Movie Night #15 "2001: A Space Odyssey"

Electronic Music Through Movies is back, in a new location. Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is one of the greatest science fiction films of all time. Although the soundtrack is classical, HAL9000, the computer robot antagonist is the electronic music-related aspect.
