Paralympics opening ceremony soundtrack released

London Paralympics 2012

While it’s still not clear to me why the Paralympics needs to be its own separate event (and I sometimes worry about the message sent out by it being so), those that recently discovered that they quite like watching sport on the telly when the “mainstream media should only cover two sports at any one time” rule is dropped will presumably be pleased that a second round of sporting delights is winging its way to their telly screens. Even if this time it comes with adverts.

And making Paralympians compete at a separate parallel Olympics does mean we get a second opening ceremony, and Universal therefore gets to release another Olympics-themed record. And while last night’s Paralympics opening ceremony might not have been the wondrous mindfuck Danny Boyle delivered at the start of the main event, many of you may still wish to remember the proceedings with a copy of the musical score, which went on sale last night, and features the following musical moments…
