@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.
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 ?

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

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

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...

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".

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

this one makes me happy, some may need to FF to about 1.30 to pick it

@taniwharugby took me a coupe of bars.
Bastard. Now I have to watch that video again.

@mn5 We had a thing at work where we got people along for a "motivational speech" once a month and Rick drew the short straw one time. He was fucking hilarious. Nobody is more aware of his self-indulgent wankery than he is. It was honestly just a non-stop production line of calamities and bullshit from his career. I remember he said he had a roadie who would crouch down by his feet under the huge wall of keyboards and mix him drinks all night. He reckoned he had played on hundreds of artists' recordings over the years, usually for a beer or a curry or a few quid. Apparently he was in an early band with Marc Bolan.
