NASA Voyager recordings

I didnt up these, but they're too amazing to not share. The first 3 volumes are 320 kbps while the last two are only 128. Each volume is around the half-hour mark

Symphonies of the Planets Vol. 1
Symphonies of the Planets Vol. 2
Symphonies of the Planets Vol. 3
Symphonies of the Planets Vol. 4
Symphonies of the Planets Vol. 5

In the 70's NASA sent out the Voyager I & II satellites to explore the planets in our solar system. They recorded the natural electromagnetic fields of the planets & moons they passed. NASA then converted these waves to frequencies within the human spectrum of hearing. The result is surprisingly haunting. My favorites are volumes 1 & 5. Words really fail at this, so just listen.
