I'm also not afraid to admit that some of my priming to like classical comes from computer games. I discovered recently when I got a Mussorgsky CD that Dungeon Master II rips off more than one of his "Pictures at an Exhibition" compositions. And I always said that that game had an awesome soundtrack.
Elite 3 also had a whole bunch of classical pieces and I played that game for huge amounts of time. It had Hall of the Mountain King, Baba Yaga and all sorts of other pieces. Of course in not so glorious MIDI format, but oh well. The stupid kid version of me got a bit of culture with his gaming in that way. Not to forget Realms of Arkania 3. The piece that plays in the town is great and I have to try and find out what kind of classical it falls under. I'd love to get more in that style. |

You know "Ride of the Valkyries". You've played computer games? You'll have heard "Mars" You've seen films about Napoleon? You've heard "1812 Overture". These aren't pieces you hear once and forget.

I guarantee you know them. I stake my first born child ... oh. Wait. Well, I'll buy you a burger if I'm wrong. It might taste a little cold and rubbery after so long in the jiffy bag, but I'll make sure it gets to you. Ketchup will of course follow in a separate bag. Sorry but I'll have to send it COD.
