Always nice to hear the classics honored!
Wow, thanks for posting this, Wedge. I really liked this new series but didn't sit through the finale's end credits. I would have instantly recognized this theme. Nice to hear this honoring.
Hey joan, that theme in its original incarnation is a landmark film music gateway along with other shows from the earliest 60s. Those gateways aired on Friday and Saturday nights which makes sense, when else could a little kid watch (or even just hear) TV at night but the weekends. There was something about Steiner's grinding, driving theme that entered the imagination and left such an indelible stamp as if to say this is the music of dark late night goings-on in The City, kid, get used to it. Hearing it in the mind's ear is enough, too, to start another journey. I believe our past threads on melody and level of engagement zero in on this sort of thing.

UGH, dear sweet fluffy lord. One day you'll probably see a scoring thread for the original series from me, but NEVER this new version...

I haven't seen the new series but what a great score by Blanchard. Dark, tense, moody.
Good stuff.
I'm still hoping to see him live at Ronnie Scott's this Spring but I'm not holding my breath.
