ICP's "Miracles" didn't make the list?

Pretty cool, AQ got a shout out on the Scientific American's website, in a blog post about "science-inspired" songs!

Fun list, it even includes a track by Portal! We'd second the suggestion by one of the commenters that Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" should be on there too. What else is missing? Maybe some Carcass (medical science, right?). And something by Anthony Braxton, one of those compositions of his with a title like physics equation... oh yeah, that's right, what about Physics?

Sub-atomic particles are better at making music than most humans...

Thanks to former AQ staffer Alison for sharing this with us, from the BBC, an article entitled "God particle signal is simulated as sound".

Pretty amazing. What do you think those samples sound most like? Delia Derbyshire? Bruce Haack? Tod Dockstader?

We can only hope the Large Hadron Collider releases a record soon. Sound like a good band name, anyway.
