You missed out mine!

I wrote a piece called "Childhood's End" back in 1983, before I knew of any of the others. A Google or Yahoo search should have picked it up (probably on page 1001 though!) I got the title from Clarke's novel (still one of my favourite SF stories)

My piece is now only available as a MIDI file; it forms the central section of this piece. Feel free to have a listen: (sorry - post edited because I entered the wrong link!) http://www.herring.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/work53.htm

(Watch out though, it's 26 minutes long! )

I knew Watcher of the Skies was about Childhood's End, but it isn't in the title like the rest.

I think at least a couple of the songs were after the book.

Marillion for me too - Wow I did not know there were so many "Childhood End"s but I was definitely aware of the Arthur C Clarke Book - and it is a great book

That's my favourite ^

I haven't heard a good deal of those, but I bet they wouldn't match up with VDGG's version anyway.

Clarke's book is an all-time favorite of mine.
