Quite a lot, including parts of the Requiem, were used in the soundtrack to 2001 A Space Odyssey. :) Wonderfully eerie stuff!Quote:

I can't really answer this. There's no way I could afford to start my sytem again from scratch, but my music collection is cd as well as tapes that just can't be replaced anymore.
90 tape packs of drum and bass raves (each with atleast 8 tapes inside). Might sound like Hell to some but it's my youth chronicled; I'm so glad I kept them, even when they were "no longer cool" to own :D
"My youth chronicled". That's an excellent way of putting it, Martin!Quote:

I feel *exactly* the same way about my 80s albums and 7" and 12" singles, the latter of which I have many hundreds. I also have quite a few blank tapes with 80s music compilations recorded on them from vinyl-based systems I used 'back in the day'. Those are also precious to me :)

I dunno ... all these people who live in the past ... :eyebrows:
Lol... It's not a case of living in the past; it's a case of having a past worth sometimes fondly remembering and recognising! ;)
And acknowledging that certain music is a BIG part of that past and also who you are now.
Marco.
I guess my memory works more in a non-associative way, at least as far as music goes.
Whilst I fondly (or otherwise) recall events from the past I don't really link them with any musical associations.
I listen to music purely for its own sake and have no emotional attachments beyond those raised by the music itself as I listen to it or recall it.
It's an interesting topic in how it shows up quite major differences in outlook. :)
I think on reflection that I fall into this camp, Jerry. Yes, sometimes music reminds me of an event in my past, but mostly I do enjoy the music for its composition and sound, the emotion being directly generated.Quote:

I've just got loads of very happy memories of my childhood and teenage years, especially in terms of how certain music impacted on that, which has undoubtedly shaped who I am today, hence why I've acknowledged it here :)
