As I've been reviewing the Yes studio albums, I have, of course, been listening to a fair bit of it recently. Having just played Homeworld, I seem to remember from an interview with the band that it was, in fact, the soundtrack to a PC or video game. Does anyone know what it was, and whether it was any good? ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

The game was "Homeworld." It's a great strategy game and I'm surprised it didn't get more recognition. ------------- Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal. |

Hey - thanks very much  I've now traced it and will probably get it and give it a go - it seems to have won a fair few awards. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

It's quite old now, but very very good, a bit like Sins of a Solar Empire.
I'd also recommend the expansion pack, Cataclysm, I think it's called.
Although it's quite a while back now, I remember being surprised that although I was listening out for it, I never actually heard the song Homeworld playing.

Homeworld (the song) was included as a track seperate from the game (albeit with some nice visuals.) Incidentally, the sound track for the game itself was very spacey and very good for a video game.
The game itself wasn't bad but it was overly difficult and the interface was a bit awkward. Just found my old disc of it and I'm wondering if I should see if I can fire it up on Vista or not. -------------
