What are ET cartridges?

 
8-tracks? That was a looong time ago.

That's bizarre. ET was a fine film imo. I remember lining up to see it back in '82. But the game didn't do so well?
 
Would the soundtrack to ET qualify as "classical"?

Enjoying the Complete Edvard Grieg Music with Orchestra featuring the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and Neeme Jarvi on DG. Eight discs, I think mostly recorded in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Beautiful libretto included with four languages. Being a huge fan of Sibelius, obviously I keep thinking of the Finn here and there when listening to Grieg, the Norweigian who died a half century before Sibelius did. In many ways Grieg really shows how the Austro-German styles of the 19th century were first streamlined and made a bit more rhythmic when transferred to Scandinavia. Sibelius took this style to the next level. But thankfully Grieg was just innovative enough that Sibelius never felt the need to rebel completely, and instead really built on the foundations of the Scandinavian style so well articulated by Grieg. Anyone else have thoughts about this series?

I have the complete music with the BergenPO + Ruud on BIS, which is uniformly good (I wonder why the Järvi forces, who did lots of recordings for BIS, didn't do their own Grieg cycle on that label…). I imagine the nationalist music from Russia probably also had some effect on Sibelius, but certainly Grieg was in there. Totally different composers, though; one never reminds me of the other.

Speaking of BIS, it looks like there might be some hope of at least some of their SACD back-catalogue making its way to multichannel PCM format. See here for instance (on sale now, actually).

We could just title it "Sh** sounding recordings from 70 years ago that people can't give up because some Nazi conductor".
