EPIC soundtrack is my favorite listening venue with headphones for studio FX, preferably with visuals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcfI...3Tq4yyq6CB6-tP

Rick Wakeman - Merlin the Magician*

*From the album Myths and Legends of King Arthur & the Knights of the Round Table.

When I was in 6th grade, I remember catching this song on the radio once, towards the end of it. I only remembered the DJ saying "...from King Arthur & the Knights of the Round Table". I only heard it the one time, but I particularly remembered the part that begins at 8:11. It was 36 years later (in 2011) that I looked online for King Arthur music from 1975 (the year I heard it) and purchased the CD. That ending flourish of the song (which also occurs in the middle as well) was exactly as I had remembered it. I like the entire album, but IMO, this is the best song of the lot.

Adrian Younge "Something About April". Adrian Younge scored Black Dynamite and is a real talent. Though I think he needs to diversify his timbre, this piece brings back to mind that incredible horror queen, Barbara Steel.

Some make reference to Ennio Morricone in the comments, I do not know if this is a cover.

With most Beatles, it's like you've heard it so many times you can't hear it anymore. Strawberry fields forever minus most of the swishy psychedelic effects, and distinct and crisp profiling of what's left. What a song

I'm pretty sure this song predates 1985; I heard it years before that.

None less than Chrissie Hynde & Johnny Marr covering Dione Warwick in haunting Bacharach/David Vietnam war protest song.
