelvance. It took me some time to take control of my future and move on and often watched Solaris to cope...strange!

[keomacfarlane]

I hold a similar pain.

Don't spend too long looking at the past. All else will pass you by.

[zemozzer]

the 'verse is a ridiculously huge place..it's quite possible there is such a spot as Solaris. and i sense it's far more probable than not. if i were you, i would call out to it in dreams. study lucid dreaming, if you have not already.

it must be difficult to lose someone like that. a sorrow so overflowing, well.. it must be. i would think of it as being infinitely dispersed. i would learn to look upon all life for what it has yet to return to: one.

the big electron- as carlin put it.

[HellionPL]

So Beautiful !!!

[nalufrank]

Closing my eyes, and leaving this reality, wish it could stay forever like that.. wonderful music..

[3AProduction]

What did everyone walk away with from Solaris? I'm still trying to interpret it.

[AlbanianWolf]

Well, it is difficult to interpert it, but Solaris, essentially provided people with the lives they had missed or the lives they wanted. Solaris could reward you like it did with Chris, by reuniting him with his deceased wife, or it could drive you insane like it did with Gibarian. It all depended on what the reason was for you being there. The people who were there to exploit Solaris got driven Insane, the people who went there with the hope of achieving redemption got Bliss!

[AlbanianWolf]

Solaris could hold the key to your most impossible dreams or to your wrost nightmares, it just all depended on your true intentions. If you went there to commercially and economically exploit Solaris, and being full of regret then the planet responded in a negative way, but if you went there, seeking true answers and wishing you could undo a wrong then Solaris would make your most coveted dreams come true.

[Numinous123]

The creature, Solaris, was reflecting back the subconscious desires that the people were having in a solid form.

Imagine that you were in an environment were something that you didn't understand was just reaching into your heard, without permission, and giving you everything everything you wanted.

For some of the crew it was too frightening. They felt the creature may have been some oppressive controlling force that was to powerful and vast to contemplate, so they ran in fear.

[veneziablau]

I agree, Solaris was simply attempting to communicate. Many were not ready for that.

[zemozzer]

hahaha, in all honesty - i walked away with a full-blown manic episode that lasted for something like 4 months! i'm dead serious! i lost a lot of weight. no sleep, turbocharged heartbeat, etc., etc.

the film eventually propelled me to take up sky-surfing. just like bond did in um.. whatever film that was. james bond.

[asmorrey1]

IT's hypnotic. I have one of those 'music pillows' so i can listen to music as i go to sleep. For some reason this is the only soundtrack that can send me straight off!

[cpauld2003]

Have you tried White Ladder by David Gray or Simplesimente by Bebel Gilberto. Both of those do it for me.

[SassyJay2]

anyone had the patience to sit through the original masterpiece by andrei tchaikofsky? (have definitely spelt that wrong)

[oustres]

you mean andrei tarkofsky. Tchaikofsky was a composer ;-)

[sattfield]

Andrei Tarkovsky

[prodigysadia]

Devastatingly dark and tragically beautiful.

Thank you for putting this piece up. Ever since I have watched Solaris I became not only intrigued by the movie but the soundtrack they had used. Cliff Martinez is a wonderful composer. His music is brilliant and enigmatic, like the human mind itself.

[sibrokende]

@prodigysadia Devastatingly dark and tragically beautiful. <--What a perfect description.

[prodigysadia]

@sibrokende thank you! I didn't even know my comment was up there =), thanks for the nicest message ever.

[sibrokende]

@prodigysadia You are very welcome :)

[EeccmanNL]

@prodigysadia Im not saying music is about drugs or you should take some, but if you ever get interrested, when i listend to this on shrooms it was the perfect meditation. and nonetheless i never saw this movie until yesterday and this surely goes into my top 20 sci-fi movies

[apocryph5]

@prodigysadia beacuase Steven Soderbergh film its mistake, check book, and other Stanislaw Lem books

[mohanicus]

i just seen solaris last night.

have to say it was amazing.

i loved every second of it.

what an amazing soundtrack.

truly soothing music.

[Shadapaga]

@mohanicus solaris doesnt make sense if you dont watch takovskis version.

[Fwedeuwick]

One of the best movies I've ever watched. Vrey beautiful song too.

[natyjubi]

splendide!!!!

[rosebud1959]

I love this type of music

[XXSOLOKASTXX]

Everytime I hear the songs on this soundtrack, they sound different. It's weird...but that's why I keep listening to it!

[jonnypark]

i totally agree! its like it changes each time you press play

[silversaltfilms]

classic
