while i've yet to watch 'children of men', i'd
nominate the bar "music" from a scene in one of the
most celebrated sci-fi turkeys ever released as very
futuristic, or at least strikingly alien / need i name
it? 

imdb.com/title/tt0185183/  

the sound was not unlike a couple of radios giving off
sharp, yet not loud, jolts of feedback as you scanned
their dials ... layered a top a vaporous blanket of
bassy static  (this may have been the ONLY thing this
movie had 'gotten right')
