The Songs Of Distant Earth (Album)The Songs of Distant Earth is a record album, written and mostly performed by Mike Oldfield. It is based on Arthur C. Clarke's novel Songs of Distant Earth. It was the first album released as an Enhanced CD. Two different versions of the Enhanced CD content exist, however. The second pressing, released in 1995, contains more of the multimedia content including the full version of the "Let There be Light" video. The audio content is unchanged. The spoken section at the beginning of the album is Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders reading from the Book of Genesis while orbiting the Moon on Christmas Day, 1968. The Gregorian Chant on "Hibernaculum" is not Latin, but the chant on "Let There be Light" is. The Saami chant on "Prayer For The Earth" was composed and performed by Nils Aslak Valkeap. The chant is from the movie Ofelas ("Pathfinder"). Track list - In The Beginning - (1:24)
