Re: [microsound] children of men/futuristic music

Haven't found any downloads online yet, either - it's prolly wasn't a 
big seller beyond a few serious dance afficionados in Oz (my copy was 
a blind chance pick from the $2.00 cut-out bin at a record store 
about 15 years ago).

I did a little searching and found a few sites with more info:

Music Australia, a service of the Australian National Library, has 
details on the CD (good resource, BTW)

If you can't find any audio online, I'll put up a couple of tracks on 
my website. Definitely worth listening to.
