Keeping with my Theremin obsession.......

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL


Thought I'd post my favourite theme tune, and yes, you guessed it! It's recorded on the theremin.

You have to love a bit of black and white sci-fi, especially when it's backed up with an eerie theremin soundtrack. There's nothing better! I can't believe how futuristic the theme sounds, the instrument perfects the unknown, alien world, bringing a pure, spine-shivering atmospheric sound. Where most old movies, when watched nowadays, fail to build suspense, the theremin still hold that glory. Latter films scores still use the instrument, check out Mars Attacks!!.

  3. I hate Mars Attacks, watched it when I was 9 and cried for 3 days afterwards. I think it was mainly due to the fact that I was petrified of the dog woman.
