Also Sprach Zarathustra - Deodato (2006 space odyssey)

[@farai8025]

Space odyssey is a signature Deodato experience. My late father and his friends were avid jazz fans; we were jazz fan children. We too love jazz. It speaks a unique love, family, home, peace, all-things-are-possible language. Thank you for this quality complication and upload. I treasure the family Deodato vinyl. Am right here as 2023 plays out.

[@apol77lo]

As I recall, this was out in 73 in Maine. Reminds me of Billy Preston, Outta Space and Space Race. Great time for music.

[@tropsie11]

This is one of my "all time favorite" piece of music. Thanks for uploading it here. Brings back wonderful memories to times when I understood that music is age- and timeless.

[@43cobra43]

Jazz/Rock/Soul/Classical- it's all there in this tune. This turned me from a follower to an Apostle of JAZZ. LOVE IT!!!

[@ELGROOVER]

Toyokit Love this laid back interpret@ion, superb!

[@GregDad100]

A radio edit of this tune made it all the way to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1973. It was an era where instrumentals (even those with classical origins) were appreciated not only by the record-buying public, but by disc jockeys, as well. Those days are long gone, friends.

[@crazyfox564]

"bringing the groove" to a classic . Genius .

[@sauquoit13456]

On this date in 1973 {Feb. 3rd} "Also Sprach Zarathustra" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; eventually it would peak at No. 2 {for 1 week}and spent a total of 12 weeks in the Top 100...

[@almirsoares1113]

Esse cara é fenomenal. Em pleno 2020 ouvindo esse som super atualizado , como se fosse ontem. Essa gravação tem no mínimo 40 anos. Deodato , vc é um fenômeno.

[@kasteman1]

Best space-funk-jazz intro of all time in my opinion

[@Hanullist]

Yeah !!! One of the greatest sounds i heard, ever !!!

[@genegustafson715]

I remember hearing this on the radio on my way home from work back In 70's...stuck In traffic....only time I ever loved traffic.

[@LuannCox]

THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Great job ... i grew up with this music ...

[@stillayl9943]

Junior year in high school!:) This, on a Top 40 station!:) Set the playlist on its ear!:)

[@doublej59mvill]

AMAZING VIEW... it blends with the music... spaced out! thanks toyokit 4 posting

[@acostarod]

July 1975. My grandfather's (RIP) house. Sansui QS quadraphonic (1st in town). Green LP quadradisc of an unknown author at that time for me (15 yrs old). Grandad has heard it 6 months ago in Atlanta and had struggled in getting one for him. Saturday afternoon. Since then, amazed and delighted with Deodato. And about this piece, well, never tired of hearing it. And yes, I wet my pants that afternoon.

[@nameofthepen]

Never have I seen our planet look prettier! What an AWESOME video! Just fabulous! Thank you so very much for posting. 5*s and into my favorites forever, I think. :)

[@Robertwaynebly]

I have always loved this -- pure groovy and cool plus drama.

[@greggc3po]

Oh Please,please! You have got to be kidding me! This takes all the way back to the beginning of my life. Beginning with the start of college years. Right out of high school. WOW! What an excellent post too. Just too much man. Wow,wow! Yes,yes. Just beautiful representation. Thank you so much for taking me back there. All My Best to you Toyokit. Dont's stop there. Try something by Bob James. You'll see what I mean. TY Peace n Love. Class of '72

[@Bijan630]

Still amazing after all of these years! Thanks toyokit for sharing this.

[@AnaJil]

Wonderful piece, splendidly performed, really not boring ***** Many thanks lycanthrope1962 for sharing! Thanks toyokit for posting this video!

[@LaercioBunoFilho]

Deodato is one of the most creative musicians that i´ve heard.His style is unic. This arrangement for "Also Spach..." is just fantastic.

[@stillayl9943]

I would have loved to have seen it become Emerson Lake Palmer and Deodato!:)

[@280StJohnsPl]

absolutely beautiful ....nicely done !

[@srenee333]

This is just crazy good! I heard this in a move just the other day but cannot remember what it was. It fit right in with the scene perfectly. I had not heard this in a long time, almost had forgotten about it.

[@thehaze74]

Real music. I love listening to this CRANKED! The theme gives me goosebumps. Too many kids today can't understand music that isn't generated by some computer program instead of a human brain. If it doesn't sound like every other song they listen to it isn't worth listening to. Music should make you SOAR.

[@Groundwork94]

Thanks for reminding us! I remember so clearly standing in line in Miami to see 2001 back in early '68. It was such a pivotal movie - the music, the story. Happened onto this site while cataloging a long time collection of LPs to sell. Was a treat to be reminded of Deodato and Also Sprach Zarathustra!

[@elsantoenaccion]

orale, yo esperaba la versión original de strauss y me sorprendes con esta versión, me gustó bastante, excelente trabajo

[@jamesd9630]

Fantastic track and it reminds me of just about every gritty police drama from the 70s

[@wilfredocoronas8311]

BIEN , ADELANTADO. INCREIBLE. 2021

[@RichAdams21]

John Tropea's guitar solo is stellar.

[@harrisknight1347]

Hell yeah!

[@sturren]

Thank u for sharing this great theme. I remember we had the single ¡¡¡.

Ohhh this has been bugging me for ages thank you so much. I knew i recognised that tiny section. I was going through every dj shadow track i own scratching my head!! Its Deo!! thank you :D

[@jackwolf131]

This is so funky :)

[@EL0umo]

INCREIBLE no me canso de escucharlo

[@nameofthepen]

Lapis - you're totally right. A glaring omission on my part forgetting also to mention the beauty of the song, too. I was very enchanted by the whole enchilada! Over here now listening for about the 6th time. :)

[@nameofthepen]

I was the 3rd person to leave a post here. That was a year ago. And I'm still coming back and listening to this a year later... Magnifique! :-)

[@lennyface2586]

Do you still come back?

[@brainsareus]

saw him live at the palladium [theater] {circa- '77} on 14st in NYC, shortly before it was gutted, and converted into a short lived disco. i can remember the three horn players,at the beginning of zarathustra. it was great. deodato,was the opening act for stanley clark's band. thunder thumbs himself. great times,great music..

[@RKIRCHDO]

Incredible music and video. 1970's fusion at its best. Tx for posting!!!

[@navydave5]

In my humble opinion, this is the best version.

[@fangjangler]

I just picked this album up on vinyl, excellent condition, for $7.

[@jmhndrx6329]

Eumir Deodato,what a genius, this music is ageless,.He was as innovative as Weather Report

[@speedyplumb]

Awesome piece of music!

[@mannylara705]

the era when music is ageless, timeless, vintage , futuristic fr.Philippines

[@pianistabella]

Great combo of styles!!

[@1939lb]

top 3 greatest instrumental of all time

[@sardanaphalus]

Groovy, funky, kitschy, schlocky, cheeky -- but der kraftwerk and authenticity makes it totally transcending(, man). For those into the arty music out there, here's a "guilty pleasure" that has the guilt overrrrrruled. PS Dig those last fifteen secs' elec piano.

[@igusherculoid]

Atemporal! B.H., Brasil, presente!

[@bigblockbob1]

Great track. Haven't heard it in years. Fantastic.

[@alanparker86]

una melodia fuera de este mundo, IMPRESIONANTE!

[@Wally-H]

Went to see Deodato live at Ronnie Scotts in London about five years ago. He was backed by the absolute cream of British acid jazz musicians. I sat there, right in front of the stage, dumfounded from start to finish. One of the nights of my life - absolutely incredible.

[@tommasobelpanno4196]

"In space, no one can hear you funk" Probably one of the best youtube comments I've seen in a long time.

[@JimMarshall57]

The tune to play in the private jet with your best friends on the way to Vegas..

[@rwb010109]

Excellent song and photos,,RWB

[@annacronism]

dopeymark, I think we must have had the same album. Here's to being old enough to have heard this when it was first released. Anna

[@freoboy]

Geat theme and a great clip. Thanks...

[@sunflowerofpeace]

very cool groovy version,loooove it,total funk!!!

[@dearmalika]

Beautiful! I have no words!

[@iah8344]

A lot of road rage could be avoided or cured if car radio stations played these kind of fun and funky numbers with happy DJ's saying encouraging interesting things and fun facts about the music and musicians instead of angry talk spew...

[@ZioKikkoUT]

FANTASTICA!

[@MancM]

What a Ride... !? Both Audio and Visual.

[@looking21too]

awesome......nothing better than this !!!!!!

[@luberies]

Creo que este video con la música de "Also sprach Zaraturtra" de Richard Strauss y los arreglos de Eumir Deodato, son una muetra de lo sublime que puede ser el ser humano. .

[@Miesah]

love it!! thank you verry much..

[@stevelee7550]

Seems like appropriate Christmas music, though. Merry Christmas 2014 all you amazing wonderful peoples!!! 8)

[@JacquiCrawford]

Merry Christmas Steve....enjoy and stay safe...

[@stevelee7550]

Ditto, sweet Jacqui!

[@SteveHasACamera]

This tune has been stuck in my head all week, after remembering it as a kid. I’ve been trying to find out the name of it. What style is this? Funk? (Acid)Jazz? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1968 {April 2nd} the Stanley Kubrick's science-fiction movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" had its world premier in Washington, DC The following day it opened in NYC and the day after in LA And not surprisingly it won an Academy Award for 'Best Effects, Special Visual Effects'... Five years later the theme music "Also Sprach Zarathustra - 2001" by Deodato entered the Top 100 on February 3rd, 1973 and eventually peaked at #2 {for 1 week}... R.I.P. Stanley Kubrick {1928 - 1999}...

[@pandaeyes42]

This is freaking amazing!!!

[@lzorro9269]

Epic & Funky....

[@yerkeskid]

Takes me back to the mid 70s. Classic album and rendition of Sprach Zarathustra. Also, Check out SpaceHogs version, awesome as well.

[@AcepilotC172]

Awesome Video!!!!

[@jameslujack7598]

It took me a while to tune my ears to LATIN RYTHMS.I listened to a LOT.SANTANA, LOS LOBOS ,and stuff I cannot remember because I only had them on vinyl and wore them out. I like Deodato. He is creative .He takes a melody I am aware of( Baubles Bangles and Bells) and runs with it and makes it his own.....Wish I had my old Mongo Santamaria albums but here is the thing: I always have dug Latino Rythms.....I was just playing with your minds.....EL GATO.....Gato Barbeiri........

[@stasionisas]

Deodato, este teu arranjo é bom demais nêgo!

[@andreakenderova]

nice groove

[@atenista76]

I had the LP... kept playing it... neighbors must have thought I was out there..

And rest in peace one Arthur C Clark who wrote the original awesome book that inspired a generation to look to the stars.

Yes the book was great, he wrote many thought provoking books.

Good job! Thanks for sharing. Peace

[@shvetes]

Greatness!!

[@Delisle4]

I imagine myself working in space, looking at planet Earth from my office window and listening to this funky tune.....time to turn on, tune in and drop out!!!......later folks..

[@jimicmore1895]

Hello from the future2022 ✌

[@NarDiego]

Just one word: AWESOME ! but I don't think that Strauss would love it ^^

[@TheFunkengroovin]

Love Deodato!!!

[@MrAirborn.]

fantastic music gorgeus jazz

[@mwmcbroom]

An interesting video juxtaposition of the use of this piece of music. I saw 2001 A Space Odyssey in 1968 more than once and this tone poem of Richard Strauss will to me be forever associated with that movie. As for Deodato's version of the piece, it is in and of itself a pretty decent piece of music. But it inevitably gets compared to the original, and again, to me, it falls vastly short. It helps that Deodato's version is using actual NASA footage, the footage selected is not so compelling.

[@kahunadad]

EPIC GROOVE!!!

[@stjernemix15]

World Class Music!

[@sonoftheguitar]

love it..
