good question.
the problem with asimov's writing is that it's verry journalistic.often relying on detective mistery and facts,solving of the problem,and pure logic.
when i first read Clarke's 'Songs of the distant Earth' i almost cried.when i passed the interlude i even had to stop for awhile.between every line u read - how lonely does it get?-.the story was soaked with feelings (not those Danielle Steel im-all-alone-nobody-loves-me-boo-hoo type),a true question every person is born with-why is the Great Frontier so hollow?...and the destruction of Earth just adds it all up.....always a good background for 'spaced out' music.
im not degrading Asimov, he is brilliant in the same SF field Clarke is....just that transforming his novel into music would result in....something 2 electronic for my taste.
....still, Big O. could pull it of....my vote is in.
