What an honest-to-god epic, emotionally stirring piece of music this is. If it wasn't the theme tune to Tomorrow's World, it would be the soundtrack to the scene in a fantasy movie where the plucky young hero arrives at King Arthur's castle. Riding a dragon. On Christmas day.

It starts off full of wonder, rather similar to the E.T. Theme, then a majestic cornet comes in, then the timpani rolls and… BAM! Powerful brass and synth percussion. And the time signature is *_15 beats_* Wow!

The first time I saw and heard a CD, I was *very* impressed with it. A group of us at university in the early 80s had gone down into town to a hifi shop to hear a demo of a disc. I was immediately impressed with the clarity of the sound, the wide dynamic range, the absense of background hiss/scratches/dust-ticking etc that you get with LP or cassette tape. He "sold" the idea of CDs on that basis. Then he started talking about how durable and rugged the CD was. He pulled out a very tatty, scratched, scuffed CD from his trouser pocket where it had been sat next to his car keys. He played it - perfect sound. He then made a scratch across it with a sewing needle - again, flawless sound. So my mate, a great big burly Mancunian who was built like a brick, er, *out* house, leaned across and grabbed the CD and needle. He proceeded to gouge a huge trench in the disc. The salesman turned pale but he played the disc. There were a few ticks and a couple of skips. "Now I'm *really* impressed," my mate said. "Do that to a record and you'd rip the f-ing needle off!"
@dancrumb

@@johnnysmith9755 is totally right here. The original CDs had a lot of error correction and redundancy on them that meant that the data lost from the scratch could be re-assembled with data elsewhere on the CD. The level of redundancy was excessive for consumer use, but, personally, I think they went a little too far the other way and made CDs far too delicate. A better middle ground could have been found, but they decided to cheap out on us :/
