h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A new take on an old classic:

for sharing that! I'm no expert & download time on my old beast is a pain, impossible to correlate visuals ie finger movemants with sound, but, for what it's worth, my thoughts:

* Obviously it's played along to a backing track, it would be interesting to know more about that.

*Personally, i have no clue as to who Pachelbelman is/was; or the original, so can't comment on the arrangement, but it ROCKS!

*Nor can comment on this other bloke who seems to have done likewise; it would be interesting to compare all 3. I "discovered" Vivaldi only when i went into spasms of joy on hearing Curved Air do it.

*At 3min24, IMHO the backing track drums lose the plot totally; the slow bit with the traffic sign, possibly the kids is visually implying "oh for gawds sake....get on with it!"

*The critic who reckons he loses the plot at 4min50 is talking from his rear sphincter. The kid bends the note & very nicely too & follows it by bending it a couple more times, just so you realise it wasn't a mistake, but a deliberate interpretation of the change.

So: any chance i can get this on a Mini Disc?

I reckon a Guide Entry of this Pachelbel guy & associated stuff would be in order.

Voila!

When you load the page, so that the video plays uninterrupted pause it and wait for the red bar to completely fill, then press play.

Ah ha! Tricks of the trade eh?

I rumbled around Wiki & dug up some info on the original composer, but the Beast refuses to play it.
