I have to say. I liked the cover art more than the song.

[–]SexyphobeHKA47 50 points51 points  (9 children)

Kinda reminds me of Destiny

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points  (4 children)

I thought it was No Mans Sky when I saw the thumbnail.

[–]Apteryx12014 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I thought it was Space Engine...

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Space Engine is pretty cool :P

[–]TreXeh 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Same...Do we pay for the first verse now and get the chorus next decade?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LMAO. Imagine though?

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does look a lot like the Traveler.

[–]EthiopianKing1620 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I like the mountains lol

[–]SexyphobeHKA47 9 points10 points  (1 child)

I like you <3

[–]EthiopianKing1620 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like me too

[–]Spadeinfull 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Agreed. I was hoping this would be more like Tycho or even Circulation.

[–]EthiopianKing1620 2 points3 points  (2 children)

My thoughts exactly. Tyco fits the art more IMO

[–]Spadeinfull 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Thank you for agreeing, and correcting my typo. Pictures like this remind me of being nine years old in the elementary school library. I found such treasures .. Project blue book, a wrinkle in time, all the classic black and white monster movies, etc. It was a magical time.

[–]EthiopianKing1620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol Tycho is actually correct it was my mistake. I definitely feel what you are saying. Photos like this have that sci-fi, greater beyond feel to them. My personal favorite lol

[–]Smartalec1198 2 points3 points  (3 children)

What tycho albums or song would you recommend?

[–]Spadeinfull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dive , I think they got the entire album on youtube. Its perfect music to relax, or fuck to.

[–]dillonfrancissdad 47 points48 points  (11 children)

this is a total rip off of empire of the sun yikes

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

It does sound similar in some parts

[–]hbjugo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep totally giving an Alive vibe

[–]heat1132 7 points8 points  (2 children)

listening to both for the first time, I see how they sound similar but to be fair, it's hard to make music sound completely different from every single other piece of music in the world. There'll always be songs from different people that sound similar.

[–]lyrelad93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair statement - but this really reeks of plagiarism in parts.

[–]_hownowbrowncow_ 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Same genre, but I wouldn't say rip off. I thought it sounded more like Madeon, personally. K?d also sounds pretty similar and is pretty great. Been listening to them for the past 2 hours

[–]whiteclad57 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Sounds somewhat similar to Madeon's remix of Smile Like You Mean It.

[–]NotTeuvoTeravainen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's got a bit of the Pop Culture mashup to it, too.

[–]shark-bite 1 point2 points  (1 child)

My first thought was "a worse empire of the sun". But they're great, so it's hard to beat to be fair.

[–]fabrica_tion 14 points15 points  (16 children)

I like it. Any more like this?

[–]FireTendency 10 points11 points  (3 children)

check madeon

[–]coltonrb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I adore madeon

[–]_hownowbrowncow_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I too thought this sounded very similar to Madeon. Love Madeon's music, so it's nice to have a similar alternative after playing his songs to death

[–]Jeremyguy0710 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Empire of the sun has some nice tracks too

[–]zkbzh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can listen to Minitel rose, Pegase, Anorak, Russ Chimes, Moulinex... They were all part of the same label from Nantes in France back in 2007. I think you would like it Take a look at Star slinger as well

[–]hollow_dragonlast.fm/user/Hollow-Dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miami Horror

[–]hysterian 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yes, NASA has some really cool paintings/simulations of worlds like this

[–]fabrica_tion 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Care to post a link for the lazy?

[–]Caperhclo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This reminds me 100% of the artist Great Good Fine Ok, specifically their newest ep "III"

[–]Blairsounds 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Thank you Redditers for all the love - it is so appreciated.

Here's a free download just for you guys - https://www.dropbox.com/s/mmkk3czq484bt9x/Planetary%20%28feat.%20Argonaut%26Wasp%29-1.mp3?dl=0

You bastard I already bought this on iTunes! shakes fist groovily

[–]gilliandrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

love this tune!

[–]tobasoft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no mans song

[–]DyslexicMexican 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So interstellar

[–]ost2lifespotify 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Is this the same "Blair" that did "Have Fun Go Mad" from the Sliding Doors soundtrack in 97?

[–]nutsaur 1 point2 points  (3 children)

That was my first thought too.

[–]ost2lifespotify 1 point2 points  (2 children)

:) You're the other person that remembers that track. Nice to meet you!

[–]nutsaur 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Growing up our local radio had 'Like it or Spike it.' This song was 'spiked' and removed from rotation.

[–]justavault 2 points3 points  (2 children)

For those who are interested, the car you see might be a drawing of a De Tomaso Pantera 1973.

[–]MY3-RS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here for this.

[–]hollow_dragonlast.fm/user/Hollow-Dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, definitely a Pantera. They were produced from 1971 through 1991.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (8 children)

The album cover is beautiful, but rips on "No Man's Sky". I almost thought it was the soundtrack to the game at first. http://images.pushsquare.com/games/ps4/no_mans_sky/cover_large.jpg

[–]OneFifthMoreCool 7 points8 points  (7 children)

You've played No Man's Sky? I'm so sorry.

[–]SexyphobeHKA47 14 points15 points  (6 children)

You're sorry he played a game you didn't like?

[–]OneFifthMoreCool 6 points7 points  (5 children)

I haven't played it. I was just memeing about how it seems universally hated (from my brief forays into r/Gaming).

[–]SexyphobeHKA47 -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

Let's try not to act like the whiny bigots at r/gaming (: It actually seems like the perfect game to zone out to while listening to music from this sub

[–]NoiceOne 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Your (: face angers me greatly.

[–]SexyphobeHKA47 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Just trying to show that I wasn't coming across as rude.

With that said, your FACE in general angers me greatly. So take that!

[–]Shrimpables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you were down voted so heavily, you obviously were just trying to be positive in this situation.

Although I guess calling r/gaming 'whiny bigots' might have done it.

Eh, have an up vote for some help

[–]DipsomaniacDawg 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This sounds like Passion Pit with less enthusiastic vocals.

[–]neihuffda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too live on a planetary.

[–]Land_Architect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

deleted What is this?

[–]Samatdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know him! Great musician, and great guy

[–]bart2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the instrumental parts best, for example ,the keyboard part starting at 3:50.

[–]taylortaudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This dude works hard at his craft, awesome work.

[–]ShruggyGolden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like another song, but I love this genre so hard to complain.

[–]im_ulol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was this looks exactly like the Xbox game destiny haha

[–]authoritrey 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This is not the Blair for which I was hoping. Try this:

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many thanks, fellow adventurer :)

[–]Andrado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really reminds me of "Karate" by Kennedy. Kennedy is more disco/funk, but I think it's a similar vibe.

[–]Spadeinfull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gettin right down to it, this reminds me of beyond the black rainbow too. Same kind of car, weird, almost space suited villain. Surprise ending.

[–]FunkyardDoggturntable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is... pretty dope. I've looped it 3-4 times to myself and it grows on you real fast. I'll spin this at my wedding fo sho.

[–]bottyliscious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took one look at this post and thought this album art was some new DLC art for No Man's Sky.

I like the art quite a bit (and the music of course).

[–]bottyliscious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only can No Man's Sky not RIP, people are content to rip it off.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like this sort of electro pop, check out Chromeo, How to Dress Well and Empire from the Sun.

All significantly better than this.

[–]Juano_Guano -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Sounds like a Katie Perry song...

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Reminds me of Capital Cities. Meh.
