"Spell of the Gypsies" by Buckethead:
The opening reminds me very much of Pachelbel's Canon in D; but still, I'm not suggesting that this was a straight lift - just heavily inspired, and interestingly developed further...

"Soothsayer" by Buckethead:
Probably his biggest hit...
Just 9-and-a-half minutes of pure electric guitar brilliance...

Fantastic compositon, Raj . I had the solo flute version of Bolero and other instrumentals (1980's version; by Cambridge Buskers I think) in a cassette tape, but it got erased accidentally some years ago

A Fifth of Beethoven by Walter Murphy, from the cult movie of disco, Saturday Night Fever (1977). A huge commercial success, the film significantly helped to popularize disco music around the world and made John Travolta, already well known from his role on TV's Welcome Back, Kotter, a household name.
Walter Anthony Murphy, Jr. (born December 19, 1952) is an American instrumentalist, songwriter, and arranger who rose to cult status with the hit instrumental "A Fifth of Beethoven", a disco adaptation of some passages of the first movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, in 1976, when disco was at the height of its popularity. The song was a smash hit, and reached number 80 on the Hot 100 on May 29, 1976, eventually reaching number 1 within nineteen weeks, where it stayed for one week.
