I got an interesting MP3 today. Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi. It sounds identical to the classic Delta tune by Hubbard, only it's made for the movie "Koyaanisqatsi" made in 1983.
Did Hubbard "borrow" the entire soundtrack fom the movie?
Maybe Chris knows something about this.

Delta made out of moviesoundtrack?

Hi Martin
> It sounds identical to the classic Delta tune by Hubbard
But it isn't identical. It's inspired by, but the actual notes are different,
the rhythmic structure is different, and it's legally distinct. I could
go into detail about it, but it would be terribly tedious!
However, that was where the inspiration came from. It's in STIL, too.
It's a similar story for IK and "Goodnight Mr Lawrence". Both are
pastiches.
The Delta In-game is a pastiche of "On the Run" from "Dark Side of the Moon" and other Phillip Glass stuff, which Wazzaw sent me once.
Very interesting. But still Delta is a legally distinct tune.

That's right. Plus, the second section of the title theme of Delta is actually 100% Rob's original work (hence the title tune inspiration from Koyaanisqatsi is only to 0:52).Chris Abbott wrote: However, that was where the inspiration came from. It's in STIL, too.
The in-game tune is inspired not just by On The Run, but a couple of other tracks from the Koyaanisqatsi film, namely "Pruit Igoe" and "Resource". I have the soundtrack on DVD-Audio and the film on DVD, so I guess I'd kind of recognise it. Note how the STIL quotes "inspired by" in its comment as well which backs up what Chris says.
