Hm, sounds a lot like Bach. His style is usually very distinctive, compare it to parts of the Goldberg Variations or the Brandenburg Concertos for example. Someone with a deeper knowledge of his works might know it (or that I'm in fact wrong and it's someone else's work.)

I don't have a "deeper knowledge" of Bach, but I do listen to a lot of classical music...

Tempest title music is Handels "The arrival of the queen of Sheba". A really great piece to hear live from a full orchestra.

Good find! Then I was wrong after all.

Nah, Vangelis is far from classical!


But, IIRC Powerplay had some classical music:





Unfortunately, I can't find a video where it's audible...

I just downloaded the Powerplay: The Game of the Gods DSK (from CPCPower) and ran it on Winape. The title music is Tchaikovskys "Dance of the sugarplum fairy" (From the Nutcracker ballet).

Thanks, haven't played it in a few years but I remember sitting and listening to it when I was a child.

Weird, I would have sworn that the Powerplay title music was In The Hall Of The Mountain King... maybe I had a different version?


Edit: checked it and it's definitely ItHotMH, sorry Bryce!

Oh, you're right. It does seem to be that. The two pieces have very similar sections of music. Sorry Grieg :)

"Dance of the sugarplum fairy" is used in Mermaid Madness though.  :)

So... been watching Monty Python on Netflix these past few weeks, and got curious about the theme-melody.

Long story short:

The loading music in Harvey Headbanger tape version is "The Liberty Bell" march from 1893!
