And............(Thus Sprach Zarathustra) Theme from 2001 which was a huge international hit in '71/72 and used to get to the dancers too.
This jazz record caused an absolute furore. So much so, that the Strauss family virtually refuse to license any remake of this classical piece that isn't strictly as written; it upset them so much. Over the years many a recording project has come unstuck over their refusal to allow the piece to be used.
