Best news of 2010 so far.

Honestly, Elfman's theme is the worst thing about The Flash. It's not often you can say that about Elfman, but that's how good Walker's material is.

How dare you, sir.
I'm assuming that the 2CD set will include the pilot score, which is considerably more hefty than the later episodic scores. Shirley's music was very much in the Elfman-mode of the early '90s (DARKMAN, DICK TRACY), heavy on the brass, copious bongo rhythms ("Track Test" is right out of Danny's "Peppy Science" from DARKMAN).
It's almost hard to believe this is what television music sounded like once upon a time. Now I'm depressed.

For the uninitiated, THE FLASH is a fun series, and Shirley Walker's music is just fantastic. It's very much in the vein of BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES - memorable themes for each "villain of the week," terrific action cues, romantic cues, suspense, you name it. I don't say this lightly, but her music is just as energetic, imaginative and fun as the music composed for STAR TREK: The Original Series.
A few Youtube samples... I'm not sure if this music will be on the set, but it'll give you a good idea of the overall quality. Highly, highly recommended.
Here's the Flash's first appearance in the 2-hr pilot. Walker's action music is just fantastic, and the first time we see him in full costume (around the 4 min mark) she gives us an big, bold, heroic statement of his theme throughout the series.

Opinions are neat!! I mean, like to me, I LOVE the main theme, robust, has a great melody etc. sets the tone for the show, but for some, they can't stand it, think it's just not good. It's interesting how much one person can like one thing and another think it's just not good at all. Just an observation, no disrespect, just seeing some of the threads and makes ya think you know!

Looking forward to the Flash! I have fond memories of the tv show myself. With respect to the music, one episode I loved is the one that introduced the '50s vigilante Nightshade. A fun character who borrowed more than a bit from the Golden Age Sandman. Nightshade had a great theme, and that episode had some great musical moments. In fact, I recorded parts of that episode on an audio tape so I could hear the score.
Thanks for the release!
