I still listen to this at least once a day. I know this might not mean much to you all, but its a part of my growing-up years which I remember back very fondly and emotionally...alongwith The Goonies, 80s horror, and a few other close-to-my-heart stuff.

Hit Play, then immediately hit Pause, let it load up completely (indicated by the red line) and then hear it till the end. If you are a fan too, tell me if you dont feel anything by the time the piece ends.

Ok, I like that piece of music, but I would like to hear it performed by an orchestra, instead of synths (don't get me wrong, I love synthisizers). That's just what I hear, imho.

Here's one I found recently:

It's Stravinsky conducting part of his Firebird suite at age 82 in 1965. If those chords at the end don't do something for ya - you're not alive!

Oh, BTW the piece in Platoon you're probably referring to is Adagio for Strings by Barber.
