The Steve Miller Band
Serenade

[Northern Nights]

I like it  It also makes me think of another canadian band with a similarly titled song... some parts of this would be great used as a bumper


https://youtu.be/kKY7yonQ_I4

Hell yeah I've always thought of that one as perfect bumper music.

Here's more Canadian hits from the 1970s, people in the Northern U.S and Canada would know these:

Prism - Take Me Away

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYreEXVa9ss

Pagliaro - Lovin' You Ain't Easy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHi3nwKTEzM

The Stampeders - Carry Me

[MV/Liberace!]

The Steve Miller Band
Serenade


http://youtu.be/xQ2OgCTTWfc

that's a great one.

[MV/Liberace!]

in that giant soup of ELO tunes, nobody mentioned livin thing?

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Great tune. I am also going to throw in some ELO, Calling America, for all the callers.
Calling America

"I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone
Yeah, we're living in
In a modern world."

Deadmau5 - Moar Ghosts 'n' Stuff (Hard Intro Mix 2011)

[Albemuth]

(Got to say â€" I like Catsmile’s list at the top of this page too)

3 lesser-known tunes from Tom Petty that might mesh with the format:

Supernatural Radio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8qB--d6q3A
Slower & atmospheric…

Shadow People

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VeFoeCTNSs
"I ain’t on the left, I ain’t on the right â€" I ain’t even sure I got a dog in this fight…”

Zero from Outer Space

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7LQMwKTi5g
Nice rocker, though Tom drops the F-bomb early in this tune…

[munbeam666]

Back in the 1980s the Grateful Dead did the soundtrack for the revived Twilight Zone series. IMHO, it would make great bumper music

[Camazotz Automat]

There's a certain generation that cannot help but think of the film Donnie Darko when this is played (similar to the way I can't help but think of Phantasm when I hear an ice cream truck's musical summoning.)


This is my second and final suggestion - mellow, but effective.

Bump it, Art!

Under the Milky Way - The Church


www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6jhpaX7fNQ

[indigoo]

Okay, I'm going out on a limb here with a few tracks that would be excellent for Art. The sound is what is important; they're not oldies, or classic rock, per se, but you can't tell me it doesn't give you that same feeling that "The Oh of Pleasure" did for Dreamland.

Carbon Based Lifeforms - Interloper

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrduIntJN10

Boards of Canada - Cold Earth (Linked directly to the bit that would be great)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdglpRwhoQE&t=63

'Older' tunes:

Klaus Schulze - Mephisto

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDMVs3UjxGA&t=3558

Tangerine Dream - Ricochet Part 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuN12dVmsT0&t=1480

Maybe not what he's looking for, but when I listen to stuff like this, there's always a sense of wonder/mystery that works hand-in-hand with a nighttime gaze at the stars.

[For Whom the Bell Tolls]

Funkadelic - maggot brain

Last one for now. Maybe for a spooky night.

[21st Century Man]

in that giant soup of ELO tunes, nobody mentioned livin thing?


www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvBOZCrJsAI

I didn't post it because The General had mentioned it in a previous post.   I was focusing on material not previously mentioned.  I love Livin' Thing. I really loved how they used that tune in Boogie Nights.

[21st Century Man]

Great tune. I am also going to throw in some ELO, Calling America, for all the callers.
Calling America


http://youtu.be/xn_XsOUC9s0

Yeah, that's a great one.  It's one of my favorites from their latter day tunes.  Another one that falls along with that is Telephone Line.  Though Calling America is more contemporary.


Here is a version of Telephone Line from 2012.  The man can still sing.  The guitar doesn't appeared to have been mixed in.


Jeff Lynne - Telephone Line - Live 2012

[21st Century Man]

Back in the 1980s the Grateful Dead did the soundtrack for the revived Twilight Zone series. IMHO, it would make great bumper music

I have that series.  It was a pretty good modern version of the show though I missed Serling.  I remember a couple of episodes off the top of my head.  One with Danny Kaye in one of his last performances and an episode with Bruce Willis. 

The later early 21st century version of the show sucked.

[PChirp]

Great tune. I am also going to throw in some ELO, Calling America, for all the callers.
Calling America


http://youtu.be/xn_XsOUC9s0

GREAT tune and I guess I'm showing my age here.  Have always loved this catchy tune.  It's always puzzled me, however, as to why the video was totally filmed in Paris?!?  Really like Jeff Lynne!

Deadmau5 - Moar Ghosts 'n' Stuff (Hard Intro Mix 2011)

i liked that. thanks.

now a little justice.


AC/DC -- Back In Black (Samples Remix) HIGH QUALITY ..::DUBSTEP::..

[Borris_the_Spider]

My first post I thought Id start here. An intro piece has to stay fresh for many, many listens and these never get old for me at least


Bioground - Velvet

I have loved this piece of music for years, and has a spooky quality to it, matches the suspense that Art has broadcast so well these many years.

If a more mainstream choice is prefered, I don't think you could go wrong with Mummer's Dance either

Loreena McKennitt - The Mummer's Dance

[Xitheron]

BT | "Satellite"

[Xitheron]

BT - Running Down The Way Up

[Zenman]

The intro to Tarkus by ELP as opener, if nobody's mentioned it yet.

Nice buildup (kinda like Ride My See-Saw), and definitely high energy.

[Howdareu]

Up the ladder to the roof - supremes!

[Albemuth]

I like the Tangerine Dream song Indigoo mentions above too.

I remember hearing this one on WXRT in Chicago â€" and then buying the cassette. Pretty tripped out electronic/synthesizer music.

Jean Michel Jarre â€" Oxygene (1976) â€" it gets into a nice, spacey gallop at about the 9:35 mark…Might make a good replacement for the Chase / Midnight Express pieces played on the old show…


Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene
