Hey there!

Does anyone know where to buy this song? Title seems to be "The other side of the moon"?

It comes from an animation produced for the BBC and Comic Relief about 10 years ago called "Hooves of Fire". I'm sure that the DVD is still available from amazon etc. I think much of the incidental music during the film is Mark's as well, though could probably be described as "noodlings"rather than fully formed compositions.

If you do a search on Guy's forum you'll see that this is a bit of a sore point for him. Seems it was a real joint effort between him and MK and he was supposed to get joint billing, but Richard Curtis only credited MK.  :-\

Would be great to hear the songs properly though, there's one called Get Busy which is surely MK's only attempt at the disco genre.
