The Hagar Trilogy – three techno-thriller, crime novels set in south Wales and Africa, were written over a 7-year period and were always envisaged to be a series of films. Hence, it would seem logical to have a music soundtrack to accompany them. The following tracks are taken from the books.
Ctrl-Alt-Delete has a large selection of songs, artists and music mentioned within its pages. The lyrics often refer to a particular scene, action or emotion within the story and can be seen as a soundtrack to the novel. The music also complements the filmic nature of the text.
