As a spectacle, London's New Year fireworks were overwhelming, but "set to music"? Apart from a couple of times when the music and fireworks actually synchronised, (eg, the start of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds) the music was mainly an accompaniment to what appeared to be an attempt on the world record for letting off the most fireworks, rather than anything creative and artistic. For examples of how to be more imaginative, the organisers could do worse than look at Sydney, Hong Kong and Dubai's efforts.
