I listen to the Easy Listening (instrumentals) music channel on TV when I go to sleep and I few nights ago Quentin'sTheme came on. It made me smile and think back on watching the show as a kid and all the memories that come with it as I drifted off to sleep.
I was wondering if anyone still listens to DS music today? I have the music library and sometimes play my DS playlist when I go to bed and I always get a kick out of hearing those old familiar tunes/cues. I can't say I really think of particular moments from the show when I hear them but I always marvel at how wonderfully atmospheric they are and how perfectly they are played. Sometimes you can even hear the musician taking breaths.
I remember how exciting it was when Quentin's Theme made it to radio and my buying the Charles Randolph Grean Sounde version. And my Dad liking it was 'cool' too. I never listen to Selby's version - I can't bear it, lol. I preferred the flip side #1 At The Blue Whale more and still do. I love that song (both versions).
I still remember finding and buying the DS LP in New York City as a 11 or 12-year-old. What an awesome LP that was for a fan. I cherished it. And I flipped when I found it on CD, what a re-treat. This summer marked the 44th anniversary of the release. Goodness, 44 years...
I still love hearing this music and was practically brought to tears of joy hearing The Secret Room at the start of Dark Shadows 2012. What a lovely tribute to the original series and Robert Cobert and the fans, I thought to myself.
