I actually did downlaod most of that one. I was disappointed it didn't have the sinister sounding sneaky music and an arrangement of the theme they played in Gadget goes west (the one with sinister sounding organ riffs).


I would like some of the background music myself, but honestly, I would love a cd catalouging the Shuki Levy Haim Saban Dic background music (especially Heathcliff, more Gadget, and Super Mario Super Show).

I loved the background and scene music from the old toon, is there any way to get my hands on it?
I found the technodrome-synthy ('pheeeeeuuuuooooooowwwww') on the drome site, but that's it.
I especially would love to have the jazzy krang-music, there's only the videogame-adaption of it on here (and nes-tunes just don't deliver the feeling :p ).

Those tracks have to be laying around somewhere in the world, but I have no idea who has the rights to them. I dont think anyone could make their own unless there is someway to phase out voices and other sound effects.

[General Traag]

That's actually what i expected, they made 200 toys but no cd of the (pretty good) music. :s
And yeah, ripping it out of the scenes is pretty much impossible.

Now i wonder though where the soundfile of the main drome page is from?
It's longer then any 'no-voice'-scene in the toon could have been, so i doubt it's been taken directly from there.

I think the sound may have come from one of the episodes in season 3. Probably one of the ones where Krang's voice was done by the other guy. Maybe the one with the love potion stuff, probably? I forget now but I remember at least once where there was the technodrome theme playing without dialogue for quite a while.

Are you referring to Drome In Motion? I think it's safe to assume that was a remake. It doesn't sound exactly like anything I remember from the show. Different instrument, I believe.

[Krang]

We had a thread from a while back with some info on who is responsible for the music from the classic cartoon, so I merged it into this one.

Vegita-San extracted it from parts of different episodes and merged them together. If he sees this, he'll probably be able to tell you which ones.

You're right, that one was an original composition.

[General Traag]

Ah, cool that my lord, didn't find it. =]

So what happened to the 'fearsome_fighting_team' and the e-mail?
I guess i gotta send him a pm sometime.

I wished I had all the background music from all the shows and the video games. It would be truly awesome lol

Alas, I've received no reply from the guys I sent the e-mail to (namely Lions Gate who are releasing the DVDs so surely they have the rights to the music?!) I don't really know what else to do... maybe some of you guys could try writing/e-mailing and then they'll realise that there are people who do want it. The contact info. again is:

Lions Gate Entertainment Inc.
2700 Colorado Ave.
Santa Monica, CA 90401
E-Mail: [email protected]

Also (as I've stated before) there's these guys:

Maico Music Co
Phone: (213) 938-5000
Contact: MARTIN COHEN, ADMINISTRATOR
C/O MURAKAMI WOLF SWENSON INC.
740 LA BREA AVENUE
LOS ANGELES, CA 90038-3339

Note well my sons (and daughters) Murakami Wolf... their logo if I'm not mistaken appears at the end of the credits of the original series... so these guys should be contacted too. And again I'll ask if anyone here's from LA and near La Brea Avenue maybe you could pop on in. Ummm, what else did I come across... oh yeah, just that the writers of the music (and I quote my earlier post) were "Mr. Dennis Challen ("D.C.") Brown and Mr. Chuck Lorre (a very big producer now, behind shows such as Roseanne, Cybill, Grace Under Fire, Dharma & Greg and Two and a Half Men - which he pretty much created)" and Maxine Tait also worked on the music a little later on.
So if you can find contact info for any of those three names we might have something there... I've looked and I couldn't find anything. So that's what's happening... phew.

[General Traag]

Ah cool, too bad they didn't write back. I will drop them a line too i think.

[TheUltimateShredhead]

A cd with all the background music from the OT series would be awesome !

Half the fun with the series was the background music.

[ToTheNines]

The 2k3 show has had some great music too, alot of it only gets used once. It would be cool if we got both.

[LuK4sz]

What synthesizers was used in the soundtracks?
Roland D-50 sound familiar
