@mn5 Fuck yeah, now you’re talking. David Arnold put out a remix album years ago and this one gets a good thrashing in the JC household (and car) pretty often. Needs to be loud.

Now we are in John Barry film music territory I’ll leave these here:

That is absolutely terrific. What a fucken cool mash up of themes.

As for Midnight Cowboy well Faith no More of all people did a cover of that…..and we all love a bit of FNM.

Back to John Barry…….shit, what a genius. This score is chilling…..

…..and this is just cool as anything.

I love one of the YouTube comments…..

“This theme makes me wanna goto an apartment building and fight everyone and work my way up to the top floor and kick some ass”

If you want to include APP then it has to be Sirius as it's played as intro music for so many sports teams.

Absolutely…..but I always thought of it as the intro to Eye in the Sky….not it’s own song as such ?

Siruis is a great intro, but Mammagamma is the big instrumental track on that album.

Favourite of the Glimmers.

The Eagles "Journey Of The Sorcerer" may be strangely familiar to some folks

[Stockcar86]

After writing and producing Bat Out Of Hell, Jim Steinman did his own album, including this great instrumental orchestral track

[Stockcar86]

Maybe classical music does not count, but Sky's version of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is all kinds of awesome. Maybe I played too much Gyruss as a kid (this was the music for that game), but the addition of electric guitars, and most importantly drums to this tune makes it rock. It starts slowly, but once the drums kick in...

@stockcar86 Peak 70's self indulgent "rock"?

[MN5]

In a similar vein to what has come before it I’d better include something from my third favourite guitarist, the godfather of shred ( which is possibly not a good thing ).

These guys were ahead of their time. Playing to a COVID audience in the 70s !!!!

I was going to suggest this myself and even listened to the full length song last night. Self-indulgent is right.

Maybe some King Crimson next like "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part One".

[dogmeat]

@bovidae I like Fripp and early KC(have very fucking album) but that's a bridge too far.

Here's Fracture instead

[dogmeat]

after all that self indulgence give 'em a bit of Kiwi

You have to go pretty far down the 70's self indulgent rock to surpass Rick Wakeman's three concept albums in that period

I can imagine it would be something nice to listen to while at the dentist
