Hehe, yeah I can imagine it being a good song for a movie, but probably more to do with space...
Anyway the reason it has no singing is because it's Drum & Bass. Drum & Bass is very much like Dance, in fact it is a type of Dance music. It originated from hip - hop and hardcore (really fast dance music). I picked up a particular liking for this sort of music in Estonia (once part of the USSR), where they played a kind of Drum & Bass known as "Dark Side".
One Eyed Jack could be likened to Darkside. The evil sounding bassline, science fiction FX and general structure is very similar. The only thing that sets it aside is that it is not very complex, or particularly "rare" sounding. (Dark Side is supposed to be a bit of an Arcane Art, using VERY hard to aquire sounds in its general structure, including drums) I could easily reproduce this song, and have it sound almost identicle, because most of the sounds used in the creation of it are easily available.
Oh jeez, I've just accidentally given you a crash course in Dark Side Drum & Bass! Oh well at least you know what it's all about now.
