  • I love the Einstein quote,

    "I don't know what weapons WWIII will be fought with but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones"

    Not verbatim.

  • beginning reminds be of the opening of Britten Sinfonia da Requiem

  • Great work of music. I saw the Japan premier in Tokyo last month. Dr. Atomic was paired with Symphony No. 6 “Hiroshima” (交響曲第6番「HIROSHIMA」) (1985) by Ikuma Dan (團 伊玖磨).

  • I like to think of John Adams as late late romantic composer.

  • My school band is using an arrangement of this piece as our opener for our marching band.

  • i can tell he borrowed 1:19-2:00 for his "on the transmigration of souls" 9/11/01 tribute. i find it weird that he linked the doctor atomic with that song. the possibilities...

  • this is unreal!!!!

  • @MichaelBakrnchev1989

    Turn the volume up!

  • Very engaging composition. The recording doesn't have very much ambience, which is a shame, but it still sounds quite good.

  • 3:20 holy crap
