  1. The first season was consistent all the way through. All of the memorable episodes are from that season. The monsters were introduced in subsequent seasons when corporate interests tried to dumb it down.
  2. Talk to them. I'm simply conveying information.
  3. Don't forget Mundell Lowe's "Satan in High Heels," arguably the greatest album ever recorded.
  4. I frankly don't see what the big deal is. No one is advocating junking the original. The technology provides another way of experiencing the music. So what. People have a chance to hear it in a different way, and the rest of us don't have to buy it if we don't want it.
  5. The Chipmunks - Around the World with the Chipmunks (Liberty).
  6. Get them on that Nitty Gritty machine right away. Sorry this happened.
  7. Some television critics have made the claim that the first season of Outer Limits was the greatest show on television.
  8. Frontiere was on the first season. The show in general wasn't as good afterwards, when corporate interests watered everything down, including the music. Typical, huh?
  9. I could care less whether music is written for a TV show, a "jazz" album, or a porn soundtrack. Good music is good music. I'll take Dominic Frontiere over warmed-over "jazz" any day.
  10. Good. There's only 3,000.
  11. Dominic Frontiere's music for "The Outer Limits" is among the best ever written for television. A (brief) CD with music from 3 episodes is/was out on GNP. Now, there is a 3 CD set! www.lalalandrecords.com
  12. Aren't they available from the Basta website? http://bastamusic.com/
  13. Yeah, and such scores by the likes of Bernard Herrmann, Miklos Rozsa, and others rank among the best music I own. I'll take a great sci-fi soundtrack over a mediocre jazz record any day.
  14. I just found out that the Naxos release of this mentioned above is slated for a worldwide release on July 29. Be the first on your block to own it! http://www.amazon.com/Antill-Corroboree-Jo...7335&sr=1-1
  15. A skilled theremin player is able to control pitch, dynamics, vibrato, and portamento with only two hands. To (accurately) recreate a theremin part on the synthesizer, you would need one person twiddling knobs while another plays the part, and they have to coordinate their movements. Trust me - I have two monophonic synthesizers and a theremin. Check out Clara Rockmore and Theremin's niece (forget her name offhand) to hear what a theremin is really capable of. A bitch of an instrument to play well.
  16. Daphnis et Chloe
  17. Stanley Turrentine - Joyride - Blue Note (stereo, DMM reissue). Superb arrangements by Oliver Nelson.
  18. Legrand Jazz - Columbia (6 eye mono)
  19. Is that one a 10" Decca LP with a cup of coffee on the cover? Yes. And a few years later, she recorded 4 more tunes and it was expanded to a 12". This one has a color photo of a cup of coffee on the cover. It is available on CD also.
  20. The irony about those Mercury Living Presence and RCA Living Stereo LPs is that the mono versions of the same titles often go for very short dough. Those mono albums sound incredible also.
  21. Get "Black Coffee" on Decca. It's one her jazziest ever, and it's her most easy to find album from her Decca period (a few years in the mid 50s). Nearly all of her Capitol albums from the 50s up to at least the mid 60s are really solid. Also, I always loved the live album with George Shearing, "Beauty and the Beat."
  22. Only if the software can reproduce his whining.
  23. Most of the "classical" music I own is on LP. I have maybe 10 CDs of so-called "classical." Being into 20th century stuff, I find it makes sense to buy it on vinyl. The previous owners either knew enough to take care of it, or hated it enough to not play it more than once!
  24. This discussion needs to be moved far far away from the ARTISTS thread. If you want to start a "Frauds" thread, that would be an appropriate place to move this.
  25. Peggy Lee - Latin a la Lee - Capitol (rainbow, mono). a KILLER record. I am convinced that the Beatles based their version of "Till There Was You" from Peggy's version on this album.
