I found a source for the Pygmy girls’ initiation song. It’s listed as “Alima Song”, track 13:

How about what is among the most beguiling, unique, profound and emotional rock albums in existence?

"The most lunar album ever made" --John Balance on Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom

Nautical or womb-like might be a little more accurate but the idea is pretty much the same. Anything that gives us a reason to revisit or learn anew one's awe over this supreme masterpiece -- a work that is so personal, singular and utterly miraculous, that the likes of it will never be heard again.

And the music is great: most of the tracks start with some cheap electronic thing but turn out to be great accustic marvels.

Check it out!

I will! Seems to be very interesting.

This was excellent, I love the stark dynamics of a three piece band. Perfect for moon music.

So, as it's been 50 years since we landed on the moon I thought it can be a good idea to open a topic with moon and, more generally, space related songs. I will start with the most obvious, which also has its 50 year anniversary, but with a more recent version made by a well known astronaut in space.
