Sorry I did`nt really notice the music


stephen_gusterson - 21/11/04 at 11:13 PM

i didnt think she was that much of a looker (but moreso than Clarkson!)...... and didnt she say that she had done 15,000 laps? Thats a lot of practice!

ahem..... ahem...


stephen_gusterson - 24/1/05 at 10:40 PM

argh!

missed that the first time, but would you have thought a techno song was called 'addagio for strings'

I do remember edison lighthouse - i was about 10 when that was out

so, you seem to have got 1st prize in november

matt_claydon - 24/1/05 at 11:46 PM

I was going to reply when this was first posted, but then I saw that marcyboy had already given Orbit as an answer so didn't bother. When it was repeated on tv the other day it reminded me of the thread so I checked back and lo and behold it had popped back to the top still unresolved, so I thought I should put you out of your misery


marcyboy - 25/1/05 at 11:17 AM

why thankyou it's nice to get recognition
first time i heard barbers addagio for strings was when i saw platoon and since then have heard it numerous times on movies,
it's a bit like listening to E.L.P's fanfare for the common man,
then listening to the original-quite moving


DarrenW - 25/1/05 at 02:36 PM

For those of you who dont know it or cant remember how it goes, this link has a 29sec intro. Unfortunately the song doesnt get 'going' until about a minute but you'll get the drift.

www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,956966,00.html

Its a classic, brilliant at good volume in garage during the build with my mate John Smith or Miss Smirnoff in attendance.


Volvorsport - 25/1/05 at 03:21 PM

no , no ,no nono no no , nono , i dont know it

Probably because it's not a techno song, at least the original wasn't (the pontoon version). I think the composers name was Barber.

stephen_gusterson - 25/1/05 at 10:52 PM

when I kazzad it, i got 3 versions

william orbits IS a techno version - and it does take a bit to get going - and was the song that was played for most of clarksons hot lap

i found another techno version tooo

and the one from platoon - which ive never seen - which is a lot more sombre and about 9 mins long rather than 6 mins for the techno version

Brilliant song (it's frequently on my MP3 playlists) and a fantastic film. One of those ones where I hardly ever see the beginning but randomly find it in practically the same place every time I watch it.

I tell you, that moment when *** finally gets it from the VC when he's running after the helicopters and they can't get to him to rescue him fairs brings a tear to the eye!

Cheers,
James


*** deleted for SPOILERS. Everyone who 's seen it will know what I'm on about and I don't wanna spoil it for those that haven't!
