THE TWILIGHT ZONE


This post may come a little late, but better late than never. After my first post of Original Twilight Zone scores, Closet visitor DMA (name abbreviated to protect the not-so-innocent) stepped up and offered to rip the available scores from CD for us, as a kind of "Dankeschoen" for our work here at the Closet of Curiosities. Since I've only got the slightly scratchy vinyls, DMA's offer was more than welcome.

Well, and here you have it, along with "Bernard Herrmann - Twilight Zone Complete Scores" (2 CDs), recorded by conductor Joel McNeely in 1999 from the restored scores.

Most of these scores are really awesome, with innovative orchestrations, lush use of electronic instruments and groundbreaking thematic work, so please go on and get 'em ASAP.

TWILIGHT ZONE 40TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION (4 CDS)
CD 1 features music from
Bernard Herrmann:- The Outer Space Suiteand the scores from the episodes- Where is Everybody?- Walking Distance- The Hitch-Hiker- The Lonelyalong with various main and end titles by Herrmann.
