It&#8217;s so bold and futuristic that it still promises some peek into the future, even 7 years past its promised fruition, when we live in a hi-def world that still never seems as crisp and synthetic as the one <strong>Stanley Kubrick<\/strong> depicted. This feeling of wonder over the Look of a film makes sense to you, right? It doesn&#8217;t have to be this particular film for you.<\/p>\n<p>I would imagine that there are recordings that have hit our ears in a similar way to what I describe with the visuals in <em>2001: A Space Odyssey<\/em>. In <strong>your music-loving lifetime<\/strong>, has there been a recording that&#8217;s stayed fresh and &#8220;boldly futuristic&#8221; long after its debut, maybe even after it&#8217;s become part of the mainstream and used in <strong>Target<\/strong> commercials? The only thing I ask is that you keep it to recordings that have come out in your music-loving lifetime. If you were 3 when <em>Sgt. Pepper&#8217;s<\/em> came out, for instance, try something more in tune with the years when you consciously became a music lover. We all imagine how boldly futuristic some reissued record we&#8217;ve picked up at one time or another still sounds, but it&#8217;s not the same as hearing it for the first time with your own ears.<\/p>\n<p><em>I look forward to your responses.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whoa! 2001: A Space Odyssey is playing on the tv.
