The 8-Bit Big Band - The Moon Theme from Duck Tales[^]
I stumbled upon The 8-Bit Big Band on Spotify last week while looking for some game soundtracks.
From their website: "The 8-Bit Big Band is a 30-65 member Jazz/Pops orchestra that formed to celebrate and realize some of the best musical themes written from various video games from all consoles!"
That sounds like exactly my cup of tea!
Their members are scattered across the world, but most live in New York City.
They play classics from Zelda, Super Mario, Final Fantasy and, obviously, the Moon Theme from Duck Tales (SNES).
I've played the game back in the day, but never made it to the moon.
The music is a game classic though, and I know and love various versions of it.
This one is exceptionally well done though

Here's what surprised me: Someone published the sheet music for this - for all the various instruments in this orchestra. Pretty Cool!

 Meute is indeed very nice ... Also, it's a Dutch/Flemish word for "wild bunch"  , but they are rather cool and focused, which is good ...

I would not have guessed that, since it sounds like 'mute' to me! Fitting name! And good music!

Very nice!
Looking at the playlist, I know a lot of it, some of it has even been SOTW (Jamie xx, The Blaze, Bicep).
Other tracks are great too

Whenever I see 'up to', as in 'up to 40% better than the competition', my instinctive reaction is: 'So you have search the market for the very worst product you could find, and you are no more than 40% better than that?'

Unit price: 4.50
Buy two for only 10.00!
One of the big chain stores in Norway was recently caught in several cases of this kind of advertising. When confronted by journalists, the store owners insisted that the cash register would charge only 9.00 for two. I am not at all trusting that it was the case the day before the journalists turned up

Voted Product of the Year.
The best ever was Gerald Ratner's "Because it's crap". The company soon sank without trace.

Don't say anything about the Crap[^]. It rarely lets you down, but my favorite is the Crap 27SL.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Not exactly advertising, but sort of related:
Norway does not accept nuclear weapons on its ground. USA very much wants to establish advance stores (or whatever the correct term is!) of military equipment in Norway for fighting The Great Enemy - including atomic bombs. We agree to advance stores of conventional equipment, but not nuclear weapons.
When this was discussed in media a couple of decades ago, one town after the other declared themselves as 'atom free zones'. It was pointed out that this would make those town awfully empty.

Quality product!
High or low is not specified, but low is most likely.
Made with 100% xxxx.
Could also include xxxx which is not 100%.
Could also claim that the xxxx which is not 100 % contains some 100% xxxx and so it IS made with 100% xxxx! So does not even have 100% xxxx added as a separate ingredient.
