I want to start with the last piece - which referes to Capt Jocelyn's creepy,but inspired, captivating and utterly moving skills st the very BEGINNING of the book. Obviously Chic was right to put it at the end as I am sure his intent was not to start everything off creepy. But here's the thing that excites me: when I first read the book years before Chic's work on it, I immediately had it come to mind that this haunting, creepy piano of Jocelyn had its perfect representation in Ian Umderwood's piano intro to Frank Zappa's live debut of "Little House I Used To Live In"
And I was eager to see what interpretation Chic would have - and to my astonishment, his is so SIMILAR to Undewood's that amy closer of a resemblance might have brought copyright issues into the mix! And this is a GOODthing because it confirms that that creepy solo from Zappa's masterpiece, and its song title, have just uncanny interpretability to this story, To The Stars as also a perfect sound track for it! Chic's "space portal" interludes also have no better parallel than the effects similar that Zappa has made with such ambiance. I think what comes into play - and WHY - is Zappa also has some extremely intimate awareness of space travel, and Little House ... really speaks of nothing short of what To The Stars relates - my two cents. Chic brought it all back home!!
