Track listing

Song information

The first track, "Intro", contains a sample from the documentary Hoop Dreams (1994) of William Gates, one of the basketball players followed in the movies, speaking from his recovery room after surgery. The commentary forms the lyrics to the track. The "Cold Water Music" contains a sample of "Maureen in the Desert", written by Carter Burwell and taken from the soundtrack to the film Psycho III (1986). The track "Ain't Got Time to Waste" is featured on the soundtrack of the European version of the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. The extended dialogue in the track "Demonique" was sampled from the John Carpenter horror movies, Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981). It features (primarily) the exchanges between the characters of Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) and Sheriff Leigh Brackett (Charles Cyphers). The song was mimicked for a television advertisement for the Toyota RAV4 in the UK in 2006.

Water Music (novel)

Water Music is the first novel by T. C. Boyle, first published in 1982. It is a semi-fictional historical adventure novel that is set in the late 18th and early 19th century. It follows the parallel adventures and intertwining fates of its protagonists Ned Rise, a luckless petty criminal, and the famous explorer Mungo Park - the first a purely fictional character, the latter based on a historical person. The book takes place in various locales in Scotland, England and Western Africa. It revolves around two Imperial British expeditions into the interior of Western Africa in an effort to find and explore the Niger River.
The novel is loosely based on historical sources, including Mungo Park's 1816 book, Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa. However, as Boyle admits in his foreword to Water Music, he does not claim historical accuracy or even faithfulness to the contemporary accounts, whose reliability is doubtful anyway.

Water Music (Handel)

The Water Music is a collection of orchestral movements, often published as three suites, composed by George Frideric Handel. It premiered on 17 July 1717 after King George I had requested a concert on the River Thames.

The Water Music is scored for a relatively large orchestra, making it suitable for outdoor performance. Some of the music is also preserved in arrangement for a smaller orchestra; this version is not suitable for outdoor performance, as the sound of stringed instruments does not carry well in the open air.

Structure

The Water Music opens with a French overture and includes minuets, bourrées and hornpipes. It is divided into three suites:

Suite in F major (HWV 348)

Suite in D major (HWV 349)

Suite in G major (HWV 350)
