The sounds contained within this electronic work represent this otherworldly presence, hovering, floating, shimmering, watching, reaching skyward; against a backdrop of post war austerity and a population both optimistic and fearful about what the future might hold.

-- Composed for Musicity by Simon James to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Skylon.

The Simonsound are Simon James and Matt Ford - they make dramatic music, radiophonic electronics and switched on Moog covers. Their debut album 'Reverse Engineering' was released in May 2010 .
