Soundtrack Loops intros Alien Worlds – Retro Sci-Fi Soundscapes and Effects. It goes without saying that the best vintage sci-fi sound effects are made with the best vintage hardware tech and its contemporary boutique inspirations. Here on Alien Worlds: Retro Sci-Fi Effects we have just that, with Soundtrack Loops’ own Jason Donnelly as the controller.

This package of non-looping sound effects comprises 71 files with classic black ‘n’ white sci-fi authenticity: wobbly analog oscillators, rudimentary arpeggios, chattering circuits, and all the classic LFO modulations from pitch to noise. The paleo-ambient vibe is cold and distant, solitary and baffling, bringing to mind Eno’s simple but elusively deep Music for Films-era ruminations, as well as the best of the archetypal dronesmiths, academic electronic music soundscapers, and proto-industrial pioneers of early underground electronic music—bear in mind, these are sound effects created by a musician!

Soundtrack Loops presents Galaxy Gunslinger. Milan producer Belibat is back, hot on the heels of his last three Soundtrack Loops outings: Lo-Fi Drift 2, Jazzy Trip Hop, and Memory Wave 80s. This time it’s Galaxy Gunslinger, a cinematic construction kit that merges symphonic, retro rock and electronic styles into a hybrid presentation that sounds and feels familiar yet fresh. Here we’re treated to a soundtrack theme construction kit featuring 133 loops, neatly divided into nine folders full of instruments that deftly cross genres­—Belibat style! You get effected electric bass guitar and synth bass, space cowboy electric guitars, orchestral percussion featuring massive timpani and tribal toms, a full brass section with fanfares and big drama, and a strings folder packed with violin, viola, cello and double bass loops, with plenty of articulations on hand to keep your score sounding rich and real.
