Since Frontiere didn't seem to have tapes of his INVADERS music, and this is various composers, would this be stems from Quinn Martin? And a CD dedicated to it rather than a few cues? I'm still trying to accept this as a reality. I know BRIDE is a big deal, but this is monumental. It's too, too bad Charles Thaxton isn't around to appreciate this.

From Jon Burlingame on Facebook -
"None of this would have been possible without The Film Music Society, which supplied all of the original INVADERS tapes it inherited from the Quinn Martin music library."
"Disc 1 is all Dominic Frontiere, drawn from his three original INVADERS scores. Disc 2 contains excerpts from the other 11 original scores done for the series (five of them by the underrated Duane Tatro)."

Wow, thanks for relaying that (I don't have a FB account)! Odd the LLL announcement didn't mention two discs. Wonder how FMS got the tapes. I'd have loved a release with everything they had, but I guess it wasn't a favorite title or cost-effective.
Is there any mention of how many CD's the Invaders CD will be?
Second, I'm still partial to Stoney Burke myself.

The answer is either 2,000 or 2, depending on how I interpret the question!
I somehow missed out on seeing most of The Invaders episodes when it was shown on the Beeb (probably early '80s?), so I don't have that nostalgic connection to it, nor am I that familiar with the music. But it's Dom Front doing SF for '60s TV, so it must be great.
Glad to see Duane Tatro's name on the second CD. I think I blabbed on about him on the Queen Martin the Ist thread, the bit where I said that the really short titles he did for "The Manhunter" were intriguing enough for me to do a search on the compo for his other works. Jazz genius! And his titles for the TV Movie "The House on Greenapple Road" are pretty startling.
Anyway, damn you all for making me have to get yet another household decoration.
