you mean the Off-World Colonies?

Interesting, they weren't shipped "in the order in which they were received?"
|
|
|

|

Anyone from the states get theirs yet?
Not yet. Still waiting for my copies to arrive.

¶ I received my copy of the set and I dissected the booklet first. I liked the picture of the written scores.
¶ And guess who I have found in the Special Thanks to: oh, my word, a notorious FSM member from the UK.
¶ Anyway, the booklet is lavishly produced with informations about the stock music sources. You'll discover many cues from previous Anderson series in the Recording dates section: see the cues list for Barry Gray's "Supercar", "Stingray", "Thunderbirds", "Joe 90", "The Secret Service".
¶ I am listening to Breakaway right now! The Meta Signal.
"The impossible takes just a little longer, that’s all, Commander."

¶ I'm listening to End of Eternity and the first track "Balor" has been slowed down to fit the episode.

Who's that?
¶ Commissioner Simon Morris.
And until you pointed that out Thomas, I hadn't even noticed! 
I can only imagine that it's due to some comments/suggestions that I made when they were starting out on the project. Eg: "We need more sitar!"
(And I really did make that latter point. Repeatedly!)
Anyway, they put together a really good CD set.

¶ I listened to the 3 discs. It's all good and it recaptures the spirit of the series very thoroughly.
¶ The only weakness in terms of continuity is the music from the 1979 theatrical feature film ("Alien Attack") because of the disco era-oriented sound that don't match the 1974 series at all.
Yes, but that's the fault of those nutters at ITC who threw those compilations together
The Nick Ingman piece ('Giant's Causeway') is a fantastic library piece - especially the full length version - but, as you say Thomas, totally at odds with the programme and the music that Barry Gray composed for it. (The disco-tastic end music by Keith Mansfield is terrible no matter what way you look at it).

I thought he meant the real commissioner:
"The impossible takes just a little longer, Koenig!"

Perhaps they send them out in order of membership numbers.

¶ I was listening again to disc 2 and I noticed they integrated Paul's guitar recital in The Black Sun score: very nice sense of detail. They really tried to be as faithful as possible.
