I was wondering if I'd get the right title. The book where they are waiting for the light from the supernovas, and the alien music composer? I was sure it was AaDB. Yes, I see now it is Look to Windward. I have not read AaDB yet. I think LtW shows the Culture perfectly and hints at Special Circumstances. This is the best starter book, IMO. Kevin T.
