Ennui has kicked in something fierce. I'm actually tempted to go to bed because I'm so bored (and lack the ambition to do something interesting, or at least useful).
Here's a pair of MP3s for you (hosted on Rapidshare -- some scrolling, clicking, and waiting required):
- Carl Orff - "O Fortuna" (4.37 MB)
- Apotheosis - "O Fortuna (Apocalypse Chorus Mix)" (5.57 MB)
The first is the widely recognized chorus from Carl Orff's opera Carmina Burana, while the second is a whacked out piece of techno that samples from the first (and reportedly is no longer commercially available).
So, enjoy the end of the world (sing along, if you like). Or maybe just enjoy the end of the week instead.

Fun stuff. Can I sing along at work?

Be sure to crank it real loud if you do ;)
Bonus point for wearing one of those Viking helmets with the pointy horns.

Thanks for putting this up! I remember hearing this track on the radio in 1992, then was sorry to hear it had been sued so hard that it ceased to exist. (Circadian Shift: I came for the emusic "4 3 2 1" list, but I stayed for the techno-opera)
