At least it's better than listening to the rather conventional music for the series that was performed by an orchestra. I think "Demon With A Glass Hand" was Lubin's only all electronic "The Outer Limits" score.
But I posted orchestral cues to make the point that the music itself was good, the bottom one from Demon with glass hand.
This LP, recorded in July and August 1955, is supposedly Frontiere's earliest recording as a featured artist. He leads a sextet, playing the accordion. The "El Dorado" in the album's title refers to that accordion. The LP cover gives no indication as to who composed the various tunes that are played.
¶ Composer Dominic Frontiere writes a bucolic and romantic cue in the line of Hero's Island and also reminds the love theme from Alex North's Spartacus.
"A NAME FOR EVIL" is an amazing orchestral score for an atrocious movie that reveals Frontiere's ability to compose under very difficult and problematic situations. The La-la Land cd is a bit difficult to find but worth the search for anyone who doesn't have it.
I've heard of him, but haven't listen to his art. Of course, it's sad when such a talented persons passes away, but it is life and we can'd do anything about it.
Years ago, I emailed LaLaLand about Stoney Burke ... and the person who responded indicated they would love to do so some day ... and that they "actually have some of the scores." I have no idea what that means ... or if poor sales of past Frontiere CDs, as someone in this thread notes, would have an impact, but I'd buy it the second it came out ....
I especially remember the second love theme here at about 2:10 and its power in Outer Limits. Lovely.
joan, I mentioned that (and you) in an earlier post. That's the piece which was used in the heartbreaking ending to "A Feasiblity Study", when David Opatoshu is in the church with his family, and deliberately infects them with his alien virus to spare them a fate worse than death. When I posted that yesterday, I wasn't sure which earlier episode it was tracked from, but I've spent some time revisiting the wondrous La-La Land 3-CD release, and - although I only had time to get through the first two discs - I'm pretty sure it was written for an episode which appears on disc 3, "The Human Factor". Must check that out this evening.
Actually, as I suspected. IT WAS composed for AFS. The network delayed the broadcast from the start of the season till the end. Amazing music that is way too good for THF. NRM
