Tom's Text Classical Music Impression. this is definitely wrong:
Da-da da dah! Da-da da dah! da da da daaa da daa dah!
for uk (and poss colonial) listizens, it's off that Old Spice advert.
still, CB and Orff generally is top-notch stuff.

gerry anderson lives! ok, now i'm scared. very scared.

on a (subtly and only very, very slightly) more serious note, i think a
collective effort at spacewar soundtrack compilation might be
interesting. if not possible. i would add: sibelius, 'pelleas et
melisande' (music from The Sky At Night) at the start or end, the bit i
mentioned from Carmina Burana, and My Kingdom by enigmatic UK oddness
band
Future Sound Of London, as it samples Blade Runner something chronic. if
i'm seriously off-beam here, stop me.

anyway: jon t, yours could be the second games house to release an
album.
sadly, GW came to this conclusion a few years ago. and who says they're
entirely derivative ...
