    This visualization presents 22 X-ray binary systems that host confirmed black holes at the same scale, with their orbits sped up by about 22,000 times. The view of each system reflects how we see it from Earth. Star colors ranging from blue-white to reddish represent temperatures from 5 times hotter to 45% cooler than our Sun. In most of these systems, a stream of matter from the star forms an accretion disk around the black hole. In others, like the famous system called Cygnus X-1, the star produces a hefty outflow that is partly swept up by the black hole’s gravity to form the disk. The accretion disks use a different color scheme because they sport even higher temperatures than the stars. The largest disk shown, belonging to a binary called GRS 1915, spans a distance greater than that separating Mercury from our Sun. The black holes themselves are shown larger than in reality using spheres scaled to reflect their masses.

    I understand their approach of the "focus on the music" but hell you can not even get a beer in a dark area like that.

    Perhaps their approach of having people focus on the music is to prevent them getting a beer.

    Ok, I just found out about this wonderful piece, 'The Grand Canyon Suite' by Ferde Grofé. It's been sourced for three tracks in stage 2 of EATEOT (C4, D1 and D5).

    I'm not very familiar with American composers and their work. This makes me want to find out more about them. Apparently, Grofé also played a major part in making Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue a success by adapting the score for orchestra.

    Original 1932 recording, conducted by Paul Whiteman.

    Later recordings with better sound quality are also worth checking out.

    Yes I meant the Disocgs link, 97 one.

    I haven't heard the 5.3.11 one, is it floating around or do you actually need to get the tape to hear it?

    From the description of the tracks in the 5.3.11 thread I think it's the one that's known as Live Jam Session Vol. 1. Not sure, but pretty sure.
