David Bowie's "Starman", from the 2012 40th Anniversary Edition of "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars". Taken from the Audio DVD of the 5.1 surround sound mixes.
Reading the comments I figured The Martian tried to be deep by using the song. When I actually watched the movie for the first time last week I had tears welling up in my eyes because it fit so perfectly.
Know how you feel. Can help but cry every time I watch the videos and/or listen to the tune. Only wish Mark had been watching the film 'Robinson Crusoe on Mars' in the HAB. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Egf7wjf0nqU.html
Lyrics: Didn't know what time it was the lights were low I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll "Lotta soul", he said Then the loud sound did seem to fade Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile And he told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie I had to phone someone so I picked on you Hey, that's far out so you heard him too Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two Look out your window I can see his light If we can sparkle he may land tonight Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile And he told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
There was this artsy girl I met at school in the 8th grade, she was weird and different and not afraid of other people's opinions, and I was utterly amazed by her existence. Somehow we became friends, one day she just walked up to me and told me that we were gonna make memories together. The next day I went to her house and when I walked into her room she was listening to this album on vinyl and dancing around without a single care in the world. Tapestries covered every wall, even covered her ceiling. It smelt of lavender and lemon grass. She was right, we were gonna make memories together.
Bowie Again!!! Most of my life I have listened 2 bowie,he is a true hero and his songs help me deal w life ,have had some tough times...and it is good 2 hear him again!!
'eductated'? ;-) All is forgiven Corporal. Matt making space science (AND botany) popular for a new generation. Let's go to Mars! and ... Let's bring them ALL home alive THIS time
2012 suvel möödus 40 aastat maailmas ühest suurima läbimüügiga ja ühest parimast ning revolutsioonilisemast albumi ilmumisest - David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from mars… mul on tõeliselt hea meel, et tänu mulle jõudis see album tervikuna ja üksikute hittidena ka eesti raadio kuulajani aastal 1976, mil ma selle albumi ümbervõtte tervikuna rangest kuulamiskomisjonist suutsin läbi suruda eesti raadio stereofonoteeki… esimene lugu plaadilt, mis eesti rahva ekstaasini viis, oli laul Starman ( tähemees )... see pala kõlas kuulajate soovil pea igas soovikontserdis ja muus muusikaprogrammis... kogu album kõlas aga korduvalt stereoraadio kavas aga ka hiljem vikerraadios… tänu mulle, jõudis Bowie ka üleliidulise raadio programmidesse, nagu raadio - majak - , toimetaja Владимир Сиверов kaudu, kes külastas eesti raadiot ja kuulas minu muusikasaateid, linte ja salvestusi… nii viis ta kaasa suure kuhja ümbervõtteid muusikaga minu salvestistest, sealhulgas ei puudunud ka Bowie… David Bowie laul Starman - tähemees, kujunes omamoodi ka lausa hümniks minu diskodel 70 - 80 ndatel, kus saalitäis fänne laulu refrääni kaasa laulsid ning käed püsti end välja elasid...
It refers to how the instruments are spread out over a stereo "landscape". If you listen to a recording in mono, everything is coming out of one speaker, which means that all the instruments and vocals are mixed together in one big heap, But when you mix in stereo, you separate all the individual tracks to get a clearer sound-scape. Hence the guitar is on one side and the drums on the other, while the vocals are usually in the middle Unfortunately, there's very little in the center of this mix
Absolutely. Too much separation and you're right about the ~Volume part. Way too much compression doesn't help either. I'm happy to go with the 1999 Remasters for now.
Can a Bowie fan help me with this PLS!!... I think Mr Bowie says: "we're not alone" & "look above"?? @ the very beginning of this track before the lyrics start... rip Some of Mr Ronson's best guitar work right here! rip
Yes. And it seems to be a trend these days with the majority of remastered editions. It doesn't matter if it's the Beatles albums of the Pink Floyd ones, or whatever. What they all have in common, is WAY too much separation. It just messes with your ears when using headphones. And also, while I like the warm sound of a lot of these remasters, the rich bass sound tends to overpower such "unimportant" things as guitars and keyboards. It's just bass and vocals now. And loud volume!
Well, I haven't listened to the new Aladdin Sane yet, but it gets much better reviews than the 40th anniversary edition of Ziggy Stardust. And no, compression is not the same thing. That's when you amplify low sounds and reduce loud sounds to achieve an overall even sound balance.
Beatriz N Pois eh Bia eu tbm. Na hora que ouvi no cinema pensei tipo 'eu ja ouvi essa musica em versao pt..'por causa do ritmo. Ai fui procurar e ouvi a do Astronauta. Linda as duas versoes
Out of curiosity, you say this mix (and the others you've uploaded) are from the 5.1 audio DVD. However, there were two, the 5.1 48/24 DTS mixes and the 5.1 Dolby Digital mixes. Which one is this exactly?
Isaiah 45:6-8 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. 8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it. Job 1: 20-22 20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, 21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. 22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Isaiah 55:6-9 6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. God is NOT in man made church buildings anymore. When Paul and the apostles were preaching the good news of the Gospel, they went from place to place. They never stayed in one church building every Sunday week after week. They were nomadic-roamed from place to place to add more souls for the Lord. That’s why Jesus says Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. This is what we are REQUIRED to do, NOT stay in one church building week after week, Sunday after Sunday. This is what most do not understand.
No, you're not stupid. It's quite easy to get all the terminology "mixed" up! Actually, I've just listened to the new Aladdin Sane, and my verdict is...well, it's not bad. It's in every way an improvement over the Ziggy disc, but I still prefer the 1999 remasters. I'm not sure why that is, since the new versions are supposed to sound more like the original vinyl records. But the 1999 ones just seem to have more power.
..Cheers buddy, I'll give it a listen...If what everybody is saying is true I'm destined for disappointment....I thought the Aladdin Sane 40th was ok though....What did you think of it?...I suppose 'compression' means the same thing as 'sepatation'?....Thanks again....
Some remasters are actually very good, like the RUSH albums. But many are horrible. And even some that shouldn't be allowed to be bad, are bloody atrocious. One example of the latter would be the stereo versions of The Beatles' albums. What were they thinking??? The mono versions are great, though,
I was complaining that I don't like the remastered stereo versions of The Beatles' albums, and you asked me if that included Abbey Road as well. At least that's what I think you were asking. And Abbey Road DOES sound good, but it's only one out of 15 albums in the box set...
..Yes, I wasn't that impressed with Ziggy40 either....Especially what they did to the sax solo on Soul Love and Ronno's solo on Daydream...They appear to have divided the sax so a little is on either speaker -- it's just tinkering....Ronno's solo has been well cleaned up....Ya, Aladdin Sane is triff alright, but I confess that I only recognize a difference here and there....Where will all this remastering end?.....
