Amazing. I bet that rain effect is impressive to hear performed live.

Great song too. One of Toto's best.

I'll stick to posting car-related questions in future
I'm sorry Mark, the charge of lacking culture is a bit steep when Vangelis cannot really been counted as a "classical" composer. Sniff!

True. It's probably more a measure of my own lack of culture, because Vangelis is about as close to classical as I'll usually get.

And, to be completely honest, I probably wouldn't have heard of Vangelis if it were not for his collaborations with Jon (Anderson).

Speaking of which, what a great track this was:

(although I'm not sure I can say the same about the video ... )

Thanks Mark, but the little effort I put into it is not worth the postage.

Good description but when I knew him there was no idea of his true value.

Ray, not the same quality as the Beeb, but you can find it on YouTube:

Remembrance Sunday Parade
Thanks very much Sean. I’ll watch that after Flying Scotsman on Five.

Postage?

For Bitcoin?




With hindsight I probably should've let you all keep guessing when I found the answer until we had a winner.
