I want to hear recordings from a stationary microphone on another planet's or moon's surface. I'm never interested in the recordings of anomolous radio waves emitted by planetary bodies... I want to imagin what it would be like to be standing on another world....

(still listened to all of the though)

the best are these two:
Saturn 1
Saturn 2

those two could easily be used in some kind of sci-fi action/horror game and would the perfect terrifying ambient sounds, especially knowing they are semi-natural.

i agree with djheater, having access to the truly natural, audible sounds on the planets surface would be awesome, but sadly I doubt there is anything other than wind. Reason I say that, are the sounds that are audible to humans are either from man-made machines or from other lifeforms. But it'd definitely be a neat experiment.

However, I think they are basically saying no sounds were in audible range because it had a built-in regular microphone, that captured the sound of rushing wind as the spacecraft plummeted to the ground. I think it landed safely too, and would suggest how they got the sounds of the planet itself (unless it crashed and they recorded the sounds from space before it crashed).

Weird, if you play that 2nd one backwards it clearly says "Paul is dead".

No it doesn't.

BTW It's supposed to be sounds of Saturn not sound of the dark side of the moon. :laugh:

EDIT: Actually I'm crazy about bending circuits and a lot of the raw sounds do sound strikingly similar to these!

This was made with common everyday items and with the help of a few analog synthesizers it emerged from the freaky highway seventeen. ;)
