the empire of glass
Speaking of Doctor Who-themed music… You’ve all been waiting for a band that takes its song titles from Doctor Who books and audios, right? I know you have. The Empire of Glass is that band, with titles like Zamper, Father Time, Interference (book 1 & 2), The Holy Terror, The English Way, and some that are a bit more obscure. Their influences include “Dr Who: Snakedance” and “molecular science”. So there you go.
The music itself is mostly ambient chillage with spoken lyrics. It’s nice enough, but nothing very special - although I’ve only heard the first album. But who cares about that, they have a song called An Unearthly Child!
And while I’m on the subject, Blectum from Blechdom’s Robophobic has some samples from Robots of Death.

Of course, lest we forget Chicago’s Hero of 100 Fights, who released an EP called The Remote, The Cold, with songs such as “Interference” and “Faction Paradox.” And one (or more) of their members were in a band prior to that named for Stephen Marley’s 4th Doctor MA, Managra…

Oh yeah, and EOG’s label is called Megropolis1, from “The Sunmakers”
So, er, yeah, something tells me they’re fans.
