I read the COSMOS book several years ago in my early teens,
but it wasn't until now that I've finally gotten my hands on
the famous TV-series, hosted by Carl Sagan --- the DVD collector's
edition is readily available around the world.
As I began watching the first one-hour episode I was quite excited
I must admit, but soon doubly so: In the introduction I thought I
could recognize the musical theme. Indeed! Autechre have used a
loop in at least one of their live-shows (I've heard one from
once they played in NYC).
Being quite humoured, I continued watching. I've only gotten seen
episodes 1 and 2, but before going to work today I caught a few
minutes of episode 3. Heh, and to my growing excitement I found
that during a discussion on modern pseudo-science astrology, the
music in the background was the one that Boards of Canada had used
as a beat and bass loop in "Aquarius"! Heh. Gives a good reason
for their choice of songtitle.
I haven't seen the whole series yet, but I hope I'm in for more
surprises.
Cheers!
