The title of the album 'The Songs of Distant Earth' is taken from a book by Arthur C Clarke. If I remember correctly it's a collection of short stories by the famous science fiction writer. I assume the title 'Ascension' might be the title of one of the stories contained in the book. Not sure.
Mr. Clarke was and still is one of my favourite authors. Read the book many moons ago when I still had hair and a brain. I quite enjoyed it at the time. If you read the liner notes on the album Authur was quite impressed with the sonic interpretation of his work. Wonder when Mr. Oldfield is going to release the next Tubular Bells disc. A sure buy for me regardless.
