The song, subtitled “A Garden of Personal Mirrors”, was written in 1968 by the film’s marketing strategist Mike Kaplan. Kubrick proposed it immediately following an unsuccessful pitch by MGM Records, who wanted to release a single to tie in with the film, and amid reports the Beatles were also writing a song. Presented by Wave Theory as a historical release, 2001: A Garden of Personal Mirrors adds a new chapter to the film’s mythology. This limited edition 7” vinyl will be available for the first time ever on 26th November 2021 2001 is infamous in the annals of film music history for the way that Kubrick abandoned Alex North’s original score in favour of classical and popular pieces that have become synonymous with the movie. Following a digital release last year that caught the imagination of the film’s fans, Wave Theory is now releasing a limited edition vinyl that will give the opportunity for soundtrack aficionados to own a piece of movie history. Mike Kaplan explains, “The Single’s intent was to capture the different responses 2001 was generating from audiences and the media, the many levels of interpretation and appreciation, from its hypnotic visuals to its metaphysical illuminations. We also wanted to instil curiosity among audiences who had not yet seen what was becoming a cultural phenomenon.” Co-founder of Wave Theory Records Dan Jones said, “Attempting to write any music for Kubrick would be a daunting task, as Alex North — and now we discover Mike Kaplan — were both to discover. Both of them are examples of the complex creative interactions that Kubrick’s films distilled.” ‘2001: A Garden of Personal Mirrors: a lost song for 2001: A Space Odyssey released 52 years late. Hear it via Wave Theory Records: We think that someone should compose a song in this manner for every Kubrick film.’ things magazine ‘Wow…A SONG FOR 2001 I keep listening to it Just FASCINATING. There is nothing I don’t love about this. How truly odd, bold and arty it is. “Reach Out and Soar,” indeed!’ Stephen Rebello, writer of Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho ‘I gave the song what I believe is its first airplay on my Scala Radio Show. Audience reaction was utterly polarised, but I have the suspicion it will become a cult favourite. It is very ear worm-y.’ Mark Kermode, Film Critic, The Observer ‘It not only captures the intellectual and questing nature of the film, but is a wonderful example of late ’60s avant garde songwriting, thereby matching in music what Stanley was accomplishing on screen.’ Michael Singer, author of Film Directors: a Complete Guide Artist Mike Kaplan Genre Soundtrack Label Wave Theory Records Buying Options 7" Single Format 7" , Single Condition New Country UK Track Listings 2001: A) Garden of Personal Mirrors Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Soundtrack View Product Quick View Andra Day The United States vs Billie Holiday Soundtrack | Warner Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 13th August 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andra Day The United States vs Billie Holiday £19.00 Genre: Soundtrack Label: Warner Records SKU: 0093624883388 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 13th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nashville Cast The Best Of Nashville Americana / Country | Big Machine | 180g, 2LP Released 20th March 2020 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nashville Cast The Best Of Nashville £29.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Big Machine SKU: 3003698 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 20th March 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rick And Morty The Rick And Morty Soundtrack (Loser Edition) Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 28th September 2018 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rick And Morty The Rick And Morty Soundtrack (Loser Edition) £31.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1265X Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 28th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jon Brion Lady Bird (Indies only exclusive) Soundtrack | Fire Soundtracks | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd February 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jon Brion Lady Bird (Indies only exclusive) £21.00 Genre: Soundtrack Label: Fire Soundtracks SKU: FROST005LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Alfred Hitchcock & His Music Soundtrack | Milan | 180g, 2LP Released 13th July 2018 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Alfred Hitchcock & His Music £29.00 Genre: Soundtrack Label: Milan SKU: 3299039801628 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 13th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lalo Schifrin Bullitt Soundtrack | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd October 2017 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Lalo Schifrin Bullitt £34.00 Genre: Soundtrack Label: Speakers Corner SKU: WS1777 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd October 2017 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Konami Kukeiha Club Contra 3: Alien Wars – Original Game Soundtrack Soundtrack | Mondo | 180g, 1LP Released 7th April 2017 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Konami Kukeiha Club Contra 3: Alien Wars – Original Game Soundtrack £29.00 Genre: Soundtrack Label: Mondo SKU: MOND107 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Soundtrack | Walt Disney Records | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th August 2017 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 £24.00 Genre: Soundtrack Label: Walt Disney Records SKU: 8736874 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Susan Justin Forbidden World OST Soundtrack | Death Waltz | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd March 2014 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Susan Justin Forbidden World OST £22.00 Genre: Soundtrack Label: Death Waltz SKU: DW20 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Silicon Valley: The Soundtrack Soundtrack | Mass Appeal Records | 1LP Released 22nd September 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Silicon Valley: The Soundtrack £19.00 Genre: Soundtrack Label: Mass Appeal Records SKU: MSAP0043LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Soundtrack Start again
