Oooh, so many good choices! But for launch.....<br /><br />Bach's "Tocatta & Fugue in D Minor" has a great punch to it, and the wonderfully interwoven threads of music would be great for distraction from any discomfort.<br /><br />From the less dramatic side of the spectrum, I've always found relaxation from Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".<br /><br />For some dramatic rock and roll, I like the suggestion of "Princes of the Universe" above. Apropos, in a strange way.<br /><br />But the one that really is coming up in my mind right now is a Jean Michel Jarre number called "Hey, Gagarin". Yes, it's about <i>that</i> Gagarin, so it's fitting. It's also got a very driving beat that could work well for a launch. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em> -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
