The Quiet Earth

In 1981, author Craig Harrison wrote a compelling and cerebral novel titled, "The Quiet Earth" (adapted for the screen in 1985 by Geoff Murphy.) It is an intruiging exploration of mankinds self-destructive tendencies, fear of isolation, and the possibility of alternate realities.

MME is using the title for a five act space opera that shares many similar themes with the novel and film, though a radically different story. It consists of the following tracks:

1. Calling You
2. Prometheus of Mars
3. Eraser
4. Rainshine
5. The Quiet Earth

Due to the nature of the project the songs will be released out of sequence. Comments, analysis and criticism are welcome.
