Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

This playlist ended up being a lot more about spaceflight than aviation. Should've seen that coming, I guess.

I considered submitting this but everyone's heard it. Shame because there's definitely not much airplane theme going on. And no shame, I actually enjoy this song.

 
I also considered a number of TNG score material but I feel iffy about instrumental tracks in these. It doesn't drive the theme home as efficiently as some related lyrics.

Cool idea as an opener for the list. Some nice post-rock stuff. It doesn't get boring and gets you in the mood to dance. But I don't dance. 6/10.

P.E.P.E. -
Shadilay
Another dancy tune. Kinda calypso-y. Reminds me of "Down Under". I dunno. I'm bobbing my head. 6/10.

Last Flight Out -
Plus One
Wow we're really hitting the pop-music hard on this one. This sounds like Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Boyz II Men and R Kelly all in one. Here comes a bad rating, i.e. the lowest I go with in these games... 2/10.

Pere Ubu -
30 Seconds Over Tokyo
Please don't be pop soft rock R&B boy-band shit... OK we're good. Thank God. I hear some groove. I hear some bass. I hear some drugs. Good stuff. 8/10.

The Gathering -
Liberty Bell
This has a cool spacey build-up. Like her vox too. The atmosphere hits the mark. Not super deep or anything but enjoyable. 6/10.

Hot Snakes -
LAX
Punky, fun and very simple. 6/10.

Egypt -
Touch Ground
Super instrumentally. Doomy rock stuffs. Almost metal at times. Vox are cool. Getting down and dirty. 7/10.

Catherine Faber -
Providence Skies
What in the Renaissance fuck? I likes haha. Ain't typical that's fo sho. Fetch me my lute, squire! 8/10.

The Lillingtons -
Black Hole in My Mind
Solid driving catchy punk. Cool bass. 8/10.

Air -
Seven Stars
Those drums and haunting vocals. A countdown too! And bass! 9/10.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer -
Karn Evil 9 3rd Impression
This sounds like it's gonna be epic. A little wonky and meandering. 5/10.

John Murphy -
Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor)
The perfect closer for this playlist. Space travel put to melodious perfection. 10/10.
