The Mystic Moods Orchestra - Love Token (1972)





















Another cool Sunday morning record.  This one drives my wife mad for some reason.  Maybe because I'm a man of habit and play it every weekend!

Frank Barber - Swingin' Percussion (1966)




















Another S2S favourite of mine.

Edit, March 2011:    Thanks to those who have contacted me regarding the duplication of Spanish Flea.  Here's Creole Carnival, the missing track.

Richard Harvey - The Theme From Terrahawks (1983)





















For the last year or so I'm been pretty successful in brainwashing my four-year-old son into liking stuff I do.  He loves music, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, Thunderbirds, Back To The Future, etc.  Over the weekend I thought I'd try Terrahawks.  He wasn't to impressed with the DVD - and neither was I, to be honest, I'd forgotten how much it had dated - but he loved the theme tune, so I dug my 12" single out and encoded it for your listening pleasure.

OK, so Richard Harvey is no Barry Gray, but this is the beginning of the 80s and is a theme very much of its time. 

Apologies as  there is a slight jump but it doesn't detract too much.

Ennio Morricone - A Fistful Of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More (1968)




















One of the ways I like to pass my time is listening to Titoli while our cat and the one next door stare each other out on our garden wall.  "We can fight!"

Nelson Riddle - The Contemporary Sound Of... (1968)





































One of my favourite Nelson Riddle albums this.  Some great takes on Light My Fire and Gentle On My Mind and a storming Stoned Soul Picnic.  Here are the UK and US sleeves.

Barry Gray - Space 1999 - Original Television Soundtrack (1976)




















Another gem from Barry Gray, the soundtrack to Season One of Space 1999.  Gray only scored the first season and then dropped out for the second series.  This ended a long-run of soundtracks Gray had done for Gerry Anderson including classics such as Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and UFO.

Apart from the main titles there are some corkers on here, particularly Black Sun and Death's Other Dominion.  Genius!
