On another message board I frequent (Sound Opinions, a Chicago-based music board & radio talk show) I'm putting together a Space Rock Box set, tenetively titles The Utopia Device. I'm not getting as much support & suggestions as other box sets are ('80s Metal Box, for example), so I'm looking for help elsewhere to collect songs for the tracklisting. Some of the tracks I've ripped or collected from the web are:

• Hawkwind- "Earth Calling/Born to Go," "Brainstorm,""Sonic Attack," "Silver Machine," "The Psychedelic Warlords (Disapear in Smoke)," "Uncle Sam's on Mars"
• David Bowie- "Space Oddity," "The Man who Sold the World," "TVC-15"
• Blue Oyster Cult- "Black Blade," "Godzilla,""Astronomy"
• Ayreon- "The Dream Sequencer" & "2084"
• Acid Mothers Temple- "Psycho Buddah" & "Pork Bombs in Aztec"
• Helios Creed- "Cruising the H" & "Space Sexy," maybe "Isolation Tank"?
• Heldon- "Ubik," maybe "Mutant Monkey" or "Only Chaos is Real"

Among the songs or bands I'd like but can't find:

• Pink Floyd- "Astronomy Domine," "Interstellar Overdrive," "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun"
• Spacemen 3
• Spectrum
• Spritualized
• EAR
• Warlocks
• Darkside
• Flying Saucer Attack
• BOC- "Great Sun Jester"
• Rush- "Cygnus X-1"

I'd appreciate any help in tracking down copies of these for free or very cheap.

Also, if anyone's interested, there's been (maybe half joking) interest in an Exotica/Lounge Box. If anyone wants to go to the Sound Opinions forums & put themselves forward as the editor of this box set I'd bet they'd get it.
