I found that the soundtrack was a stellar component of the film. Very excited for its release. Hope I can find updates here.
I saw the movie on Saturday. As soon as I got home, I started searching for the soundtrack, but I couldn’t find it! MEMORANDUM to the producers of the movie (and the movie soundtrack): Always release the soundtrack along with the movie. Plenty of people walked out of that movie theater saying, I WANT THAT! I am suffering! Please, release the soundtrack ASAP!
Does anyone know why the soundtrack wasn’t released on iTunes?. It’s on amazon and google play but I really wanted to buy it from iTunes.
While watching the Apollo 11 trailer i recognized a song from quite awhile ago. The only part of the lyric i remember is a phraze with “my imagination”. Can someone provide the name of the song. Its driving me bonkers! Thanks so much!!
Disney’s “Pure Imagination”, Willie Wonka
The song is called Pure Imagination but it’s not Disney. It’s actually Paramount/Warner Bros., and the movie is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
I think it’s the Pixel version of Pure Imagination

on the return to Earth, that is an old song – it sounds like Bob Dylan.. Don’t hear it on any of the track samples… anyone have a lead?
The song is “Mother Country” by John Stewart, although I’m not sure if they used one of his versions of the song or if it was a cover.
Why no CD release? I mean LPs are cool and all but I don’t have a turntable. A CD release on a good label like Phillips, or Deutsche Grammophon would sound excellent.
