Say what you want about the show (Barry Gray's Year 1 score is nonpareil and remains one of the great TV scores yet composed), but there are at least three elements, two of which are less celebrated than they should be 1.) the overall production design - from the ships (esp. the legendary Eagles), and Alpha in general to some of the planets - I mean, WHAT was going on in the head of the person who designed the surface of 'Piri' AND - such a rarity in TV series, even into the 80s: sets with ceilings - WOW! - which could allow for wide and low angle shooting...very radical 2.) the set decoration: the canny use of mostly Italian [and some British] designer furniture and knickknacks...for years in my mind's eye I could only think of the near future as looking like this; nothing else would do. 3.) Ray Austin's astonishing cinematography (particularly in Year 1 when he had more time to light)...I mean really check out his use of contrasting light and shadow, his use of cookies and gates, wide angle lenses, back lighting, and so on...this kind of shooting was unheard of in the 70s (and even later)...for a sense of what I mean check out the average American shot-in-studio weekly (Charlie's Angels, McMillan and Wife, The Six Million Dollar man -whatever) and you see that the sets are given a basic master lighting plot from a grid above ...very broad, very flat, mostly uninteresting. Thank you, Ray - you deserve more honour than you get.
Autostade67 Well said friend. I'm in the USA and was only a little boy of 10 when I started to watch in 1975 when season one hit the airwaves here. It was ASTONISHING just how good the production values were compared to even big budget movies made in Hollywood. Season one kept me glued to the TV for one whole hour and I never moved until the show was over! How about that for a 10 year old boy?!?!?! Season 2 was a huge disappointment for me it was really terrible when it came to direction and writing, so corny. The US direction and writing team destroyed the series.
@@richardlevangie8733, exactly, I think the old adage "if it ain't BROKE don't FIX it" applied, Fred Frieberger came in and laid waste to it in a similar manner as to what he did to Star Trek.
Ray Austin was a director, not a cinematographer. His background was in stunt coordination. Cinematography ("lighting cameraman") was usually Frank Watts BSC with Brendon J. Stafford filling in on occasion.
I have BOTH DVD sets, seasons 1 and 2, and still love it to this day - the eagles (ships) and the chars, especially Mya, and Brian Blessed playing her father, etc.
This episode scared me away from the TV set when I was 6. The fact that most the characters could not resist it's call. When it ate people, then regurgitated their smoldering, acid covered skeletons, I lost it.
@@SliceofLife7777 The best part for myself right before when probe ship docks with alien Spacecraft. Everything seems normal until opening hatch and weird lights and wind comes flying out. Later when Alphans come across same Spaceship Grave yard. Prof. Bergman's comment. " Reminds me of a Spiders Web"
I was just looking for the first season's introduction theme bu this is wonderful. My favorite Sci-Fi show and the Eagles are some of the best spaceships out there.
Yeah, the scripts for both years had serious problems, if for different reasons. I was a kid when it came out, and I still prefer S2 just because of the more modern jazzy music and the silly action sequences.
This has made my day, month, perhaps even year. Just watched season 1 & 2 back to back so this is just what the Dr ordered! Thank you so very much for compiling and sharing.
I am so happy that somebody took the time out to post this this brings back good childhood memories and I am happy to know that other people like me used to watch the show and still do thanks love all y'all
The section from 25:00 to 26:00 was composed by record producer and session musician Big Jim Sullivan. He also appeared on the episode "The Troubled Spirit" That same year (1975) he co-produced Angel's debut album.
Big Jim Sullivan was guy playing instrument in concert for Moonbase staff during opening scenes Trouble Spirit. His music was pivotal and eerie throughout entire episode.
7:00 ONE MOMENT OF HUMANITY. LOVED IT AS A CHILD AND 45 YRS LATER ITS STILL MY FAVORITE LOVE TRACK. FOR MY 50TH BIRTHDAY 2020 HIRING SOME BEAUTIFUL DANCERS DRESSED LIKE U.F.O MOON BASE GIRLS SILVER THONGS AND PURPLE WINGS AND GOING TO RECREATE THE BIG BANG TO THIS TRACK.
Space:1999 the very best of television Science Fiction on two sides of the ocean, realism, awesome effects, beautiful space shots, first season very ciever, scientifically oriented with excitement mixed in, second season played more for excitement level, creature of the week, moonbase Alpha cut to third of the old with many favorites gone but season two is liked More by most. For the longest time I wasn't one of those but I now see the great appeal of both!!! Gary Bailey KingofDarkness ⚰️🦇🪦❤️I just wished the show continued for it was Absolutely wonderful and enjoyable and fun and beautiful 🪦🦇⚰️
Barry Gray's theme and incidental music has a more bombastic and operatic feel to it. It's also more "spooky" (Season one's " End of Eternity" and "Force of Life " are prime examples) Whereas Derek Wadsworth introduced a significant element of jazz fusion for season two.
Very Nice compilation this was the Best Sci fi series hands down for years and years still hard to match no matter how good effects and CGI have become this is timeless especially the 1st season was my favourite sci fi series of all time.
Well, I was in a tired, Monday blah mood and found this. How awesome! Love that it bounces back & forth between seasons, thus far in my listening. I love both Year 1 & 2 so I am now a much less Monday sufferer. Thanks!
Thank you, Thank you for this FANTASTIC part. Thought I have both seasons on vinyl.. To hear them here is an experience that's unforgettable... & the electronic awesomeness at about 22:00 when the moon walk began an attempt a find out more about the Triton probe.. well brilliant.. Barry Gray wrote some greatness indeed..B R I L L I A N T & BRAVO!!
Oooh this is so Retrolicuous! I happen to find out about this show Space 1999 just a few months ago. And it's so retro scifi. But The creepy sleazy cheese is so funky. The series reminded me of Star Trek from the early days back in the 70s. Great smokers delight. thanks for this.
Love the series 1 Gray stuff. And love, love, love, the Big Jim Sullivan electric sitar (will have to listen to the whole track soon). The series 2 stuff was fun, as I never watch series 2; music isn't on the same level as the series 1, but still pretty good 70s funky-jazz--better than the rest of that production. Nice mix.
This was actually adapted from the title track of the 1975 album, Storm at Sunup, by Canadian jazz-pop artist, Gino Vannelli. It's great 1970s jazz fusion. ruclips.net/video/kKXsFV_b6aQ/видео.html
WOW THANK U THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS EVEN COOLER, COWBOY BEBOP BEFORE COWBOY BEBOP and the LYRICS even makes the SPACE 1999 DANCE SCENE EVEN MORE DYNAMIC. That episode gets a lot of dislikes from old school fans but for that series it's still a CLASSIC EPISODE. If any thing it shows How KOENIG LOVED HELENA.
Awe striking soundtrack. The Brits should have kept American micro management away from the inner workings of this show. Season 2 was not as good because of it.
Wow. I have season one on CD and a vinyl album promotional edition but not this wonderful compilation!! Is this season two?? Where is it from? Love it. Some of the tracks I recognise but not all x EDIT: 4yrs on and im still listening to this compilation! I now have a double vinyl album of series two music, but i still always come back to this upload
Does anyone know the title/composer of the incidental music played during the beginning of the episode "New Adam, New Eve"? There were some psychedelic visuals going on on the main view screen while the music played just before the character Magus showed up. They also used the same music on "Brian the Brain" when Koenig was was in his spacesuit walking on the surface of the planet.
Don't compare Barry's SUPERB atmospheric music style to the 70's jazz / funk electro style of Wadsworth... there isn't any. Barry gray wins hands down everytime! The two seasons are vastly different: the only thing in common is the name and several of the regular cast actors who got to stay on after a character cull thanks to the new American producer Fred Frielberger who destroyed what little reputation the show had.
Agreed, the two composers and seasons are like comparing apples and oranges. Although, some of Wadsworth's cues have grown on me over time. He wrote some introspective passages (36:52 & 35:28) which are very haunting and effective in many scenes, while some of the more energetic ones have raised a few hairs of excitement on the back of my neck. Other Wadsworth cues, however, make me want to gag, particularly the horrid, sugary teenybopperish closing music (32:13), which replaced Grey's classic introspective closing theme used at the end of season 1 episodes. Both Grey and Wadsworth are very talented composers, but Grey's scores are epic, timeless and untouchable.
I have the first season music score on cd but a lot of it isn't B G music as the used a lot of stock music and also classical. Wadsworth's music fitted the new look show I suppose as they tried to funk it up and make it more family friendly, sort of planets and monsters etc which helped enormously to destroy the second season. I am embarrassed at watching these awful episodes. Apart from the name and the two co-stars who endorsed the American market and finances, this was an entirely different show all together.
Yes Season 1 was amazing and season 2 is vastly different and inferior as far as story characters etc goes but but it had some good elements and I enjoyed watchin that season as well.I loved the series so much that i Still love to watch em and was always hoping and praying for a new Series that would do some justice to the old ones.
Realmasterorder I watched this as a 10 year old boy when season one hit the US broadcast airwaves with season one in 1975. I was awestruck by how earnest, serious, and lifelike the settings and characters were very much like real people working in a very critical professional environment in space! As I sat down and watched the premier of season 2 I was shocked at just how bad it was, terrible and it never became better with the season 2 second episode, so disappointed. The US direction, and writing destroyed this series completely. I'm in the USA BTW.
you might be thinking of the Morricone score which came out on LP and doesn't have much to do with the actual television score this music is from, equally from both series.

Best show, best music, best characters. All without pretension...
Dr. Victor Bergman (Barry Morse, may they both rest in peace) -- my favorite scientist in science fiction.
Barry Gray's Year 1 theme skilfully combined elements of symphonic music and rock & roll.

MAN WHAT IS THIS MUSIC 🎶
Sci-fi music of the 70s were the best !!
Great music for a great tv show!
My fave-and the scariest-episode of the show is 'Dragon's Domain'
me too!
This episode scared me away from the TV set when I was 6. The fact that most the characters could not resist it's call. When it ate people, then regurgitated their smoldering, acid covered skeletons, I lost it.
Trouble Spirit was pretty creepy too.
