The Sound of Vista

The classic sound of Windows start up is by far one of the most recognizable sounds in modern culture. But of course that will all change with Vista...

"It has long been a matter of record among those who care about such nonsense that the force behind this OS overture is being composed by Robert Fripp, a guitarist best known for his prog-rock noodlings with King Crimson. A brief glimpse at Elephant Talk, the site for fans of such stuff, suggests Fripp has been recently working on a preface to harmonium music of the 1940s and has recorded material with noted ambient muso sound maker Brian Eno. Recent Fripp concerts have included appearances at cathedrals."

Great, now if they could only get rid of the blue screen of death...
