Contact Lost is good at setting an atmosphere, but come on, it's against the freaking Pulp Fiction theme, one of the most famous and kickass instrumental tracks of all-time.

I'll maintain that Orion, while technically solid, is nowhere near as interesting as Ktulu and Tubular Bells does a far better job of keeping me invested in the music.

1 and 4. I was fully expecting to vote Deep Purple, but listened through Misirlou and decided I liked it too much. Not for its Pulp Fiction appeal, particularly, but it has a bit of a Middle Eastern-sounding thing going on there. Otherwise I really don't enjoy surf rock.

Enjoyed Orion a lot more than Tubular Bells.

1 & 4

Went against my own suggestion in the second pair.

but it has a bit of a Middle Eastern-sounding thing going on there.

A bit? Misirlou means Egyptian

I know that now, having Googled for info.

Voted for 1 & 4, meant to vote for 1 & 3!

Can you change that, Fors?
