Yes.  And the snowman as well but everything I have read points to the Catch-22 character as being the point of this song. My family name is Snowden. When they turned the guy over in the movie and he was, in effect, wearing my dad's fatigues I almost threw up. A little too real when your dad had just come back from Nam.

The mountain in Wales is Snowdon, not Snowden.

They put on a great show a few years back. Can't wait to see them again.

I thought this was Coldplay at first. But still, it's outstanding.

this track made me turn the volume down.  i especially dislike the ascending electric violin sounds.  i am so beyond star trek.

i really like this song... if RP is playing this, maybe Swervedriver (Mezcal Head) should be on the play list. its the same sound but 13 years earlier. this to me is clearly a rip off of that cd.

I thought this was going to be Flaming Lips (before the singing started).  I was excited, but then let down...but not too far, I rated this a 7 in the past, let's see if it holds up!

That was Yosarian (sp) and that book defines the word "funny."
Major Major, who was in when he wasn't, and out when he was in.
Milo Mindbender shorting the cotton market by bombing his own base...
The patient in the hospital with a total body cast, which had a tube from a bottle running into him and a tube to a bottle running out of him. When the bottle on top became empty they simply took the one that was by now full from the tube running out, and switched them around.
The movie didn't touch the book for genius and character development. I give Catch 22 a 10
and this tune a 5.

Funny, I could have sworn it was a monster from Saturday Afternoon, creature double features. At least it sounds like a monster Godzilla would have fought.

a most excellent read.

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to.

Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22," observed.

"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

I like that creepy, science fiction movie howling at the beginning. It reminds me of the Star Trek theme.

Having walked up Mount "Snowdon" (Wales) and then listening to this I can confirm that both are excellent for totally different reasons..........

It sounds like the background music to a bad sci-fi movie from the 60's.

And after i wrote this I took a look at the cover art above...there you have it!

Wasn't this used in the first "Heavy Metal" movie?
Or at least the angelic chanting part I know for sure.
Or did they sample a 20 year old obscure background sound from a highly under rated movie?
