    The used Old Spice for Arthurian Knights?
    Surely it was still called Ancient Spice then?

    Wouldn't it be New Spice?

    I think the main theme from Star Wars has the best chance of being remembered...perhaps not like Beethoven's Fifth (which gets so much recollection support from commercials), but of all the film music of this day and age, that has probably left one of the most lasting impressions. I'll bet even the Indy Theme can't touch it for recognizability.

    Either that or the theme from Gilligan's Island.

    Nar.
    It only consistently features in my oft-mentioned and expounded-upon list of top 5 favourite films because I heard some good things about it from some vague acquaintances from ex-colleagues some decennia back...

    NP: Shades Of Django - Stephan Grapelli

    Inspired by this earlier listen, I put on this recording of the old violin-wielding warhorse from The Hot Club The France. He cut this 1990 CD when he was 82 (!).

    Notwithstanding the disk's title, the focus on this recording, understandably, is on Grapelli, and it's a good thing too. While the guitar work isn't up to Django's demonic fingerwork, it's excellent to hear Grapelli has lost nothing of his touch: his timing, improvisation talent and sureness and nimblemness are as acute now as they were in 1933. A wonderful piece of gypsy jazz work, by one of its unassailable masters and pioneers, and absolutely spellbinding to listen to in stereo.
    Highly recommended.

    Just the the opposite. Back then it wasn't old yet. It was "Modern Spice".

    It's okay Martijn, not to worry. Just put your feet up, take your pills and fall asleep in front of the TV - the nurse will wake you up when it's tea time.

    You know, because you're old. And I'm young.

    Why, you young whippersnapper. I oughta...oooohhh...in MY time we used to...Oh! Youth of today... in the days of the Great War we started work in he factories when we were FOUR! Not like the spoiled brats of today with their Mintennoes and their Playstops. We Didn't have X-Boxes. We had D-Boxes. In black and white. Built character. Not like today.
    Damn kids.

    I remember: not a bad movie, quite atmospheric...but the music was strangely offputting. Very 1915-ish.

    It's a vocal Christian Christmas album. However, the first track I am referring to is an all-orchestra track (save for a couple 'Ah' vocals). It's short, but still pretty darn cool. cool
