Boodang Posted March 31, 2024 Author Posted March 31, 2024 I used to be in a band that played this. Always went down a storm with the audience. 3 Quote
Boodang Posted March 31, 2024 Author Posted March 31, 2024 At the risk of widening this out to film scores,but for me the Roy Budd 'Carter gets a train's is a stand out. I have a Hohner Pianet but can't play it for toffee, but was in a band where the pianist was epic. The pianet was perfect for this song and live was so much fun to play. Did it at a festival once as an opening number and the audience must have been Carter fans as by the time I'd finished the first bass line everyone was on their feet. 1 Quote

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 31, 2024 Posted March 31, 2024 (edited) Frank cannon ...a Quinn Martin production . ( sorry can't do you tube clips ) Regarding Northern Exposure ; it's one of those series that I missed the start , and watched infrequently on channel 4 back in the day I was thinking of getting the dvd . Does it hold up now ? It's been quite a while since it aired . Yes, the theme tune is brilliant . Edited March 31, 2024 by RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Quote

Interesting characters and good writing. 1 Quote
tauzero Posted March 31, 2024 Posted March 31, 2024 Bergerac - some lovely fretless bass on that. Morse, and its derivatives - Barrington Pheloung's compositions and incidental music are tremendous. 2 Quote
squire5 Posted March 31, 2024 Posted March 31, 2024 Bergerac for instance?Lovely gooey fretless work. 1 Quote
itu Posted March 31, 2024 Posted March 31, 2024 @funkgod has mentioned this earlier, the late https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_Foster played the Bergerac theme. Quote
bubinga5 Posted April 1, 2024 Posted April 1, 2024 This score for Dirty Harry by Lalo Schifrin is epic. Quote
lowdown Posted April 1, 2024 Posted April 1, 2024 I know Michael Leeson penned the lyrics, but Bill Conti sure knows how to compose an opening title sequence... Quote
lowdown Posted April 1, 2024 Posted April 1, 2024 The 60's were great for Big Band theme tunes... I don't really need to post The Flintstones (Rhythm Changes) theme. It's probably ear worm to a few of us ... Quote
