OFF TOPIC: John Carter Songbook

[Duane Hoyt]

I picked up a rather interesting cd the other day, it is called The John
Carter Songbook.  It is by a fellow by the name of Sten Hanson, a Swedish
composer. It is an import cd on a Swedish label.
It seems he took the idea of what Martian music sounds like based on the
character John Carter, from the Edgar Rice Burroughs books.
It is ambient/electronic. Six of the tracks are what John Carter says
Martian music sounds like, and the seventh track is based on a Michael
Moorcock short story, and is called The Birthplace of Matter. It doesn't
say what the story was called, but I assume it was the same title.
I would like to thank fellow Hawkfriends Henrik and Joe for adding a little
more information on this fellow, as I have never heard of him before.
Each track has a bit of a story to it describing it.
As to not fill this discussion group with off topic noise, I would be
glad to discuss this cd privately via e-mail with anyone who is interested.
I would be more than willing to make a few copies of this if any listmembers
are interested. It is pretty good if ambient/electronic is your cup of tea.

Have a good day,
Duane
