Good space music?

[Pellape]

My absolute favorite space music is made by the Canadian band SAGA and I also had the benefit and privileges to smoke some cigs with the singer Michael Sadler behind the club called Trägårn the 19th oktober last year after their nice gig there. That was extremely cool but even if I am a damn good talker, Michael is better and extremely social and nice as a person and he sure loves what he is doing and has done for the last 45 years, and so is the guitar player Ian Crichton that I talked to later, mostly about his own cool music he makes, that is harder and more rougher than SAGA. Lets peak at 2 songs to start with, my favorites, that will represent what SAGA is standing for and what kind of stories they wanna tell in their spaced and symphonic progressive music. Maybe it is so you are a fan as well? I am also a musician but I show of my stuff later on and I am also willing to make music suitable for your mods, maybe but i am not as good as SAGA is, but I sure are influenced by them. My studio is basically built on free digital stuff but we can make anything with it. Just give me a hint about the style of music you want to use in your mod and I will try to make it.

Lets peek at SAGA now as I do think their music would fit perfect with Starfield but keep in mind, music is extremely personal and what you like to listen to, may not be the same stuff I like. SAGA is not well known outside the fan base, as they do make unique stuff that do not appeal to the majority as it is to complex, having to much stuff and sure require a lot from you as a listener. Seeing them live is amazing but now, I only want to show their original studio stuff as they tend to speed up live, to much if you ask me but live is live and it is showbizz. Their live concerts has a huge quality so you can see the songs live as well if you like what you hear here.

Lets start with their most popular song, Careful where you step. It is about the war I guess well any war. Do not step on the mines.  I am not native English, so some texts I do not grasp, as I do focus at the music mainly.

Th cover of this record is the coolest cover that I have ever seen on a record. As I am a graphics student, I got permission from my teacher to animate this next spring s he decide what is good stuff to add to my future portfolio as an artist that will get me a job at all within this business and it is because of all the TES modding i donre for the last 19 years that I am able to pull this off at all. I will build it up, either in Starfield, Unreal or in Houdini and make that insect to take off and we see what i can do with all the insects in the background as well. I do need better pictures of the cover to add as many details as possible. I have asked SAGAs keyboard player Jim Gilmour in FB if he can help me, so lets see if he do or not...  I have not found a suitable image to use up to this point. Lets see if he responds at all.     maybe he will?  Sometimes he do.

Song number 2 is about 2 friends that are apart from each others, so it is a dialogue between the keyboard player Jim Gilmour and the singer Michael Sadler and that is so cool. As i understand it, the character that Michael is playing is some form of an agent out at a mission, and it not goes to well. We do not get any details about what the story is about and it does not matter as it is the feeling that is cool. The song starts slowly and ends in a symphonic long part with loads of cool solos and stuff. It is so brilliant made. They made a couple of songs like this as well and they are both great singers.  I think this song will fit in the cockpit of any spaceship.

This song is called Don't be Late and the cover here in the video is better and almost useful for my school project.    The thing is, as a Graphic Student, our job is mostly to recreate stuff or recreate ideas, visualize stuff, and i really wanna visualize this cool cover, making it come alive. Well back to the music. By the way the record is from 1980 and i found it 1982 and have been a dedicated fan ever since. The thing with SAGA is that they just make better and better records for every release that they do and the sound gets better and better and today it sounds so majestic and you cannot add more stuff than they already do as if you do, you destroy the whole mood. There is a limit of stuff you can manage to take in. It was majestic 1980 already.

 

A cool thing with SAGA is that they are from Toronto and they do know RUSH. The former bass player in SAGA, Jim Crichton was in the same class as RUSH guitar player Alex Lifeson and they did play together around 1968 in a school band. Around 1969, Geddy and Alex became friends and they wanted to make a band, but Geddy did not had afford to buy his own bass, but Jim was nice, so he lent his equipment to Geddy Lee so he was able to play. I asked SAGA about this in Facebook and they did confirm this cool story.     RUSH is part of the Rock Hall of fame now since 2013. Saga is not, not yet...     Maybe they never will.

I do hope you will love this space music. They are filled with cool stories as Michael Sadler is an extremely well storyteller and poet and I consider him to be best rock singer in the world and every SAGA fan will say the same, his voice is magic. He sing in the same way at this record as he did in his church as a boy singer, but today he use his voice more like any rock singer and it is so extremely dynamic. He smokes a lot and we did ask him how it is possible for him to be so good still at the age of 68 and he said: I do not have a single clue    It is what it is.    Maybe it is the smoking that made his voice better now, well you know, the whiskey voice as whiskey do make wonders to any voice....
