Now Wieland, I would have agreed with you on this one... until I
listened to it again and it does sound very much like Columbia. More
so that 'We are now at' and any other variation. I am also listening
to the UK CD of it, from TWW Box Set.
You listen again, several times and you will hear it even starts with
a hard 'C' which 'Well.. ' does not. Sorry.

Ahh, Nostromo. From another brilliant film. The best sci-fi in the
World in fact, the set was even re-used for Hitchiker's Guide to the
Galaxy.
