God, I hate that sort of thing... I remember some interview where Juan Atkins said he didn't quite understand how people could be into techno and not like sci-fi. It's slightly weird to me that people who like sci-fi tend to get drawn into that "filk" sort of scene! I once asked a bunch of people who like Iain M Banks' Culture novels what music they'd use as a soundtrack if the novels (which always seemed very "techno" to me) were produced as films, and people were suggesting Travis, Radiohead, and stuff like that. So I'd be cheeky and say that "filk" isn't the musical heritage of science fiction, but instead the musical heritage of science fiction *fans*... which I often like to think of as two separate things :) Brendan Legal Disclaimer This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
