Not yet. I will later today.
I'm still looking for versions of the Bach's piece. I keep finding better versions that I push in the first 10 positions of the playlist, leaving the rest in the order I found them. I just found Gould's version used in the movie Slaughterhouse-Five, one of my favorite movies, based on a Vonnegut's novel. It's in this movie that I heard this piece for the first time when I was a child in the seventies. It made a very strong impression on me, but I forgot about it, both the music and the movie. Later in my twenties I rewatched the movie, unnderstood it better, and fell in love with the music.
Another piece that made a very strong (metaphysical) impression on me when I was young is Ennio Morricone's theme from the movie Once Upon A Time In The West:

I would go as far as to say that these 2 movies and pieces of music reached me so deep inside when I was a kid that they defined my whole life.
