It's bonfire night and after a few pints I'm celebrating by listening to a wide variety of groovy music. I've got an MP3 of something called Italian Salsa which is really good. It's proper medieval music, with a great tune and some really funky drums. Anyone know who recorded it? I've heard some good ‘early music’ before, and keep meaning to get some CDs (it's probably the sort of thing which will be in the bargin bin at HMV).
Hmmm, I think I've just about picked out the tune for Push It by Salt and Pepper on penny whistle. It must be in D, or I wouldn't have a chance. Can't really keep up though.
Now what I really want to know is where the great tunes in Rob Dougan's Clubbed to Death come from. I recognized the first movement of Elgar's Enigma Variations in the string bits at the start (which the wonderful Hybrid mix has blended in more subtley), but I don't know the piano tune. Is it original, or derived from the Enigma theme, or is it some other classical piece which I don't know (which wouldn't suprise me—I'm not a classical music buff)?
