Hayling

In lieu of anything sensible (and while I catch up on email) here's a wonderful song - one of those pieces of music that you'll either identify, or will perhaps recognise from TV and film soundtracks. I listened to it a lot while writing House of Suns - there's an echo of the "lyric" in there somewhere, I think. And the video contains more genuinely weird and startling imagery than in any science fiction film I've seen lately.

    Not bad music, if a little boring but neat video-made me think a little of the closing scene in 2001 a soace Odyssey!

  3. Well I suppose its kind of relaxing-mood music, and i do lime my ambient stuff, when I get chance to listen to it that is! Its just difficult to concentrate on a piece with a 3 year old running around shouting!

  7. Like the track; nice background for reading sci-fi. Have just done a review of Terminal World -- loved it. If interested, check out my blog: http://reviewernikibruce.blogspot.com/2010/03/science-fiction-with-human-touch-in.html

  11. Great song. Came from nowhere and will remain with us for quite some time. F.C. Kahuna's other stuff is also pretty good, if you like this track...
