A Glorious Dawn

Forget rap, forget the news, THIS is what auto-tune was meant for! Carl Sagan sings his lovely prose about our wonderful universe with an appearance by Stephen Hawking. -via Geeks Are Sexy


Carl Sagan has long been a hero of mine, and I always appreciated the poetry of his words in Cosmos...as a musician, I love to hear Carl Sagan's words put to music, and in his (sort-of) own voice! Fantastic. Loved that man.

I really like that... I'm half tempted to rip that to an MP3 and put it on my ambient downtempo playlist. It's sciencey and po-mo all at the same time. As they say, "MOAR!"

Ah! Didn't notice that, thanks! Now, I will admit I own the Klein Four's CD, but I would totally shell out $16.99 for 12 tracks of this sort of thing. Carl Sagan was masterfully poetic and totally brilliant. I'd love to see other science fiction and fantasy authors put to ambient downtempo. Can you imagine how awesome the Jabberwock might sound this way? Oo! Or how about some of the recordings of Tolkien reading long passages in Quenya!
