i think that the impression is an easy one to be left with,
and one can only credit that to the brilliant use of music
in the series. i recall during the intial broadcast waiting
eagerly each week for th next installment. sagan had a gift
for making what could otherwise be very dry and boring material
rather engrossing [once you got past his "billions and billions"
thing].

and if you had asked me a just few years ago i certainly would
have had the same impression that nearly all the music was
vangelis.
