   Well, the Cosmos theme is an excerpt from Vangelis' Heaven & Hell album, and   
   BTW predates CoF by quite a few years if my memories are genuine. Bits &   
   pieces from several other albums, among which "Ignacio" AKA "Entends-tu les   
   chiens aboyer?", and, I believe, "Spiral" and "Albedo 0.39"...   
      
   About the look, yes, the visuals have dated a bit, but it's still lightyears   
   better than most cr*p on TV these days. IMHO, of course.
