Ambient music for the moon landing

Z 34 03 3403212989-1

Polish composer Marek Kamiński (Lights Dim) and Hidekazu Imashige (Gallery Six) created a beautiful ambient/classical soundscape celebrating the 43rd anniversary of the first humans on the moon. Above is the track "Sea of Tranquility." The lavishly-packaged 4-track "Moon EP" is available for €6. It's handmade, includes four NASA photos from the Apollo 11 mission, and a Polish postal stamp issued in July 1969. There are only 21 copies of the CD available. You can also listen to the whole thing for free and pay whatever you'd like for the digital download. "Moon EP" (via No Fear Of Pop, thanks Patrick Kelly!)

Listened to this EP whole way though. While not bad, it’s just bog standard bedroom ambient tracks.

I’ve got to mention Joe Ellis here, who started composing instrumental tracks to honor and represent various missions Quite Some Time Ago. His synth work on those old tracks may be dated by today’s standards, but the compositions are pretty darned good. (Hm. I should track him down and nudge him about an updated edition, since he probably still has the MIDI scores.)
