Lalo Schifrin, ‘Danube Incident’ (1969)

Pianist and composer Lalo Schifrin is best known for TV’s “Mission: Impossible” theme, and “Danube Incident,” created for one of the show’s episodes, is slinkier music to spy to. Portishead harnessed its atmosphere for “Sour Times,” one of the most memorable tracks on its debut album “Dummy,” and the band’s Geoff Barrow went on to gather some TV credits of his own, scoring sci-fi shows like “Hanna” and “Devs.”
