![]() The Classical Music in Stanley Kubrick’s Films: Listen to a Free, 4 Hour Playlist You can’t buy this album new these days, but used copies can still be purchased online.

Both of those independent but complementary works grew from the seed of “The Sentinel,” Clarke’s 1948 short story about a dazzling and mystifying artifact left behind by an ancient alien civilization. If all this strikes you as an unconscionable intermingling of book and movie, remember that Kubrick’s 2001 doesn’t straightforwardly adapt Clarke’s 2001. ![]()
