You'll see Gerry Anderson influences with the bomb doors and other things in that movie.Brad Mehldau The Falcon Marlboro, NY AugTwenty four hours after a raucous, spirit raising performance by South African pianist Nduduzo Makhathini and his trio mates, drummer Francisco Mela and bassist Zwelakhe-Duma Bell le Pere the evening began quietly like a haiku. There's a quiet group of people who collect these things, the DVD once sold for $hundreds.Īlso, many Gerry Anderson crew (set designers and special effects) went on to work on 2001. SAD NOTE: Network just went out of business, so grab those blu-rays while you can.

Network DVD did a full restoration of Space Patrol on bluray and their devotion to the material is so appreciated. I am pretty certain the music inspired Kubrick in 2001. I love the music on that, which they actually indicate as "electronics" in the credits. Roberta Leigh did Space Patrol and while it's an acquired taste - you're right that it is completely wonderful. If you hear this as electronic oscillators, this is such a great track (No Texan would brag about Kansas, nor is the show visually based in Kansas) but my knowledge of UK regions is dismal, too, so I'd probably mess something like that up if I was writing a puppet show about Manchester. They make one huge mistake in the Four Feather Falls theme song stating "he's known throughout all Kansas" which irks me to this day. Gray's music on Four Feather Falls is intensely great! Pure Americana country, and from a brit.
Torchy has Barry Gray music, incidentally.
Anderson only did the first season of Torchy and then left for Four Feather Falls. It's like Little Nemo if it were puppets. I've only seen one episode of Twizzle (is there more that survived?) but have seen all of Torchy and it's so great. Loving this deep dive! With those two titles, you're inadvertently connecting Gerry Anderson to his beginnings with Roberta Leigh!Īnderson got his start on her shows - Twizzle and Torchy the Battery Boy. Especially with the main theme, and that very particular synthetic (I guess) kind of flute/bagpipes sound.įour Feather Falls (Gerry Andersons first I think.) and the magic of the force, like a subtle hope in this rude society. What I've liked about the Mandalorian OST was mostly the sound design, you can smell the dirt and voodoo which define the original Lucas universe in it, the harsh life and exhausting work on dry planets made of sand, populated by mercenaries using futuristic yet obsolete machines. I totally understand the fatigue due to endless Disney's StarWars spin-offs, and I did not had the opportunity to watch Ashoka.Īndor was very nice, as was Rogue One (and the Vader's lightsaber sound fx at the end, in perfect tune with the OST ahah). But imo the best ones, taken apart, still make their way to being masterpieces on their own. The best OST seem to be an extension of the story, they serve the purpose to enhance it and should never steal the show or disconnect the viewer from it. Your input is very interesting, I think you are spot on: It makes me wonder if sometimes a good soundtrack is one you don't over pay attention to. Ashoka's theme is kinda cool but i think that show is trash outside of the villains.
it makes me wonder if sometimes a good soundtrack is one you don't over pay attention to. Andor is my favorite of them but I don't even recall the music but it's been mentioned here, so i have to pay better attention. i have a bit of fatigue about those star wars shows, so in a way i might be projecting my feelings about that show onto the soundtrack. "it is accomplished" is the most heroic / triumphed songs i ever heard and i use to listen to it days on end, on repeat. Hello Lud, yes i agree about The Last Temptation soundtrack being a masterpiece. The track "Lazarus raised" with it's opening S&H pad is wonderful, and I was always very impressed by the way Peter Gabriel has used noise in the track "The promise of shadows". The last temptation of Christ OST is indeed a true masterpiece. Ahah I can totally understand your point Sir, sonic similarities are obvious, I guess it was a big influence for Göransson.
