I am trying to imagine 2001 WITHOUT the music and I cannot. 2001 is one big silent movie and depends on its music to put it across. I have the Alex North score on CD (OK, it's only half the movie) and I can readily understsnd why Kubrick stuck with his working tracks. To call the use of the Blue Danube "jarring" is, I think, really stretching to make a point. Like the William Tell or the Barber of Seville overtures, I can no longer hear them without thinking of the Lone Ranger, Bugs Bunny, or 2001. If you agree to the Ligetti's for the discoveries, how can you dismiss the Strauss for the opening
and the learning/transition scenes? I think the best thing about 2001 IS its use of familar music (Ligetti excepted in 1968).
