| What to Listen to This Week?
I have another movie soundtrack for this week. It's the music to Silent Running, a movie from 1972. The soundtrack definitely has something from the 70's mixed with the vision of the future, where mankind is faced with the choice of preserving nature or losing it forever.
You can listen to it here:

That's it again for this week. Thanks for joining me.

Until next time,
Belane
