BATTLE OF THE PLANETS Soundtrack on CD music by Hoyt Curtin and Bob
Sakuma. This album is the orchestral score the very popular 1970&1980 cartoon brought to the US by Sandy Frank. Who can forget that
fantastic main title theme? It's on here! Battle of the Planets starred
the voice talent of Casey Kasem, Alan Young and Keye Luke. In Japan, the
series is known as GATCHAMAN and in Europe as G-FORCE. Hoyt Curtin has
brought us some of the most memorable cartoon themes ever. He composed
almost all the Hanna-Barberra cartoon series' themes, including The
Flintstones, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Jonny Quest and many others. This
is the first time the music from the American series has been available.
This album also contains the music composed for the Japanese series
composed by Bob Sakuma. The Japanese music was also used in the US
version of the show in conjunction with the new music composed by Hoyt
Curtin. This CD runs approx. 75 minutes. Catalog Number: STCD-603

SCARY MOVIE the Score on CD music by David Kitay Brought to you by
Super Tracks Music Group is the orchestral score album to the
blockbuster horror spoof film SCARY MOVIE. As does the movie, this score spoofs some of Hollywood's most famous horror scores. This score was composed by David Kitay. Catalog Number: STCD-886

THE ADVENTURES OF ROCKY & BULLWINKLE music by Mark Mothersbaugh. This is a limited edition promotional CD containing the orchestral score to the 1999 film starring Rene Russo, Jason Alexander, Randy Quaid, Janeane
Garofalo, John Goodman, Whoopi Goldberg and Robert De Niro. This score was composed by Mark Motherbaugh, lead singer in the popular 1980's group DEVO. The original "Rocky and Bullwinkle" theme is used throughout
this score. Catalog Number: MMCD-01

Rocky & Bullwinkle is a fun score. Some of the more actiony stuff reminds me somewhat of McNeely's Avengers (same type of synthbeat percussion). All kinds of little musical references, too.

One thing, though. I thought the name of his publishing company (oh, go back and read this from the start with Comic Book Guy's voice) was Mutato. Of course, I don't have the CD down here, but it's spelled wrong. Not complaining.

About Tim: Tim has good taste in music... it's just different than yours and mine. Not to say you were knocking his tastes ('cause you weren't, but still...). Of course, as far as I'm concerned, my tastes typically coincide with yours - and you and I are obviously going to agree on the fact that anything we listen to is "the shiznit." Sooo, with that in mind, I forgot what point I was trying to make, so I'll just shut up now.

NP- The Man in the Moon (JNH) - which TIM recommended to me looong ago! I just got it in the mail today. Thanks Tim!

The truth be told even when I was very young I hated the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon!
I grew up on Voltron and Thunder Cats (Hoooo!)

I haven't heard The Second Jungle Book, but if you think Space Jam was "mature", this is just like it. Like I've been saying, it sounds like McNeely's Avengers (I haven't listened to Avengers in a while, but I believe the track that Mothersbaugh's score reminds me of is track 8, "Flight Of The Mechanical Bees."

I dont own a note by Dave Kitay, but its a good score, like Scream Lite...and since its a comedy and a short movie ( 88 mins) it didnt need a hell of a lot of score.

Whats there is not bad though!
And the last thing is that there are tons of songs....shocker!

Scary Movie - Not unlike David Newman, John Morris, Richard Gibbs, Miles Goodman and Mr. Mothersbaugh to name a few, David Kitay is a composer who is unfairly represented on CD.
At only 26 minutes, I expected the CD to be sold for a reasonable price. I would have loved to see the CD padded out with some other Kitay scores: Problem Child 2, Look Who's Talking Too and Dude, Where's My Car? (complete with choir!).

Battle of the Planets/G-Force - I've never seen this show and, although it's Hoyt Curtin, I couldn't care less about the music.

In the spirit of anime music, it would be very nice if Seikou Nagaoka's complete scores from "Tenchi Muyo" and "Tenchi Universe" were released (the music - all of it, I believe - was released on pricey and incredibly hard-to-find import CDs, and it's all on synthesizers anyway, so that wouldn't be too hard.

Just my two cents.

There. How's that?
