STAR ONE BIOGRAPHY
Star One is a band conceived by Arjen Lucassen. The concept is near-identical to that of his main project Ayreon (concept albums with multiple vocalists and styles), yet Star One was a one-off project. An album, Space Metal was released, along with a live DVD/CD set called Live on Earth. Each song on the Space Metal album is based on a different science fiction franchise, including Alien, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars.
Those songs that are based on films or television shows are as follows:
On CD 1:
Set Your Controls - Back To The Future
High Moon - Outland
Songs of the Ocean - Star Trek IV
Masters of Darkness - Star Wars Trilogy
The Eye of Ra - Stargate
Sandrider - Dune
Perfect Survivor - Alien
Intergalactic Space Crusaders - Blake's 7 (television series)
Starchild - 2001: A Space Odyssey, and 2010: The Year We Make Contact
On CD 2:
Spaced Out - Dark Star
Inseparable Enemies - Enemy Mine
Lift-Off on Disc 1 is an instrumental intro to the remainder of the album, and as such is not based on a work of science fiction.
