That tune is in the tip of my tongue and yet I can’t name it 
Frustrating
No, @hatsnp,
Frustration would probably be Metallica/Lou Reed. 
Instead, my mind goes to JMJ and his Oxygen…
Have fun!

You’re spot on… Great ear A few months since I last listened to Oxygene, but it’s no excuse
At first it reminded of Klaus Schulze so at least I had the genre correct…
Here is my recent detour I took from “normal rhythms of life” and made native american moccasins. https://deerskinmoccasins.blogspot.com/

Oh, I couldn’t guess the song, but the tones of that keyboard dredged up all sorts of Electric Light Orchestra Emerson Lake and Palmer (ELO, wrong deja) deja-vu…

Can it control darktable? 
I love the last tune on the album. With the sound of an ocean lapping at the shore, it’s easy to imagine a low-hanging “sun” over the horizon of an alien world. If you like JMJ, check out (the out of print) “Wunjo” by Giles Reaves: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=giles+reaves+wunjo

Make yourself a L-bracket.
It’s bound to have a midi socket… 
GIMP can work with MIDI!
It was fresh out when I started university. I remember a night drive on the then still empty Autobahn with Oxygène blasting out of the speakers of a Golf GTI, engine near its limit… Not the safest music for a night drive.
Pink Floyd can do that too.

Maybe the closing part of “Sheep”?
Most of the Individual Choice album by Jean-Luc Ponty (Far from the Beaten Path, Nostalgia, Computer Incantations for World Peace, Individual Choice) is excellent driving music, not to mention lots from Tangerine Dream as well. As to songs, Assembly Line and I’m Freaking Out by the Dregs* and Anesthetize from Porcupine Tree are excellent for driving. Pretty much anything with Rod Morgenstein or Gavin Harrison behind the drum kit is driving!
* Ironically, much more so than their “Cruise Control”, IMO.

Ponty never crossed my ear, I’ll check him out.
Tangerine Dream is also perfect for spacing out, not the best idea at 180km/h…
Individual Choice is a bit more sequencer / electronic oriented than most of his stuff, although he’s always been embracing of electric instruments. He’s played with everyone from Stéphane Grappelli to Al DiMeola to Frank Zappa, mostly doing his own style of electric violin-based fusion. Another of my favorite albums from him is Civilized Evil. He turned 80 last September.

I wish you all the best to get out of that.
NHK will be doing an interview with a colleague and visiting the office in Toronto. Potentially an appearance on Japanese TV…? It will be two firsts if I am somehow part of the footage.
I am unphotogenic and awkward in front of cameras. I ended up dodging the filming by working in another room. I did have work to do, unlike my colleagues.
I just gave back my last school keys. So now I am fully retired and only a (welcome) guest there.
I got my first school keys in 1991, worked at 6 different schools, 10, 7 and 7 years at three schools, short stints at the others and had for two of them the master key. Gave that one back in last August with retirement and kept a normal teachers key for my little job there. And now that is also gone.
Strange feeling.

Strange but good, in my case at least.
Congratulations.
