The Morning Benders

My buddy Brad just told me about The Morning Benders. Their myspace page may be the best place to start.

sounds we sent to space

In 1977, nasa sent two probes into space, each with a golden phonograph. Carl Sagan and his buddies picked the music.

Here are some of my favorites from the collection. Its best to imagine the dark emptiness of space and/or aliens listening to these tracks.
