    This is the piece from which the Prologue theme of Beauty and the Beast was written by Alan Menken, intended as a version of Aquarium, which was used as a temporary mood-filler piece in the film’s production while Alan came up with his own version-which became the Prologue theme of the movie!
    Also, the final pounding chords of Aquarium remind me of the ones that conclude Rachmaninov’s “Rach 3.” Both have similar alternating pounding chords that ascend in same manner to the peak chord which Aquarium ends on, but Rach 3 has 4 final punctuating chords at the end!

      Yeah, the memories. That was really the song for the ride in the late 90s and the early 2000s.

    I just started this song after not listening to it for a few weeks and I instantly thought "Twitches"

    Remember first time I heard this. Was about 4-5 years old playing a pool game on the PS1 and every time I went onto the menu of that game these old white mansion doors opened up to lead you into this big room to a jukebox whilst this was playing and you could choose two doors one on the left the other on the right. I remember feeling scared from the music lol. This takes me back

    A winter percussion group called "Music City Mystique" used this for their show 2010. It's definitely worth checking out!
