    What is your favorite musical score in classic video games? For me,
    Gyruss is the top of the mountain. That musical score is hypnotically heteroclitic, aberrantly anomalous and capriciously conspicuous. In
    other words, values, symbols, and terminations, that is one hell of a
    sound track.


    Lessee...

    On the Inty, I really liked:
    Thunder Castle
    SNAFU
    Shark! Shark!

    Arcade ... hmmm.. I really did like Gyruss a lot, too. I don't recall any
    other ones off the top of my head that really hit me, tho.

    archon adpet (similar;)

    Hi,

    I don't know French, but I think the above would be the work known in English as "Pictures at an Exhibition".

    Exactly.

    Which movement, however?

    The first. Actually, the same theme appears between the
    individual movements presenting the various images.

    exact, it's the first movement.

    I forgot to mention Seven Cities Of Gold, I really liked the intro music...

    Mr din.
