Best known for his mega-selling Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield's The Songs of Distant Earth is inspired by the Arthur C. Clarke book of the same name.

The animation appears to have been made with Autodesk's 3-D Studio or some similar package and looks great. You are sucked inside a giant space craft and transported to a futuristic city. A strange creature metamorphoses into a chair. There's very little in the way of interaction - you simply sit back and enjoy the show. The visuals really do add to the music and there are apparently plans to develop a longer version.
Verdict:
Not much in terms of interactivity, but this isn't always
a bad thing. A nice little bonus for Oldfield fans.
