Old music?

I just listened to some music from years ago, and somehow found it still very fresh. What do you think?
Can you tell from the music it was recorded in 1981? Among many things, I love the sound of the harpsichord in it.

 

Fantasy and history

This time I want you to really go for it and use your imagination, plus a little of your knowledge of history. First things first, though:

Have you ever heard of the British TV show Doctor Who? It is a BBC fantasy/sci-fi classic series about a Time Lord who travels around galaxies and fights the powers of evil. His time machine is TARDIS (acronym for "Time and Relative Dimension in Space") - a small blue police box, which changes into a vast spaceship once you are inside it. As he travels in time, the Doctor witnesses some crucial moments in history, and sometimes changes the flow of events to save mankind from unimaginable calamities. Not that history is presented exactly as we know it, of course ;) To get the feel of the series look at this video, which is a fragment of an episode about the Titanic. (For those interested,  in this clip the Doctor is played by David Tennant [sigh], who used to star in the show until 2010. Now the role is performed by a different actor.)

 

Your task, then, is to imagine you are a Time Lord and choose one moment in history that you would like to change. How would you intervene? Who would you help? How would you motivate your actions? Your weapons are your brains and... a sonic screwdriver, which can open or close, well, virtually anything.  According to Wikipedia, it "can be used to perform other operations such as performing medical scans, remotely controlling other devices and tracking alien life."
Are you up to the task? Please be ready for Tuesday, April 10.
