The Second volume of never before released original music
from the Thunderbirds SuperMarionation show features
recordings that have been carefully restored and edited from
Barry Gray's own archives courtesy of The Barry Gray Estate
and Carlton International...
Thunderbirds
is remembered for a number of things but the chances are that
if you mention the show to someone one of the first thing
they'll do is hum the signature tune. But it was not just
the music used in the opening credits that gave the programme
so much of its character - throughout the episodes the work
of composer Barry Gray stands out as a regular highlight.
It's
therefore great to have a second CD of incidental music from
the best remembered of all the Anderson shows. And it's a
credit to the composer that it's possible to release a further
batch of his work every bit as good as the first disc - this
is not collection of leftovers. In fact, there really isn't
a single dud moment on this disc - every track is a winner.
Perhaps
the most interesting inclusion is the abandoned closing credits
song. This version differs from the two takes that have been
circulating on the Internet for some years - although not
greatly - and as such must rate as the rarest Barry Gray composition.
So
yet again, Silvascreen has produced a mini masterpiece with
great packaging and an informative booklet, well illustrated
with photos from the show. Should you buy it? Do you need
to ask?
