composed by L. Ron Hubbard himself, with help from Scientology session men Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Nicky Hopkins.

I'm in the middle of Terl the Security Detector. Eesh.

Somewhere in my stack of vinyl LP's, I have a "soundtrack" for Battlefield Earth (the book, not the movie!!) I bought it before knowing the background behind his whole deal.

The music sounds like it was created on one of those little 20-key Casio keyboards, and written by a fourth-grader.

you guys better stop making fun of that music or you're so not going to reach OTVIII.

Bah, the Great Xenu laughs at all you pathetic OTs.

Holy crap, I am so sending them my psychiatry bills.

J. Arthur Hastur · 21st February 2006, 03:05 PM

That's some deranged stuff there. You could scare Xenu away with that music, or at least irritate your base Thetans.

I think it's fascinating that you can read all manner of Scientology literature and never get any indication that 'ol El-Ron has been dead for 30 years.

Wait... what!? No no, he's just moved on to another earthly vessle.

Oh, and I'm going to declare that music dreadful without bothering to listen to it. I might be missing out, but based on his other *cough* works, I'm just going to chalk it up to statistical probability.

Is that the same as the one in the link?

J. Arthur Hastur · 22nd February 2006, 08:04 AM

El Ron is never dead if we keep him in our hearts.

Aw, just like my grandpa.

Only replace "heart" with "locked kitchen cabinet."

The cover is different but some of the tracks sound familiar. I'm afraid to listen to it again.

J. Arthur Hastur · 22nd February 2006, 08:15 AM

I hope you left him an airhole.

Beleth · 22nd February 2006, 03:11 PM

I bet L Ron could hit TWELVE holes-in-one on his first ever round of golf!

And that's just on the back nine!

delphi_ote · 22nd February 2006, 06:42 PM

Now I understand why Scientologists are always complaining they're posessed by anguished spirits.

a_unique_person · 24th February 2006, 01:17 AM

God Damn, Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke. I love RTF, especially Hymn to the Seventh Galaxy. That LP is fll of the most amazing, intense music. Why did they have to let LRH steal their souls.

J. Arthur Hastur · 24th February 2006, 11:43 AM

He didn't steal their souls, he stole their Thetans!

Robaato · 25th February 2006, 11:24 PM

Well well well, it looks like the blog post and the associated MP3 files have been "disappeared"...

Who could've seen that one coming?

Kopji · 26th February 2006, 12:45 AM

Humm, might have been removed by music lovers. Here's some others:

I emailed Station Manager Ken about this and he said that particular blog entry was never intended to be permanent, to pre-emptively avoid any trouble from Scientology.

I'm just sorry that many of you will never get to hear its multifaceted, synth-heavy delights.
