But, for the present moment...
I had noticed that some novels tend to drive my listening to a certain type of music
Indeed, that what I'm trying to do in these occasions is to continue or even heighten the feeling of the world being created in the novel with my own selection of music, much like a director does with the score in a film.
The very first time I noted this behaviour was when I was reading Iain M. Banks (The M. denoting that it's one of his Sci-Fi 'culture' novels) and the most apropos music was the excellent Talvin Singh album OK, particularly the 11 minute first track 'Traveller' which seems to fit right into the mood of Banks' world.
So, the first selection comes in the form of Scottish socialist sci-fi and musical Indian futurism...

I'll add some more present ones to this 'series' and see where it goes with whatever readings and listenings are prompted by my ongoing existence.
