I have always loved Klaatu.. Especially the first two albums. On 3:47 EST  is 
a tune called Sub Rosa Subway. This is about Alfred Beach, who with his own  
money, excavated under Broadway and in 1870 built the first subway in America. 
 It used the same pneumatic tube principal that banks use today at their  
drive-thru windows. Tons of information available on the net. And it was just as  
described in the song, with giant aquariums, a grand piano with a pianist  
playing Brahms and Mozart, giant crystal chandeliers... Amazing.
 
Also, I particularly like the song. "Hope" It is, after all, the greatest  
gift of all.
