In 1983, Eno’s experiments in ambient music led him back to the space race. And while he thought that was cool, he wasn’t inspired to compose any space-related music until many years later. Brian Eno’s post-Apollo tributeĮno believes he saw Yuri Gagarin’s Vostok 1 flying overhead on April 12, 1961. So what was one those tapes? Vanity Fair has documented things here. You can actually hear some of that music playing in this inflight recording. They could listen and tape over the music whenever they needed to record something for science. Knapp asked the astronauts if they’d like some music for their cassettes. The idea wasn’t to play music NASA’s plan was for the astronauts to make voice memos on their way to and from the moon. Mickey was friendly with a couple of the astronauts, which is how he learned NASA had given each one a then-state-of-the-art Sony TC-50 cassette player, an ancient ancestor of the Walkman. Kapp Records was one of the 400,000 or so private companies that contributed to the American space effort. That job fell to a friend named Mickey Kapp. The astronauts took their own music to the moonĪrmstrong, Aldrin, and Collins were much too busy training to leave Earth to make mixtapes for their trip.

But inspired by Stanely Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, Bowie had written a song about a doomed spaceman named Major Tom, the first version of which was recorded on February 2.īefore the song could come out, however, Bowie’s deal with Deram Records expired and the fate of any new music was uncertain. Up until the summer of 1969, David Bowie was a part-time mime and a failed folksinger. While there are plenty of playlists commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing (just Google “moon music” and you’ll see what I mean.) Instead, I’ve compiled something a little more intertwined with that day in 1969.

but earlier that afternoon at a church picnic, I definitely recall watching the landing itself on a tiny black-and-white TV that someone had set up in a barn. my parents say they rousted out of bed and sat me down in front of a TV to watch Neil Armstrong set foot n the moon.
