    Sorry for the late response, I don’t visit this board very frequent.

    Unfortunately I’m not familiar with each gamelan instruments. The instrument 38 seconds into Dead Presidents, I don’t think it’s saron, demung, peking, slenthem or gender. Definitely not kendang.

    The instrument has the same shape with gong, but it’s not gong. It’s either bonang, kenong, kethuk or kempyang. It’s the smaller one I think. Sorry couldn’t be more specific..

    38 seconds into Dead President? That’s Javanese gamelan from my country, Indonesia.

    Yup, and there’s a photo of Danny with Jared Hess in SoundtrackNet’s report of Nacho Libre’s recording session, it seemed to be going well..

    Heheh… I’ve spent hours and hours playing Heroes III, I love this game and… I love the sucky music!

    Btw, is this Evil Theme still credited to Danny in Kazaa??

    This has been asked before here… Evil Theme is a track from game Heroes of Might and Magic III, along with Good Theme and Neutral Theme and other excellent music. There’s a soundtrack album for this game, maybe these tracks are in it, try Amazon.

    Well, hearing Wonka’s Welcome Song reminded me of a song but I forgot which one… The first song that came to my mind was Captain America, but now I think the song was Money Money from Cabaret (1972), sung by Liza Minelli and Joel Grey.

    Whatever, can’t wait to get the CD!

    Wonka’s Welcome Song, from 0:47 to the end, reminds me of Captain America:

    If he’s lead to a fight and a duel is due,
    Then the red and white and the blue’ll come through.
    When Captain America throws his mighty shield.

    What do you think…
