Music For A Lost Horologist: A Bone Clocks Playlist

Music For a Lost Horologist is a mix of music that appears in The Bone Clocks, music that I listened to as I wrote the novel, and music that Marinus might have on her iPod.

It's an odd mix with high peaks and deep troughs in mood and pace, as well as variations in genre, but in this respect it reflects the novel. I hope Radio 3 natives might find some of the 1980s rock and dance tracks interesting, and I hope Radio 2 citizens can enjoy the classical, choral and acoustic sections. For the most part, the tracks alternate between instrumental and vocal.

I hope you enjoy the playlist's twists and turns and bridges.
