CD Reviews

Finally! The "missing" cues
Larry J. Commons | Arlington, TX USA | 07/25/2006

"A few years back, GNP Crescendo released three volumes of LOST IN SPACE music (still available if you search around on Amazon). All three volumes are wonderful -- but to fit the John Williams scores for episodes 1, 3 and 5 onto one CD, some cues were eliminated.



THIS newer set includes almost all of those missing cues -- including glorious tracks from "The Reluctant Stowaway," "Island in the Sky" and "The Hungry Sea" that weren't on the previous releases.



But wait, there's more: A multitude of cues from other episodes too -- not scored by Williams -- from seasons one and two, including the full-length "The Family" theme used in "Welcome Stranger" and a host of other episodes whenever there was a sentimental moment.



Want even more? The third-season music bumper (used halfway through each episode when coming back from a commercial) and the "CBS Presents This Program in Color" tracks also are here. Altogether it's more than two-and-a-half hours of music, on two CDs.



I was REALLY excited to get this. When combined with the previous releases, it's almost all of the music used on LOST IN SPACE for the entire three seasons. (And yes, the liner notes are extensive too.)



Thank you, La-Land Land Records, for releasing this!"
Almost complete!

"Well done to all involved in the release of this CD. My 25 years search for the mysterious and magical music of 'Lost in Space' has now been rewarded. Hundreds of letters sent by fans of this music over the years has paid off with a beautifully presented double CD package containing extensive liner notes about the music & composers involved. Great artwork from Mark Banning which we have come to expect and crystal clear remastering of the soundtrack elements. One piece of cue music remains elusive however. It was first heard during the episode 'The reluctant stowaway' and used extensively in the first season. The cue commences with the sound of a heartbeat coupled with trombones played in their lowest register. The 40th Anniversary liner notes state that some elements of 'The Reluctant Stowaway' soundtrack were lost, I guess this important cue was one of them? Possibly copies of the original soundtrack exist in other parts of the world. I live in Hope. Bernard Hermanns music does not appear in any of the Lost in Space releases. Could this be that copyright is held elsewhere? The Hermann music is very important. Music fans may not be aware that John Robinson's jet pack scene for example uses music from the 1953 film " beyond the 12 mile reef ". Other dark and sinister scenes from 'Lost in Space' use the Hermann music from the films "The day the earth stood still" 1951 and "Garden of Evil" 1954. Hopefully these 3 Bernard Hermann film soundtracks are still available to music fans who want to complete their 'Lost in Space' music collections."

"Lost in space was always my favorite show, but just like a good movie,

the movie is only 50% of the entertainment...the other 50% is the glue

that holds the movie together...the musical score.

My ears were melting when i started listening to the double Audio Cd...

and now i am stuck with a permanent smile everytime i put it on.
