Howard Menger - Authentic Music From Another Planet (1957) - Track 2 - Marla

[jatigre1]

Just the idea of listening to actual music from another planet is incredible and fascinating.

I don't know, but I'm so glad you uploaded this because it's very, very interesting - whether it's authentic or Menger made it up. I personally believe him when he says he made contact, but this music, as pretty as it is, isn't that much different from what you'd hear on the old Lawrence Welk show?

@bellehaup33 Thanks for watching, you have a valid point... it's not exactly the experimental, psychadelic-jazz-funk, workout we've been taught to expect from intergalactic entities or for that matter, their contactee prodigy. I guess we'll have to wait for their difficult second album ;-)

[crashingkite]

Hey.......they love tango on Venus and Saturn! Thats coo!

[Thekherham]

Greetings, Earthlings. The music of my planet sounds a lot better.

[CptCryBaby]

It's all starting to make sense. You can tell that someone with less than five digits composed this music!

[kiuhy8]

nice

[BootiDaddy]

This doesn't sound like anything special...but whether the contactee existed or not, I believe that the message is right...forget war and lets just get on!

Very conventional music, using the western diatonic scale, just the kind of music Mr Menger would have heard growing up. Not impressed.

[StepmothersTeeth]

@GalaxyHorse Thanks for your insight. It certainly is a case for debate.

@GalaxyHorse

I have to admit, I agree with this statement. This music played by Menger sounds like the kind of music they would play on the Lawrence Welk show. I somehow envisioned weird notes and tones like the music people make when playing rows of drinking glasses filled with water. I can't say I'm impressed either. In fact I am rather disappointed.

I actually have this album. The cover is kind of beaten up, but the vinyl disc is in near-pristine condition. Can anyone tell me the value?  I might be willing to sell

[kiuhy8]

[5T3V1L]

it's good. sounds easter european

[borceroy]

@5T3V1L Nah, I would say South European: Franco-Italian, Maltian, Sicilian, Dalmatian, Corsican, Castilian-Spanish and South-French.

Eastern-European sounds more like Russian and Polish.

-Just my opinion.

[borceroy]

Sounds Dalmatian :)

[StepmothersTeeth]

Ah, I see/hear what you mean now!
