Neil Hannon Goes Intergalactic

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy has a touch of the Divine Comedy to its soundtrack...

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 26 Apr 2005

Extracurricular sort of a guy that he is, Neil Hannon has supplied vocals for two of the tracks on the Hitchhikers’ Guide To The Galaxy soundtrack.

‘Vote Beeblebrox’ and ‘So Long And Thanks For The Fish’, which outros the big screen version of the sci-fi comedy, were both written by long-time Divine Comedy collaborator Jody Talbot.

Along with Talbot’s instrumental pieces, the CD soundtrack also features tracks by Al Green (‘Here I Am, Come And Take Me’, Perry Como (‘Magic Moments’) and Betty Wright (‘Shoo-Rah Shoo-Rah’).
