Does A Robot's Life Flash Before it's Dying Eyes?

Rediscovered this nice track I did for a movie called "The Surge" (aka "The Source"), available on DVD. The track called "Vertigo - Epic Remix", is in the Trance style. It was an attempt to bring the intelligent orchestral writing of Bernard Herrmann into the genre of electronic dance music. The effect is that of being in a spiraling vortex. To me it gives feelings of great nostalgia, but of course of a past in our future. It reminds me of the sadness a future machine lifeform might have as it died slowly, remembering all of the good things that made life worth living. It's also reminiscent of "Blade Runner", which of course is based on "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?".
