The sounds of 50s sci-fi movies evolved in a more electronic direction as the 70s and 80s arrived with its synthesizers and computers – but those bleeps, sweeps and sequences have never fallen out of favour.

These experimental sounds can be tricky to source or create yourself, so why not shortcut straight to the good stuff with these great free sound and sample packs from BandLab?
