Damn, what's that song during the opening bit? I can't quite place it and it's driving me crazy! Fripp & Eno? Cluster? Something like that.

yea this is some interesting insight...it helps fill in the gap and connect the dots with all the goings on i'd say

but i dont think thats skinny puppy....sounds too much like it was made for the show or something imo (but it still sounds cool)

thanks for the link man

No, it's not skinny puppy or something made for the show. I'll figure it out. There's some Harmonia in a later bit so it might be them.

Anyway, I haven't finished watching it yet but very interesting documentary. Thanks for the link.

Aha, I got it. The song at the beginning is Eno's "The Big Ship" from Another Green World and then throughout they repeatedly play "In Dark Trees" from the same album. I never realized how much that album sounds like something Moebius and Plank would do. Anyway, great music for a political documentary.

I'm sure it's Eno! ("another green world" i think)
