[the albums is actually called "High Life", I believe]

This seems to be a semi-FAQ these days.

The theme is from "Wuthering Heights."  To most people, it's not immediately
recognizable as such, but you should catch on by the end of the track. 

Yes, it's been mentioned on rec.music.gaffa several times over the last
year or so.  

It's a cool tune and worth checking out.  I don't know how the rest of the
album compares, as I only have the one track.
