There has been a recent study about musics effects on human memory. This study says that music activates same cells from our brain as bird singing and so makes us memorize stuff better.

Time travel with music is also one possibility:
"For a whole generation, the words “Ice, ice baby”, and for another generation “…living in the gangsta’s paradise” are enough to take them back in time."

That "...living in the gangsta's paradise" sure brings up some memories.

We just talked about this another day and I can confirm music's effect on memory. When I listen a piece of music when reading something, I remember what I have read better when I hear the piece of music again.

When listening to radio or just some loop of songs, some songs also trigger my attention far better than others. Maybe this is connected to how people memorise patterns?
