OK. Just forget my entry. This is awesome.

I'd go with "Zarathustra", referencing Richard Strauss' "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" aka the theme to "2001: A Space Odyssey". It's based on the work of the same name by Nietzsche, which explores the ideas of eternal recurrence and the ubermensch/overman/superhuman, a central prophetic character that represents the ultimate evolution of man in a simultaneously futuristic and ancient way, which is the duality I love about so many great sci-fi works. The mixture of the primal and the intellectual, the mystical and the technological and the way they become blurred the farther they are from our own concepts of "real". I'm more of a fan of the concept and the way it dovetails effortlessly into great sci-fi than the literary or musical works specifically, but there's a nice symmetry to it all.
