	Re-read the above, note that I said the Russian musical scores 
from the arcade version were missing. The Spectrum Holobyte port does
have a very _brief_ little tune played before each level, but it only
lasts about 10 seconds or so and then stops. Of course none of these
short tunes sound anything like Tetris from the arcade (or the 8-bit
Nintendo and GameBoy versions if you've seen those, I think Tegen did
the former). Nonetheless, there are a couple of specific musical themes
which became the standard for all Tetris ports, I'm sure a few people 
here know which I'm referring to...
