particular order):

This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren

Kate Bush - Under the Ivy

Julie Cruise - The World Spins

Talk Talk - Tomorrow Started

The Communards - For a Friend

Abba - The Winner Takes It All

The Carpenters - Goodbye to Love

Killing Joke - Goodbye to the Village

David Bowie - Life on Mars

Level 42 - It's Over

Johnny Pearson - Sleepy Shores

Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings

Jean Sibelius - Swan of Tuonela

Ralph Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis

John Barry - Remembering Chet

Thomas Newman - Any Other Name

Killing Joke - Twilight of the Mortal

Gustav Holst - Venus, the Bringer of Peace

China Crisis - Christian

Michael McDonald - I Keep Forgetting

The Four Tops - Do What You Gotta Do

The Divine Comedy - Lost Property

Dionne Warwick or The Stranglers - Walk on By

So many more...
