> Hey I forgot about that possibility with the old turntables; all the speeded up vocals sounded like The Chipmunks - and Acker Bilk must´ve sounded a bit more lively too. I remember playing a 45 rpm copy of I am the Walrus at 33.3, which turned it into a new kind of weird that I didn´t hear again until coming across GY!BE

> I was expecting a James Bond theme with The Man with the Golden Arm soundtrack, so I was very pleasantly surprised, Screen 13 - thanks for posting. That dated cool, like the Rod Stewarts, has a charm all it´s own - well, for me at least.

Gassenhauer by Carl Orff probably suffers now from being too well-known, but it´s only one of a number of Schulwerk pieces that Orff wrote during the 1940's. Designed to be played and enjoyed by children, they give us a chance to rediscover a musical innocence too:-
