This explains the relation between the album title and the moon (and Moonlight Shadow). http://www.lacoctelera.com/mikeold....re-luna -------------- And the man in the rain picked up his bag of secrets, and journeyed up the mountainside, far above the clouds, and nothing was ever heard from him again, except for the sound of Tubular Bells.

Clarke's 1951 short story The Sentinel I knew that The Sentinel was the name of a story by Clarke, but i didn't know it was set on the moon (and in the Sea of Crises) -------------- And the man in the rain picked up his bag of secrets, and journeyed up the mountainside, far above the clouds, and nothing was ever heard from him again, except for the sound of Tubular Bells.

I haven't read it yet, though. best regards amazarak -------------- Just hold your heading true Got to get your finest out Back to top
