Many years ago
I used to watch a programme on an obscure German satellite channel called RTL. The programme was called Space Night and basically consisted of satellite views of the earth, some of which would last up to 20 mins. The slow, trippy, drifting visuals were absolutely fucking incredible. Mandlebrot sets would appear in mountain ranges, fractals sprung out of artic ice sheets and my mind dribbled out of my ear.

Soundtracks included Steve Hillage and even Joe Meek one time. Mostly I would put my own tunes on.

It was. I video taped HOURS of it and would watch it back on shrooms.
Apparantly there is a DVD available.

That does sound good
the sort of thing massive HD tvs (and drugs) were made for

If you have the right drugs it doesn't matter...

That sounds very much like 'my kind of thing'

Cant vouch for this clip as I cant view youtube in work. Also come under the moniker 'Earthviews'

There's loads on youtube
it seems to have quite a following

A cult favourite
I will see if I can track down a torrent later this evening. It did end up becoming a bit more 'knowing', flashier intro's, shorter sequences etc. When it was on initially, it felt a bit more sciencey, if that makes any sense.

Still brilliant though, and there should be a channel showing live earthviews, broadcasting 24 hours a day.

A while back there was a radio station that just played birdsong
that had quite a following

I was out on site with a guy from the Environment Agency a while back
got in his car to drive to another location and he put a CD on and was like "what do you think of this?"

it started out sounding like some really chilled out ambient dance stuff, I was waiting for the beat to come along when he said it was a CD of bat noises....

I'm not sure if that's cool or a little bit mental

( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 16:57, Reply)

he was a bit mental
now sadly deceased. some kind of aneurysm, in his late 30s, very outdoorsy healthy guy.

That is sad
and a good enough reason for me to sit on my arse and play Fallout New Vegas all weekend (instead of doing some exercise)

Good man!
I've just got to The Strip, having taken a wrong turn into Deathclaw Rapeville.

I'm playing it for the first time tonight
I actually feel the same twinge of excitement I had as a kid when someone leant me a new Amiga game at school and I couldn't wait to get home.

If you loved FO3, you'll love this
It's not without bugs, and it can be difficult in parts, but it's awesome fun!

I did love FO3
but I probably wont play on hardcore mode (for the first playthrough anyway)

If I remember rightly, it was a test signal used by Classic FM
It was basically a series of field recording, recorded in a field by the sound of it. Pretty relaxing stuff actually, better than the advert strewn shite that it currently pumps up.

Yup, that's it
you're a wealth of information aren't you!
