Windforge
If you were in a cynical state of mind, you might conclude that this LP was released in order to cash in on the popularity of the 2001 film and the soundtrack that followed it. Liner notes state the intention of wishing to "extend the inspiration cycle" begun with the resurgence of interest in the classical selections present on the original 2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack, and in this regard it does not disappoint. Naturally, Also Sprach Zarathrustra is reprised but of major interest are the Ligeti pieces; Lontano in particular would not appear out of place in the film. Richard Strauss and Aram Khatchaturian's music is also featured once more but it is the Delibes and Gounod compositions that make this album for me. Definitely recommended to collectors and fans of the film - plus, the sleeve is pretty cool.
