Like Klosterman and space rock, and I know it’s just an excerpt, but I would argue that maaaybe mind-bending space rock sounds were kicking around before Bowie and the proto-metal gang.

Yep - very ‘spacey’ sounds. But not quite ‘rock’.
The first entirely electronic soundtrack.

This deserves inclusion in a space rock list and is almost mandatory

Amazing to think there is in fact only 5 years between this and Space Truckin’

Uh, I don’t know, but I have a feeling Chuck never really did the drugs he speaks of or he would know why it is called space music, and it has nothing to do with NASA.

After listening to that and reading about TONTO on Wikipedia, I need to add that album to my ‘must find/listen’ list. Thanks.

Loved that soundtrack! Especially the Sammy Hagar part of that clip.
But for the longest time it created legal problems with the release of the film on home media.

Now I wanna throw on a Cat-in-the-Hat hat and Mickey Mouse gloves, grab some glow-sticks, and rave 'til dawn!
And I still don’t techno for an answer.
