UFO: Original TV Soundtrack [CD]
Description
After a decade of creating pioneering puppet series made for children, Gerry & Sylvia Anderson took their first steps into live-action, with the 1969 feature film Doppelgänger (re-titled outside UK as Journey to the Far Side of the Sun). This science-fiction film approached its outer space subject matter with a gritty realism, and would set the tone for what was to be their first live-action television series: UFO. This new series took as a starting point the pioneering work of Dr Christiaan N. Barnard, the surgeon who performed the world’s first heart transplant operation. In UFO a dying race of aliens travel across vast distances of space to harvest organs from human beings to help ensure their own survival. To combat this threat the United Nations created SHADO, a top-secret organisation utilising the latest technology available to defend the Earth. To complement the series, the Andersons frequent musical collaborator Barry Gray created a multifaceted score that gave the programme its own musical identity. Elegantly crafted and a firm favourite with Barry Gray fans, the sound of UFO, particularly its ethereal “World Music” closing credits is, quite simply, a joy. Includes a bonus track, Trampoline performed by The Spencer Davis Group from the episode Ordeal.

United StatesPutting on the Original Soundtrack takes you back to your UFO memories!
United StatesThe Barry Gray Time Machine
The inimitable Barry Gray was a musical chameleon, pairing Anderson images with iconic themes. I feel like a kid again when I spin his tunes.
United StatesFun soundtrack
I rarely buy soundtrack albums but am happy to have this one. The music nicely reflects the time period in general and of course the show in particular. The problem playing it is that I find myself daydreaming about silver suited, purple haired girls on the moon...

United StatesOutstanding sound quality
The music sounds like it was just recorded! Yes, the style of music dates it, but the quality on the DVD is first rate! And making the purchase was as easy as any on-line purchase I've made. Very happy with the CD.
United StatesUFO music.
The Main Theme and SHADO has very grate drums. The Main Theme helps me remember the way the women moved. Mainly Drake in the short skirt. I said here, a few times, that the silver part of the moon base uniforms would make outstanding swim suits for a topless beach. The first 2, or 3, times that I played the CD, it jumped back to The Main Theme after The Choice(5). I heard the rest by pushing the forward when on 5. Some times it plays The Main Theme like a broken record.
