	((album of the week))
		The album is driven mainly by keyboards that sound like the soundtrack to a 1970's science fiction movie, or Blade Runner (it keyboard parts in particular sound a lot like Avengelis (who did the Blade Runner score and Chariots of Fire too)).
		Elvis says that he recorded it in the back of a bus one day, and is my favorite song of the album.
		This album should be a staple in anyone who likes good song writing and punk ethic with melodic sense.

	HMS Pinafore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the film Chariots of Fire, the main protagonist, Harold Abrahams, and others from "Cambridge" are seen singing "For he is an Englishman." This scene is juxtaposed after a scene in which Abrahams is beng grilled by two of the Cambridge dons for being too individualistic.
		Sir Joseph's patter song "When I was a lad" (a brazen satire on the career of William Henry Smith, the newsagent who had risen to the position of First Lord of the Admiralty in 1877).
		There is a reference to H.M.S. Pinafore in the "Major-General's Song" (from The Pirates of Penzance), in which the Major-General asserts that he can "whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore."

	Splendid Magazine reviews Numina/Caul: Inside the Hollow Realm
		When a CD opens with a minute of near-silence, the better to build toward an epic opening not unlike John Tesh looping the theme to Chariots of Fire in Sonic Foundry Acid, it's hard to get an accurate reading on precisely what's going on.
		Numina and Caul have joined forces with some very clear ideas in mind, as evidenced by the subclassification of the disc into four-song themes ("Collapse of the Spiral Spire", "The Molten Void", "A Distant Past Fades") and song titles that evoke scenes from a sci-fi screenplay ("Uncertain Moment", "The Wind Speaks", "The Memories Blend").
		How successfully these themes have been rendered will depend upon how much you've always wanted to hear Vangelis score The Dark Crystal.

	Dog Owner's Guide: The Name Game
		Others name the pups for their attitudes, their potential as a winner, a natural feature, a movie title or character, a favorite recipe, a famous person, a phrase in a song, or a bit of jargon from business, law, the theater, or other fields of endeavor.
		Since no one is going to stand in the yard and call "Deal Me Aces, come," or enter the show ring saying "Chariots O' Fire, let's go," breeders give call names to their dogs that may or may not bear any relationship to the registered name.
		The number of letters in a dog's name is limited, as is the number of dogs that can have the same registered name, so breeders vary the spelling of some names to get the point across within the prescribed number of letters while avoiding duplication.

	American Composers Orchestra - From Scene to Shining Screen
		Another revolution in film music, introducing the analogue synthesizer in place of the orchestra, was heralded by Vangelis in Chariots of Fire (1981), and he was soon followed by others such as Harold Faltemeyer (Beverly Hills Cop), and presently by Hans Zimmer, whose large orchestral scores are transformed by computer techniques and complex sampled sounds.
		The Golden Age of Hollywood coincided with the great era of American songwriting, with many of the same composers.
		A wonderfully talented composer of upbeat melodies with contemporary rhythms and imaginative instrumentation, Mancini won the Oscar for Breakfast at Tiffany's (and the song Moon River), and composed the catchy melodies (with ubiquitous Saxophone) for The Pink Panther.

	The Mikado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1981 film Chariots of Fire, Harold Abrahams first sees his future wife as one of the "Three Little Maids from School".
		The Mikado, or The Town of Titipu, is a comic Gilbert and Sullivan operetta in two acts.
		His enthusiasm is cut short by receiving news that the Mikado will soon be arriving for a visit; as Ko-Ko is behind on his quota of executions (never having performed any at all!), this means someone must be executed at once.

	AMCTV.com MEMBER REVIEWS: Close Encounters of the Third Kind
		The Theme song Carried movie The same as Chariots of Fire.
		Close Encounters of the Third kind is a good but very overrated movie.The only thing i can remember about the movie is the sound the space ship makes....
		I have trouble with people not telling the truth.I can say this because I saw the 1977 Close Encounters of the Third 103 times.

	Music review: Like A Dream
		Some listeners would be familiar with the Vangelis pieces Chariots Of Fire, Conquest Of Paradise and Voices — the last one being partly used by music director Rajesh Roshan in the Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai song Chand Sitare.
		Assisted by a choir from the English Chamber Orchestra, and basic instruments like the piano, keyboards, flute, bass, drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, cello and violin, she dazzles with the sheer texture and majesty of her music.
		Though she’s been trained in classical music, she’s been concentrating on new age projects, where she can experiment with her vocal strengths.

	Amazon.com: Miami Vice (1984-89 Television Series): Music: Jan Hammer
		The soundtrack is one cohesive suite that works with all the various artists and genres compiled...Jan Hammer was to Miami Vice what Vangelis was to Chariots of Fire and other film scores.
		The song has that dark, brooding sound that captures the essence of the show.
		One of the things that made Miami Vice such and cool and popular show was its use of music within the show.

	Indiana Statesman - Umphrey's plays to sold-out theater
		Umphrey's McGee ran (sometimes literally, as was the case in an impromptu "Chariots of Fire" rendition) through songs ranging from Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" to its own jazzy title track from the new album.
		Cinninger pointed to a combination of different types of memory.
		The general formula for an extended Umphrey's jam on this particular night seemed to be an introductory verse, sung by Brendan Bayliss, followed by a chaotic rampage of metal-tinged notes, which finally devolved into a warm jazz-funk slide.

	Lewis (Lew) Lehrman: 1982 Governor Campaign Retrospective
		Lehrman, holding aloft a clenched fist and victory sign as the band struck up the theme song from the movie 'Chariots of Fire,' vowed that he, like the track stars in the film, has what it takes to win his general election race with Lt. Gov.
		Thousands of highly motivated volunteers all over the state will provide Lew with the momentum not only to win the primary, but carry the general election," Karl Ottosen wrote in a November 1981 memo to Campaign Chairman Jonathan Bush.
		Other campaigns had formidable consultants - John Deardourff, Bob Teeter and Roger Stone for Ned Regan, Arthur Finkelstein for Paul Curran, George Humphreys and Judith Press-Brenner for Jim Emery, John Sears for Richard Rosenbaum - but it was Lew's "well-oiled machine" that drew attention and votes.
