It was a short film about the restoration of a branch line with steam trains. Incantations was used as a musical backdrop throughout the film, the chugging train like string rhythms merging film and music beautifully. Infact poetry was read out over the music aswell. I saw it in the early 1990's but I'm sure it dates back to the late 70's or early 80's. I recorded the film but as I found it just flicking through I missed the start and in youthful stupidity only recorded the bits with Mike's music. Does anyone have a copy of this film or know where to get hold of or even know of it's existence? -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres. Andrew Taylor's Mohribold album has proved very popular with fans of symphonic-rock, prog-rock, psych-folk and indeed Oldfield's classic albums! www.andrewtaylor.bandcamp.com Back to top

Steam into Summer has now been posted on the BBC archive website. I've not watched it yet but suffice to say the programme starts with the opening strains of Incantations...magic!
