Pod Stallions opening theme on CD

[raycastile]

I really love the opening theme to Pod Stallions, "The Dawn of an Era," by Francis Monkman. I brings me back to childhood, when that recording was ubiquitous on television. I always wondered where it came from. I didn't find out until I heard it on Pod Stallions and asked Brian.

It was recorded in 1978 as a library track for a company called Bruton Music. The recording apparently never received a commercial CD release. That changed a few months ago, when it was released by the Vocalion label in Austria. You can order it as an import. The CD combines two Bruton Music library albums, "Energism" by Monkman and "Futurism" by Paul Hart. The Monkman album is the better of the two. It took a few weeks for my copy to arrive, but it was worth it. Classic 70s synthesizer jazz/prog instrumentals. The liner notes are interesting and shed some light on the albums' genesis.

Ok, now I gotta have this. While I chose this music because it's the theme tune for "Invasion UFO" i also remember it in a quasi futuristic Timex commercial as well. It used to be on Youtube but I can't find it anymore.

Hah! That's great! Apple should use it for their Apple Watch commercials!
