Editor Comments
Stories abound as to the relationship of "Echoes" (side 2 of the original release) with "2001: A Space Odyssey". The last segment of the movie is exactly the same length as Echoes and visually / aurally synchronises at a number of key points.
On a more tangible note: "Echoes" was used to end a recently 5.1 remastered cult 1972 surfing movie "Crystal Voyager". The last 23 minutes of the movie is devoted to footage shot either from a tubing surfboard, under waves (looking up) or in close proximity to breaking waves. Appropriate given the "underwater ear" image on the cover.
