Alt-soundtrack to “Silent Running” – 65daysofstatic
The instrumental “post-rock” band 65daysofstatic released the album Silent Running in 2011. It was originally performed live at the Glasgow Film Festival as an alternative soundtrack to the movie Silent Running. Funding for the making of the album was obtained via an Indiegogo campaign that raised nearly four times its original goal. It was released on vinyl copies to those who pledged to the campaign. A digital version is available on the band’s store page.

A couple of tracks from the album are available for listening on the band’s website. And there is this video from the Indiegogo campaign:
