This was not the first time that Oldfield's music had been connected with the books of Arthur C. Clarke. Prior to ''The Songs of Distant Earth'', Oldfield released ''[[Tubular Bells II]]'', which featured a track called "Sentinel" — the title of a [[The Sentinel (short story)|short story]] written by Arthur C. Clarke that later evolved into ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' (1968). Another track from ''Tubular Bells II'' is called "Sunjammer". The Arthur C. Clarke short story, ''[[The Wind from the Sun]]'', had the working title of "[[Sunjammer]]".
