Thin Air (album)
''Thin Air'' is British singer-songwriter Peter Hammill's 32nd solo album, released on his own Fie! Records label in June 2009. It was additionally made available as digital download through Burning Shed Records. As on his previous release, '' Singularity'', Hammill played all instruments, wrote all the songs and produced the album. The main theme of the album is disappearance, as Hammill told British music magazine Mojo in February 2009: "it became apparent fairly quickly that strong thematic links were running through the songs' lyrics: disappearance, change, loss, dislocation in various forms were stitched through all of them." Another topic reappearing in several songs is the one of the World Trade Center along with images of planes, though Hammill denied "any direct" reference to 9/11. According to François Couture of AllMusic AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entrie ...

Spenser (film Series)
Joe Mantegna portrayed Robert B. Parker's detective " Spenser" in three TV films on the A&E cable network between 1999 and 2001. Production Robert B. Parker had a significant role in the development of the TV movies (all three films were adapted by Parker, with his wife co-authoring ''Walking Shadow'') as opposed to the earlier '' Spenser: For Hire''. Nonetheless, he felt that the movies didn't get it right, not because of the performances but because of the limited budget. Parker had a small role in the first film, and cameos in the later two. His son, Daniel, and wife, Joan, appear in ''Thin Air''. Spenser's ally, Hawk, was played by Sheik Mahmud-Bey in "Small Vices", and returns in "Walking Shadow" portrayed by Ernie Hudson.

Thin Air (Star Trek)
''Star Trek: New Earth'' is a series of interlinked novels inspired by Gene Roddenberry's original pitch for ''Star Trek'': "Wagon train to the stars." Created by John J. Ordover, the novels follow the crew of the ''Enterprise'' as they escort a colonial expedition into a hostile region of unexplored space. The novels occur during the second five-year mission, sometime between the episode "Turnabout Intruder" and '' Star Trek: The Motion Picture''. The series was intended to be the springboard for a flagship new book line similar to '' Star Trek: New Frontier'', called ''Star Trek: Challenger''. Production John J. Ordover told Jeff Ayers, in ''Voyages of Imagination'' (2006), the concept for ''New Earth'' originated as "a personal reaction to '' Voyager''." He believed there was no stakes for those characters, no "emotional tie" to the region that ship was passing through. Ordover asked, “What if you went outside the known galaxy or outside the common area to find a new co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
