The music from the excellent television series/film Das Boot (by Klaus Doldinger) stuck in my head from the first time I heard it, something like 15 years ago. I was very pleased to find a copy of this soundtrack in a second hand CD shop a couple of months ago.
The main theme is excellent, and will stick in your mind for a long time, though it is actually a very simple tune. Sadly, the rest of the music does not live up to this standard - the original television series was very long, and I would have thought that the amount of music would have been enough to fill a CD with just the best bits. None of the music is actually bad, and it certainly conveys the monotony and fear of the voyage, but it doesn't really stand up to repeated listening.
