Solaris - Martian Chronicles (1984)

Solaris라고 하면 OS로만 알고 있으면 IT종사자~
(혹시 이름이 비슷한 Solaria를 알고계신다면 Asimov 올드팬~)
하지만 Solaris를 음악으로 기억한다면..
헝가리 프로그레시브 락밴드 Solaris는 폴란드(Polish) 작가 Stanisław Lem의 작품 Solaris(1961)에서 그 이름을 가져왔다. 물론 프로그레시브와 SF를 좋아했기 때문이다.

미래판 분서갱유(焚書坑儒)인 화씨451(Fahrenheit 451, 1953)의 작가 Ray Bradbury의 The Martian Chronicles(1950)에 영향을 받은 프로그레시브 음악史에 길이 남을 Solaris의 그 유명한 첫 LP 1984년 "화성연대기" 마르스베리 크루니카크 Marsbéli Krónikák (Martian Chronicles)를 발표하였다.

소설 Solaris를 영화화 한 2002년 George Clooney 주연의 미국에서 만들어진 것도 있지만 작가와 감독의 대립으로도 유명했던 1972년 舊(旧)소비에트연방의 Andrei Tarkovsky 작품 Solaris(Солярис)가 인상적이라 할 수 있다. 2시간45분이라는 긴 러닝타임에다가 차분한 진행으로 자칫 딴 생각하다보면 바로 꿈나라로 순간이동 할 수도 있다.. 쿨~ 머 Andrei의 유작인 The Sacrifice보다가도 꿈나라로 가는 바람에 몇번이나 비디오 돌려봤었던.. ㅠㅠ

영화 솔라리스의 엔딩테마는 바흐의 Choral BWV 639 'Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ'
Solaris Theme (Bach : Choral BWV 639)



Tomita가 편곡한 솔라리스 테마도 있으니..

The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the sky (Eye in the sky, 1982) (Live in Madrid)



Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

Chorus:
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving

(Chorus)

Klaatu - Maybe I'll Move to Mars (1981)

[Total Recall, 1990]


Mars is not so far away :-)

Klaatu - Maybe I'll Move to Mars (Magentalane, 1981)


Me:
Talked to a friend one lonely day
Told me that he was going away
He's got to live some other place

Him:
I can't stay here another day
And to you I say
Tomorrow I leave for outer space
Maybe I'll move to Mars
Maybe I'll move to Mars

Me:
Naturally I was quite surprised
When I looked into his eyes
To see he was quite sincere

Him:
All that I have to say
Mars is not so far away
How we will get there is quite clear
Maybe I'll move to Mars
Maybe I'll move to Mars
One step closer to the stars
Maybe I'll move to Mars

Me:
How will we get there?
How will we get there?
I can't believe that what you say is true
And I can't leave
I've got too much to do

Him:
Oh we can get there, we have found a way
We're all prepared and we can leave today
Me and my friends have worked for years
And we have planned well, have no fears

Me:
How will we get there?
Him:
We have found a way
Me:
How will we get there?
Him:
We can leave today
Me and my friends have planned most properly
We have built a ship that floats on gravity

Me:
And then he turned and walked away
Can't tell you how I regret that day
I've not seen him for years

Him:
I sent a card today to my friend so far away
Having a nice time wish that you were here
Maybe I'll move to Mars
Maybe I'll move to Mars
One step closer to the stars
Maybe I'll move to Mars
