Electric Dreams’ Human and Computer Duet

Monday, May 5th, 2008

One of the most unforgetable movie scene, the duet of Bach’s Minuet in G beween Madeline Robistat (Virginia Madsen) and the came-to-life Computer, Edgar. It was those early years of computer and internet when movie about coming-to-life computer was still an intriguing topic. I remember this scene and the theme song “together in electric dreams”.

Electric Dreams, it was 1984, gosh, it truly doesn’t seem so long ago (but yes, it has been more than 20 years now). There were movies like WarGames, ET, etc. I had an Apple computer with games like Taipan, Aztec, Karateka, etc. and I loved my friend’s Commodore that display games on TV monitor.


I am glad I managed to find this scene again. Thank you youtube.com. Beautiful music, beautiful sound of cello and beautiful Virginia Madsen.

Rebecca Pidgeon’s You Need Me There

Monday, January 21st, 2008
Rebecca Pidgeon's The Raven   Is she still singing now?

I went through my old harddisk and found some of my favourite songs. After so many years, this song of Rebecca Pidgeon, “You need me there” in The Raven album is still so mesmerizing.

From Wiki, she married to David Mamet, have children and more of an actor than singer/song writer now. (Too bad for me, I love her voice and her choice of music.)

Well, off course, all the best to her.
