Lining up almost nicely with the 37th anniversary of the launch of NASA's Apollo 13 mission, we listen to selections from James Horner's score to the 1995 film adaptation. Amongst its stars was actor Bill Paxton (1955-2017), who was also active in music. We also pay tribute to Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi (1930-2017) and one of his most important instruments, the TR-808.
