The show is 50 minutes long, The audio portion will be dubbed on a 100 minute tape, tim? has kindly supplied more goodies for the B-side of this tape, which is [drumroll please] the Toronto rehearsals (1987) albeit whitout the last song, but hey, it's only a filler, so no complaining that it's too short ..
What is 'Colors of Infinity'?
(from a post by Mark Brown (brown@iowave.physics.uiowa.edu))
Last June, I e-mailed to the Discovery Channel to ask about a 1994 English home video release (Prism Leisure Video PLATV 956) that was reported as being seen on the Discovery Channel in Canada this year. I asked whether and when U.S. viewers might see "Arthur C. Clarke's Colours of Infinity: Exploring the Fractal Universe", for which Dave Gilmour did the music soundtrack.

It's about 55 minutes long, and features commentary by scientific luminaries such as Mandelbrot himself (who first used computers to explore the fractal set that bears his name). Arthur C. Clarke (who never experimented with recreational drugs) mentions the psychedelic quality of the computer-animated images (mostly of the Mandelbrot set) during his narration. They do have a marvelously hypnotic quality, to be sure. Dave's music goes with the images well, being background music that enhances rather than dominates the experience. He used guitar and other instruments. There are bits that will remind you of PF songs, but nothing too close. There are some cool jungle sounds.
