For the film by Powell and Pressburger see Gone to Earth (film).

 Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: David Sylvian - Gone To Earth
Gone To Earth shows evidence of an artist ignoring this trend entirely.
"Gone To Earth" continues the theme of mental discipline for specific purposes -- this lyric mentions martial skills in conjunction with the complete immersion of the individual into a specific "inner peace".
Fripp's unaccompanied guitar line is amazingly harsh here, as per the nature of the discipline in question (could this be indicative of his subsequent teaching methods in the League of Crafty Guitarists, one wonders?).

New noble gas data from volcanic gases reveal how volatiles (compounds and elements such as water and nitrogen that are gases at high temperatures at atmospheric pressure) were incorporated into the Earth during its early history.
The neon isotope measurements suggest that the primordial volatiles were implanted by solar wind into dust or small planetesimals before they coalesced to form the Earth.
DAVID W. The outer Earth grew largely from material added by impacts from planetesimals, rather than by capture of dust grains from the solar nebula — or at least that's the inference from the latest geochemical analyses.

In addition, Mars' orbit is much larger than Earth's, so the chance of an Earth rock hitting Mars is about 10 percent that of the same thing in reverse.
Even so, the authors point out, "it could be further argued that if Mars material reached Earth, Earth material might have been reached Mars and other planets, perhaps carrying with it viable microorganisms and spores residing in the near-surface rock and soil.
Thus Mars may in fact have already been contaminated with Earth life." On the other hand, Phinney and his co-workers say, "the conditions on Mars are sufficiently extreme that any microbes that survived the trip in space would probably be killed on its desolate surface.

A 110-minute version of Gone to Earth was released in England in 1950, but Selznick (who was married to Jennifer Jones) was unhappy with Powell and Pressburger's cut of the film.

 Barclay James Harvest : Gone to Earth - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Their pretensions to progressive rock all but abandoned, BJH here invites comparison to contemporaries like Supertramp, REO Speedwagon, and Fleetwood Mac (some of whom were similarly tagged with the prog rock label early on).
Even at their most ornate, songwriters John Lees and Les Holroyd were simple balladeers at heart, and the decision to unclutter their arrangements allows the material's intrinsic beauty to shine through with clarity.
For this reason, Gone to Earth is regarded by many as the band's best album, and judged on a song-by-song basis, it's hard to argue against it.

 Gone to Earth, a CurtainUp London review
An adaptation of Mary Webb's 1917 novel, Gone to Earth tells the story of Hazel Woodus (Natalia Tena), a seventeen year old girl who has been brought up by her father in rural farmland, free from all constraints.
Hazel has an affinity with nature, she cannot tolerate cruelty to animals and cries at the mere suggestion that in stepping on a ladybird, she may have bereft a ladybird family of its mother.
In Gone to Earth there is a strong injection of much needed humour.
