Well Known Fantasy And Science Fiction Music

By Deanne Shepard


Movies, radio, television and theater all have a need for great soundtracks. A lot of science fiction music and fantasy oriented recordings provide a telling of some of the greatest stories ever told. Books, video games and live action often bring different sounds to life. Science fiction recordings can be found in mysteries, sci-fi epics and suspense thrillers.

There are also a number of television shows like Star Trek, Lost in Space, Twilight Zone and others that host some of the best and scariest sounds ever associated with film or television. Songs are often repeated at the beginning or end of each episode with special attention being paid to premieres and finales. While most accompaniment is provided at the beginning and end of a program, there are instances in which songs can accompany a plot, theme or simply appear in the background.

Fantasy and sci-fi often ruled the radio market with shows like War of the Worlds, and others in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Shows that sometimes had people believing the program was reported real rather than fictional events. With the onset of television, this somewhat changed. Still, people love to be shocked, startled and surprised and this type of music is something that can definitely create this effect.

Satellite, cable and local channels all host full season of shows with multiple episodes. While some replay the same introductory recordings throughout all seasons, others try to mix it up. In fact, many producers prefer to create a change in this opening though shows like True Blood and Dexter seem to keep the same openings throughout the entire series.

When an individual hears a song that is in alignment with the plots and themes associated with plots and themes, it tends to give way to a deeper viewing experience. A number of individuals whom have had these or similar experiences have now put together a list of 23 songs which represent the best of the best of this type of music.

Whether telling stories of aliens and alien love through song, or, simply attaching sound effects to a stunt, individuals often find that listening to songs on a soundtrack outside of a film or television show to be quite enjoyable and intriguing. Shows like the X-Files and Roswell have had some of the scariest and most haunting songs sounds ever produced.

While Fantasy is part sci-fi and part its own genre, some fantastical music has come out of the Fantasy movie and television genre. Two artists which represent Fantasy in music are Enya and Sky Cries Mary, both of which paint a picture with lyrics while also entertaining the audience. While the Sci-Fi genre tends to provide a deeper viewing experience, Fantasy often takes the audience on a journey.

Most soundtracks for film and television are pre-recorded. Live music can also provide a great ambiance to a sci-fi based play or other performance which might be considered a little out there. For better or worse, some of the most dramatic of sounds have been known to come from live musicians. Lovers of this and other genres can all be grateful that most of the time it is for the better.
