About SonicVision:
SonicVision is the latest planetarium show at the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium. Combining state-of-the-art imaging techniques with a soundtrack mixed by Moby, SonicVision takes the Pink Floyd laser shows of the 1970s to a whole new level.
Music featured includes tunes from Radiohead, U2, David Bowie, Coldplay, Queens of the Stone Age, Prodigy, The Flaming Lips, Fischerspooner, Spiritualized, Audioslave, Stereolab, Boards of Canada, David Byrne and Brian Eno, Goldfrapp, Zwan, White Zombie, and Moby. It's truly an entrancing experience -- though I recommend making sure you're not likely to get sick as some of the animation moves quite quickly and can make you feel as though you're spinning.
You can get a great idea of what the show is like from this SonicVision E-Card.
