Theme music

The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert – I put it together from the following two creative commons sources: thanvannispen and archive.org

I haven’t had a chance to listen, but this has already become my favorite episode, because the letter R stands for my favorite album, Relayer. Can’t wait to listen!

Kevin,

This was a fun episode to listen to, and I liked everything you had to say! You do make one error, though: you attribute the fretless bass sound on “Run Through the Light” to Chris, but the bass on that song is actually played by Trevor Horn. Chris plays piano on the song. Having said that–thanks for another splendid episode!

As in ‘set phasers to stun’? Oh no, I mean photon torpedoes. I will listen to that track again and see what I think! Thanks for pointing that out.
