Ah, Ricochet. Helps him get into writing mode !

Approximately 90 seconds of Ricochet played.

Interesting to hear TD music with him reading out a few lines of his novel over the top.

Got a feeling that this has been reported before, because I'm not a fan but I already knew he liked TD. Interestly Science Fiction author Alaistair Reynolds is also a fan, he's even has a planet called Tangerine Dream in one of his books. That's a place I'd like to go.

Yes I remember reading he liked TD somewhere. Read one of his books, loads of cool music that Rebus was into. Watched the TV series which was excellent.....no mention of TD though :evil: :wink:


In respect of Reynolds, any idea which of his books has planet Tangerine Dream ? Will have to read that :)

Hoping to get "Blue Remembered Hills" ? or similar name soon, once its printed in paperback and not costing £18.

That's awesome! Have not read him yet. Now reading the new (and so far fantastic) book by Peter F. Hamilton (Great North Road).
But back to topic: The genius Fantasy author Brandon Sanderson has also stated in interviews that TD is music he likes to listen to while writing. :-)

No idea at all. It's just a very brief mention not an essential part of the story at all.

I love his stuff. Not read anything by him I didn't like.
