Hi! I'm Alek, else known as SpacePioneer. I'm a soon-to-be-18-year-old guy who loves sci-fi and is obsessed with outer space. In fact, my interests in sci-fi and space heavily affect my music taste. (more on that in a minute) I can and often do art, and I love to write. I hope soon I'll be able to produce my own music, and at the moment I'm pretty close. As for what I like to listen to, these days I've narrowed what I like compared to what it once was. I used to listen to a lot more varied music but nothing really stuck out to me any more than anything else. Eventually, I found a kind of music I really liked, but it was pretty passive. I enjoyed it and all, it made me feel when nothing else would and whatnot, but it didn't really inspire me. All that changed when a friend recommended that I listen to the band Starset. Their sci-fi and, especially, space themes immediately drew me in as well as having the style that I already liked at the time. Since then much of what I listened to before has disappeared into the background, and for awhile Starset was about all I'd listen to. Well, more recently I've begun to start branching out again, at least a little, as I've found Celldweller/Scandroid/Circle of Dust (Yes, they are all the same person and I like a ton of their music in each project) and Project Vela. I've also started to listen to soundtrack-y sounding YouTube space/sci-fi music mixes that are pretty cool. I wouldn't mind finding more bands that I can really get into, but these days those are few and far between. I'm becoming one of those people who knows what they like and sticks to it with an iron grip, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. If I find more that I like that's good of course, but it's getting harder to find that. Some bands I liked before that I still do but just don't find myself listening to much now are Broken Iris, Skillet, Three Days Grace and Thousand Foot Krutch.

So...hi!

Transmission end.>_

Awesome to see another Circle of Dust fan, didn't think I'd ever see that name show up here. Brainchild is an absolute underrated gem of 90's industrial metal.

Welcome to MB!

And I'll just put this masterpiece here:

Sci fi music? Someone needs some mother****ing Hawkwind in their life!

Unitron · 10-15-2018, 02:32 PM

^One of Hawkwind's best songs, though this is my favorite personally:

That solo is some of the best shred to have ever come out of space rock.

The Batlord · 10-15-2018, 02:36 PM

My own personal god-tier Hawkwind song. That ****ing riff, dude. If Warrior on the Edge of Time made Lemmy lose interest in being in the band then that reflects poorly on him as it's massive.

Oh hell yes.

I could post a ton of sci-fi masterpieces, but here's some killer industrial metal that would probably be more up the OP's alley:

My mom told me that she almost named me Alec. I used to listen to TFK and Three Days Grace back in high school.

Do you intend to format all of your posts like a radio transmission?

I'm interested in outer space as well. Are you aware of the secret space programs that many nations have? Do you think that mankind has been to the moon [did we get through the Van Allen radiation belt]?

What is your take on the recent flat earth conspiracy that has been floating around the past couple of years?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and welcome to the boards!

The following document was recovered from a hard drive almost certainly originating from before the Final War. For archival purposes, it has been transcribed below:

Wow! I did NOT expect so many replies in such a (relatively) short amount of time! Guess I'm just used to smaller forums/groups.

Also, I've been listening to the music you guys have been posting, and I have to say, it's awesome!

Cool! Alek is actually my nickname, but it might as well be my name as it's what most people online know me as.

Well...I think even if I varied it some it might get kind of repetitive, but I could do things like this post too, and that might be interesting.*

Hm...depending on what you mean, I may or may not. I'm not sure.

I do firmly believe that mankind has been to the moon. Compared the vastness of space, it's really nothing. Plus, there's so much evidence for it (I mean we have rocks from the moon that they brought back!) that I don't see how someone could think otherwise, but to each their own I guess. And as far as the Van Allen belts...they took precautions for that, and even then the added exposure isn't much higher than going to space in general causes.

As for the flat-earthers...I'm not even sure what to think. It's like trying to convince someone, who doesn't believe that they exist, that they do. You're just going to end up chasing them around in circles. Metaphorically, and maybe literally. But I mean, if they refuse to see what is clearly more reasonable as reality if you really think about it...what can I do?

Yes, thank you

* It is unclear what this may mean at this time.
