That choice helped give several classical works a renewed popular life, and the soundtrack itself became a hit, reaching No. 24 on the Billboard 200.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than behaving like a conventional orchestral score, this album works as a sequence of instantly recognisable set-pieces. Richard Strauss's \u003cem\u003eAlso Sprach Zarathustra\u003c\/em\u003e brings its famous surge of grandeur, Johann Strauss II's \u003cem\u003eThe Blue Danube\u003c\/em\u003e supplies the film's eerie elegance, and György Ligeti's choral and orchestral pieces introduce the unsettling, modern edge that makes Kubrick's vision feel so uncanny even now. Aram Khachaturian's \u003cem\u003eGayane Ballet Suite (Adagio)\u003c\/em\u003e adds another note of isolation and melancholy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2023 vinyl edition brings together the original soundtrack album in a form that suits the material well: a concise, carefully sequenced listen where familiar pieces take on a very specific cinematic meaning. Even away from the screen, it remains a striking meeting point between classical repertoire, modernist tension, and one of film history's most distinctive uses of pre-existing music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g, Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGatefold sleeve with original artwork and credits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/soundtrack-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoundtracks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Various\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Elemental Music, MGM Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_spain\"\u003eSpain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/soundtrack-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoundtracks\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary\"\u003eContemporary\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/modern\"\u003eModern\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/neo-romantic\"\u003eNeo-Romantic\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/romantic\"\u003eRomantic\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/soundtrack\"\u003eSoundtrack\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Various+Also+Sprach+Zarathustra+=+Thus+Spake+Zarathustra\"\u003eAlso Sprach Zarathustra = Thus Spake Zarathustra\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Various+Requiem+For+Soprano,+Mezzo-Soprano,+2+Mixed+Choirs+And+Orchestra\"\u003eRequiem For Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, 2 Mixed Choirs And Orchestra\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Various+Lux+Aeterna\"\u003eLux Aeterna\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Various+The+Blue+Danube\"\u003eThe Blue Danube\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Various+Gayne+Ballet+Suite+(Adagio)\"\u003eGayne Ballet Suite (Adagio)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Various+Atmospheres\"\u003eAtmospheres\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Various+The+Blue+Danube\"\u003eThe Blue Danube\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Various+Also+Sprach+Zarathustra+=+Thus+Spake+Zarathustra\"\u003eAlso Sprach Zarathustra = Thus Spake Zarathustra\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Elemental Music, MGM Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44287866830913,"sku":"9192673","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/various-2001-a-space-odyssey-music-from-the-motion-picture-sound-_1pNyDBV.jpg?v=1785735319","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/various-2001-a-space-odyssey-music-from-the-motion-picture-sound-track-377554","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
