35 M4: Sci-Fi References in Music List
Moorcock, Michael and the Deep Fix:
A companion single to "The New Worlds Fair" was also released called
"Star Cruiser/Dodgem Dude" (on Flicknife records).
Moore, Gary:
"Nuclear Attack" from "Dirty Fingers" is about World War III; the
title track from "After the War" seems to focus on the same topic.
Moraz, Patrick:
The entire theme of the album "i" is SF; also see another LP,
"Transplanetary Flight".
Moroder, Giorgio:
(with Philip Oakey [Human League]): "Electric Dreams".
The title song for the movie with the same name. It's about a
computer, who developes emotiones and love for his programmer.
Actually Moroder did a great part of the soundtrack (and has done
a lot of soundtrack work in the past).
Mortifee, Ann:
Has done a few albums with fantastic themes on them. Her album
"Journey To Kairos", includes the song "Centaur", about the mythological
beast, "Shankarananda", about the afterlife as described by Eastern
religions, "Streets of Banaras", which seems to be about a rather
surreal search.. On her album "Born To Live", she does a song called
"Merlin" about the mythical wizard, and a pair of songs at the end
called "The Companion/Phoenix" about a strange creature called
The Companion that attends an old man, or something like that.
(There's also some speculation that it comes from the ST:TOS episode
about Zephraim Cochrane.)
Motley Crue:
"Shout At The Devil" [from the album of the same name]
includes a spooky voice-over about a future earth being run by a totalitarian
government [demons? One-World antiChrist government?] and imploring the
listeners to 'Rise up/and Shout at The Devil'. Other interpretations, though,
consider this as an exhortation to rise up against evil.
Move, The:
"Yellow Rainbow". See also Electric Light Orchestra.
Murder the Disturbed:
The EP "Genetic Disruption" contains "Walking Corpses" which is about
robots and "Ultimate System" which is about time travel.
Murphy, Peter:
The song "Shy" has a segment called "The Sister of Sleep" which
is based on the comic "Sandman". He also is the physical basis for the
character Klaus in the comic book Night's Children. (See also Bauhaus.)
