Music RTE used when it was opening up for the day

    I heard Jean Michel Jarre's Equinoxe 4 the other day and it transported me back to my childhood. More specifically, to the eternity I spent watching that feckin' clock, which was the limbo between the test card and Bosco. God, time used to slow right down as I waited for RTE to boot up for the day. On the other hand, it was an early introduction to some classic instrumental music. I'm pretty sure I heard Equinoxe and some of Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene in those years. Maybe a bit of Mike Oldfield as well but I'm not so sure about that. Does anyone else remember what music RTE used when it wasn't quite on air?
