Oooh, Sleepwalker.

Wim, is that meant to be Sleepwalk (I love Sleepwalk) or is there one called Sleepwalker ?.

I must admit I only know some of the instrumentals named here.

Il Silenzio (not classical) is a great piece of music. So glad Eastwood played it at the end of American Sniper, even though not the best version.

The theme music to The Blues Brothers (don’t know what it’s called).

Can’t really say many others as they are mainly classical.

Thanks for thread though, got a whole lot a music I need to listen to.

Oh yea, loved Black Betty, the original which was mainly music.

Yep. The weepy one from La Bamba.
I’ll take your word for it (and doubt we’re talking about different songs).

And if Carla can nominate Foster, then I’m nominating The Heart Asks Pleasure First.
Very close to classical, I would have thought though.

OMFG forgot Time!

A couple of local ones, not sure if these have been posted here previously. Debut albums by Sebastian Hardie and McKenzie Theory.

Thread needs more influential Australian musique concrète innovations. OK, I might be reaching there: when Aussie composer Ron Grainer first heard what had been made of his score, he had to ask “Did I really write this?”

“Most of it” was the deadpan response from the person who had actually put it together.

All hail Delia.

That is such a great tv theme!!!
