As a rule, I detest Audiotunes. They are mainly for "rappers" and "vocalists" whose voices are so flawed that they need modified audio to make their "music" sound halfway decent. But here, I feel like this is different. For one, Carl Sagan is dead and thus, isn't going to be able to take voice lessons in order to put out an album of his own anytime soon. And he was so eloquent and passionate about his life's work that many of his quotes sound like they could be poems. I think if Audiotunes could ever be used correctly, this would be a good example.
I also like the synthesized piano and the ambient feel. While it doesn't blow me away with its 1981 level of profoundness, it is very catchy and nice to listen to when daydreaming. Props to the composer.
