Other sf-music things are _In_Pierson's_Orchestra_ and one about a band composed of space miners in Orbit or some such, by Stanley Robinson. Also Sucharikul's Light_on_the_Sound series has a lot to do with music, as he's a composer, and working on an opera with Gene Wolfe last I heard. For really GREAT music sf, how about Anne McCaffery's _Crystal_Singer_ or even the Dragonsinger books? What about Piers Anthony's _Chaining_The_Lady_, with a whole race of aliens adapted for creating music? I really liked this stuff, before I got so highbrow. -- From the center of *~ a Paisley Pentagram... ** ** Laurence Roberts *~* ...ihnp4!stolaf!robertsl **** **~** **** **~*** *** ~ **** **~ **** **** ~@@@~**** ** ~ ~******* ~@@%&@@ ` ** *** ~ @@ ~@@@(-:@@` ~*** ***** @@@@@&@@@ **** **** ~ `~ **** ********
