I especially remember the second love theme here at about 2:10 and its power in Outer Limits. Lovely.
joan, I mentioned that (and you) in an earlier post. That's the piece which was used in the heartbreaking ending to "A Feasiblity Study", when David Opatoshu is in the church with his family, and deliberately infects them with his alien virus to spare them a fate worse than death. When I posted that yesterday, I wasn't sure which earlier episode it was tracked from, but I've spent some time revisiting the wondrous La-La Land 3-CD release, and - although I only had time to get through the first two discs - I'm pretty sure it was written for an episode which appears on disc 3, "The Human Factor". Must check that out this evening.
Here is the opening track from Frontiere's amazing homage to The Great Les Baxter: "Pagan Festival."
I've been unable to get this fabulous track out of my mind since you posted it! Great stuff!
Several years ago, I tried to order this or maybe it was the Robert Drasnin exotica CD from Oldies.com, but they were perpetually "out of stock", so I never owned either of these fine releases. In the case of the Frontiere exotica album, it sounds like I missed a real corker of an album.
You are correct, Graham. It was first used in The Human Factor. Like you, I really noticed it in The Feasibility Study at the end when they infect themselves and hold hands. Unfortunately, that episode is not on youtube or I would have posted it. You need Hulu to see it. That music at the end was gorgeous and heart-wrenching.

It's the ‘Yvette and Allen’ theme from "The Architects of Fear”.
“At first, deep depression. Lifting now. But feel removed, in limbo. Thoughts primitive. Dream of Yvette. Dress shops.” —Physicist Allen Leighton (Robert Culp)
(Member) - I think there's some confusion... Unless I'm mistaken, "The Architects of Fear" score is heard at the start of the video up until the 2 min 10 mark, when "The Human Factor" (or "A Feasibilty Study") takes over. Are we on the same planet here?
ABC Records released Frontiere's score to WASHINGTON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS in 1977. The recording has not been re-issued on CD.
This was an album re-recording/rearrangement, so the original music from the miniseries remains unreleased.
Labels can be be confusing even when being technically correct. The LP does indeed have "original music." What it doesn't contain is the "original soundtrack."

Indeed. They mix two love cues: one from "The Architects of Fear" designed for Yvette and Allen and one from "The Human Factor" designed for Dr. Hamilton and his assistant Ingrid.
“It’s your mind that attracts me most”. —Ingrid from "The Human Factor"

No disrespect intended to Dom or this thread, but my main recollection of this show, aside from Chuck Connors being kicked out of the fort during the credits, were the parodied lyrics back in 1970s: http://playgroundjungle.com/2009/12/stranded-on-a-toilet-bowl.html
Does the possibility exist for a 'Dominic Frontiere @ Fox' album?
By my estimation, there are 4 movies by 20th Century Fox with music by Frontiere. My initial thoughts on such a (2-disc) set are as follows:
CD #1 - 1960
1) Seven Thieves (crime/noir) 2) One Foot in Hell (western)
CD #2 - early '80s
3) The Stunt Man (action/drama) 4) Modern Problems (comedy)
If the above is feasible, then an album production such as this would traverse quite a range of genres and decades. Golden Age music fans would probably want to buy something like this, and the 1980s titles would likely attract the typical/average soundtrack customer who might otherwise have no interest in the 1960 items (that is, if they were to be released as stand alone/single soundtracks)
I haven't clicked on that that link you posted. It would be so embarrASSing if I discovered my CHILDHOOD memory was faulty!
Lyrics varied slightly across the country, as recalled by people in the comments section. It's all very scholarly. Plus you can find other "schoolyard" jingles.
