Sounds good to me. Four hours of music recorded. Hopefully we'll get a CD release soon.

The sample sounds very good... exactly what Heffes is so good at...
Has anyone watched the first episode? Is it worth watching for anything besides the score (which is certainly good enough reason)?

Not good frown

Dear Peter,

Thank you for email.

Sorry to say a soundtrack release for ROOTS has not been possible due to contractual issues with the producers.

Sorry not to be able to give more positive news!

Best wishes,

AH

Roots started it's run on BBC in UK this week but still no sign of a score release, not even a download. Big disappointment......

Definitely......I really enjoyed it. Watched by over 50 million in US on first showing last year. Sad that the score still lacks a release

I sympathize, but it's still not quite as disappointing as the *decades* Gerald Fried's magnum opus for the original has gone unreleased...
