Unlike 'No Strings Attached', this is a selection of Barry Gray's music from the 'Thunderbirds' TV series.

Apart from variations on the 'Thunderbirds' theme, there is also all the incidental music as well, including Lady Penelope singing from 'The Cham Cham' episode.

Thunderbirds by Barry GrayIf you want to hear the beats from when they show Thunderbird 5 or the errie music when the Hood appears, it's here as part of the suites.

The 16 page booklet details the restoration of these tracks from their original source and from the looks of things, there is likely to be more to come covering the other series. Can't wait for the UFO CD.

As much of the material is restored from tapes that the late composer Barry Gray had locked away in a garage, seeing the restoration and transfer to modern recording methods and the quality of the music is one of the reasons Gray's work has so much regard amongst his fans.

If you're an Anderson fan, you've probably bought this CD already. If you like acquiring SF-orientated soundtracks, this one is worth adding to your collection.
