I'll be damned...someone else that actually listens to the soundtrack to TRON... }:)

Given that it's one of Wendy's better works, of course.

Tron soundtrack

What amused me is I can't remember those tracks you mentioned in particular, and they aren't tracks I possess, so I can't even remind myself. I have other tracks, though... :)

I think all told I got six points. :p

[jenkitty.livejournal.com]

I got a grand total of 3 points.

[elfs.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll let you have a giveaway: if you've ever seen Serial Experiments Lain, "Duvet" by Boa is the theme music.

[dr-memory.livejournal.com]

15 points, and some interesting pointers for new music. Thanks!

[pixel39.livejournal.com]

I got three points, and then only on a technicality because I own "Tron".

[whipartist.livejournal.com]

Three points, two of them for MC Hawking. What does that say about me?

[sierra-nevada.livejournal.com]

And I thought I was the only one who liked the music from Due South. And The Nails!

Brubeck's "Take Five" is a jazz classic, of course.

Hmm 11 points for me, but how do you handle the almost painful transitions from genre to genre?? Laurie's deeply thoughtful music (if you ever get a chance to see her live do so!) to Aphex twin?? Wendy Carlos to Chumbawamba?? Me and my mate listen to most of the groups on your list, but he makes up genre lists so we are not left in the lerch when songs change.

I dunno. It's never bothered me, particularly, to do such radical genre-shifting. I guess I'm just used to it.

[kenshardik]

15 for me as well. Yay Freezepop!

[elfs.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I thought a few others were giveaways. The theme to Airwolf? Who hasn't heard that?

[whipartist.livejournal.com]

Me. What's Airwolf?

[elfs.livejournal.com]

The geek TV show of the mid-80's. Screw Michael Knight and his plastic car with its snot attitude-- real geeks wanted to get into Airwolf (http://timstvshowcase.com/airwolf.html), the super-helicopter that made Blue Thunder look like the Disney property it was.

And we still do (http://www.ernestcline.com/airwolf/Airwolf-Ernie_Cline.mp3). (Warning-- big (but very astute) mp3).

[whipartist.livejournal.com]

Aaahhh, a TV thing. That exlains it! I turned off the television sometime in the late 70s, and haven't really watched it since.

[pixel39.livejournal.com]

Oh! THAT Airwolf. Ok, 4 points.

Mmmm, turbo-powered helicopters.

where?

where can I get this mp3?
Sylvester Levay, "Airwolf (extended aerial)"

I have been looking for it for ages, I had it 2 years ago but lost it, its not worth buying the whole album, thats the only good track.
