<b>Just a bit of information:</b> This is the complete original soundtrack album, with exactly the same content as the original 1979 LP, digitally remastered.
I’m quoting some lines from the editorial review, which describes this score ways better than I could do it …:)
<i>Stu Phillips chose an approach that combined heroics with good-humored suspense, giving Buck Rogers a musical scope that befitted the pilot's breezy tone. The score is heavy on brass, with the largest sessions featuring six trumpets, three trombones, two bass trombones, and five horns.
When the title song 'Suspension' did not fully integrate with the score, Phillips wrote his own James-Bond-ish theme for the action scenes, adding rock and roll drums for a contemporary feel. Packed with themes, from the heroic, to the sultry (for Princess Ardala), to amusing (for Twiki), to downright sinister (Dead City/Attack of the Mutants), Stu Phillips delivered a colorful, energetic sci-fi score that proudly sits alongside his work for Battlestar Galactica. </i>
I like all tracks - the title song is beautiful - but people who don’t like electronical funky 1970s sound should avoid listening to Track 10 …;)
