Forbidden Planet's innovative electronic music score (credited as ''electronic tonalities'' ) was composed by Louis and Bebe Barron. Using ideas and procedures from the book, Cybernetics: Or, Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine (1948) Barron constructed his own electronic circuits that he used to generate the ''bleeps, blurps, whirs, whines, throbs, hums, and screeches''. After recording the basic sounds, the Barrons further manipulated them, adding effects, such as reverberation and delay, and reversing or changing the speeds of certain sounds.A must for all fans of electronica raw....innovative sounds....Robby The Robot...just the cover is worth the price of admission, and the sounds.....sublime.* Wonderfully yet eccentrically mastered by the wonderful Norman Blake.* Notes by broadcaster and electronic music enthusiast John Cavanagh.

Forbidden Planet is the granddaddy of tomorrow, a pioneering work whose ideas and style would be reverse-engineered into many cinematic space voyages to come. Leslie Nielsen plays the commander who brings his spacecruiser crew to Planet Altair-4, home to Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), his daughter (Anne Francis), a dutiful robot named Robby…and to a mysterious terror. Featuring sets of extraordinary scale and the first all-electronic musical soundscape in film history, Forbidden Planet is in a movie orbit all its own.

Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST is transformed in this landmark science-fiction film. Spacemen travel to a planet ruled by Dr. Edward Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), who has built a kingdom with his daughter and obedient robot Robby. The good doctor is plagued by his mad quest for knowledge through his "brain booster" machine, and by Freudian "monsters from the id" as his daughter discovers other men and learns to kiss.

A dutiful robot named Robby speaks 188 languages. An underground lair provides astonishing evidence of a populace a million years more advanced than Earthlings. There are many wonders on Altair-4, but none is greater or more deadly than the human mind. Leslie Nielsen portrays the commander who brings his spacecruiser crew to the green-skied Altair-4 world that's home to Dr. Morbius, his daughter, the remarkable Robby and to a mysterious terror.

Important Records couldn’t be happier to welcome the legendary producer Jack Dangers to the fold. You may know Jack as the founding member of the most experimental and influential group ever to hit the dance floor, Meat Beat Manifesto. His intensely elaborate work with Meat Beat combined deep bass grooves, massive bursting samples and dense barrages of hip-hop, industrial and avant-funk making his influence on the landscape of electronic music practically immeasurable. It’s a fact that without Jack Dangers there never would have been a Nine Inch Nails, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers or the like. Jack wrote the book. This double CD release contains Jack’s now famous soundtrack for the legendary sci-fi film Forbidden Planet. This recording was performed live accompanying a screening of the film at the I.D.E.A.L. Music Festival in Nantes, France. Since the performance the legend of this recording has mounted as Jack’s legions of fans have searched far and wide for copies of it. As a special bonus, Forbidden Planet Explored contains a second disc full of sci-fi sound effects inspired by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (highly innovative collaborative workshop responsible for early groundbreaking electronic music which was used as the soundtrack for numerous BBC programs starting in the sixties) and vintage sci-fi films such as Forbidden Planet. Sci Fi Sound Effects was created on his room sized EMS Synthi 100. Jack’s Synthi 100 is one of the only 29 ever built and one of the only Synthi’s known to be operational. From the Synthi 100 this maestro of sound is able to produce elaborate unheard tones, drones, bleeps and blobs. This CD is only available as an accompaniment to Forbidden Planet Explored.

Take a dazzling trip to outer space with this fantastic sci-fi classic. It's the year 2257 A.D. when the far-off star called Altair-IV, occupied by three lone inhabitants, is visited by a search party from Earth. Professor Morbius, played by Walter Pidgeon, is a fugitive superscientist who has decoded the secrets of an extinct master-race and created a weird world of futuristic marvels. Anne Francis is his daughter Altaira, a bewitching innocent who has lived her whole life in this realm of splendors and knows no man but her father. At their beck and call is Robby the Robot, an endearing machine who speaks 187 languages and can produce anything from hors d'oeuvres to emeralds. What happens when the space cruiser captained by Commander Adams (Leslie Nielsen) lands on this outer-space paradise makes for a spine-chilling, flamboyant fantasy combining romance, humor and suspense. The film rushes to a fiery climax when an unknown terror, impervious to man-made weapons, threatens to destroy all. If you're a sci-fi fan, you'll love this movie classic, which Pauline Kael called "the best of the science fiction interstellar productions of the fifties."

An anthology of science fiction short stories by some of today's top authors to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the science fiction film classic Forbidden Planet. Filled to the brim with provocative tales of worlds where humans were never meant to go.
