album: SILED1604
BY DARREN ALLISON
Ben and Nick Foster’s updated soundtrack to
the iconic TV series, featuring synths, electronics and full orchestra follows
Barry Gray’s heritage by employing a vast array of brass and percussion. Thus,
there is a significant Bondesque quality about it.
Making good use of leitmotifs to signal
characters, moods and machines, the composing duo have created a completely up
to date, big cinematic sound, whilst retaining reverence for the original.
Thunderbirds Are Go is now screened in more
than 40 countries worldwide and Silva Screen's third compilation from the
series features music from Series 2. The music from the series has previously
received a BAFTA nomination.
Ben is a three times BAFTA nominated
composer whose scores include Torchwood, Hidden Kingdoms, Happy Valley, Our
Girl and as an orchestral arranger and conductor for 99 episodes of Doctor Who.
An amazing 77 tracks are spread across this double CD set. Silva Screen Records
have provided an exciting, generous and thoroughly enjoyable set that demands
your attention from beginning to end. Small
wonder that www.denofgeek.com says: "The
Fosters are on top form giving those big moments (and there are lots of them)
the blast they need but also serving quieter moments, such as undersea or in
space, with more interesting and curious themes and melodies. Just as Murray
Gold did with Doctor Who, the music is an absolute rock and lifts the show to a
cinematic level".
