Anyone who saw "The Watchmen" feature film this past weekend noticed a nice little shout out to The Outer Limits (original series) where the opening control voice is played on a television in the next to final scene. In the original graphic novel, it even name checks the episode that it...

Ah, context. That's kind of disconcerting to hear, though, because it's so hauntingly romantic and sad. I will always associate it with the unrequited love between the drifter and the girl who can never leave the garden to go with him (lest she age quickly and die). If I find out it was...

Impressive. So the only TOL recordings on the list are the GNP release from 1993? Does that mean that the archivist report of 19 libraries holding TOL recordings from Frontiere is most probably that recording, as mentioned before? I guess I thought there might be some secret stash of original...

Thanks for the effort, Ockeghem! By the way, do you remember that George Winston released a solo piano cd/album called Summer (Wyndham Hill 1991) where track 5 is a piece called "The Garden," which is a Frontiere compostion for The Outer Limits from "The Guests" episode? I just remembered it...

I hear Wyoming is a lovely vacation destination in July/August ... :)

Months later, I just received an email from the associate archivist at the American Heritage Center in Wyoming where Dominic Frontiere's music scores for The Outer Limits were donated. Apparently, he went through all the boxes in the collection to confirm that there are no audio materials, but...

I thought the liner notes were well done, also. They could've just included a cardboard slip card and most of us would have been happy, but we got 14 pages. And it just came out of nowhere. I didn't even read anything about it on a couple OL sites I check. Thanks again to Harry-N for bringing it...

A great episode that holds up beautifully. True, "Tourist Attraction" was a cheesy, poor episode. I'm not a big fan of "Behold Eck!" either. But even "The Human Factor" played better than I remembered. And it's fun to note that Joseph Stefano lobbied for Sally Kellerman, and that role got her an...

I just watched "The Beachhead" the other night and was completely surprised by the vast amount of TOL cues in there. It was like a greatest TOL hits of Dominic Frontiere. I believe I even heard the love theme cue from "Architects of Fear" played very low under a scene between Thinnes and Diane...

I'm not sure about the MGM masters for TOL, but video programs have a split track master - dialogue on one, music and sfx on the other, so there would be a way to extract musical tracks for a cd release. It may not be up to the quality of the original master recording tapes, but it's certainly...

You're absolutely right, it's an ascending note, not a single note, as I so awkwardly tried to describe it. I was thinking of that image of hitting a single note on a piano, pausing, then hitting the next higher one. That's about my level of musicianship, anyway. :) But I'm a professional music...

Another advantage of the soundtrack is to be able to listen to the music at a sustained level without it dropping under the dialogue cues. I know this is an obvious facet of soundtracks, but when the cues are so memorably entwined with a scene, there's a sense of breaking them free when you hear...

"The Borderland" track on CD 3 (track 18) runs about 6:29 and is the big finale. I haven't watched the episode recently, but perhaps some other cues in the episode were too similar, so this was used as the definitive track. It's very "Bolero-esque" in that it's the single note that keeps...

My feeling is that if I want to hear the music PLUS the sfx, I might as well watch the show. It's a completely different experience to enjoy the music separate, but you still get the whole flow of the story, suspense, jolts, romantic cues, denoument, etc. As I listen commuting in the car, it's...

Since MGM is re-releasing the complete series in the fall (as previously released as an exclusive to Borders), I sure wish they would use this opportunity to re-master the set in high-definition as The Twilight Zone has done. I still haven't rewatched much of my original MGM box sets because I...

True, there's no SFX on this release, which is primarily a music-oriented release, but one other big bonus is some extensive (14-page) liner notes by Cinefantastique film music columnist and former Soundtrack Magazine senior editor, Randall Larson. In addition to writing an overview of the...

Working my way throught the first CD on the new soundtrack release and enjoying it thoroughly. The sound is definitely a step up from the previous GNP release, if still a little thin and with some distortions here and there. But it's still better than we've ever heard it. The cues from...

From a post on The Fugitive Season 2 thread by Harry-N .... " ... I know that THE OUTER LIMITS music was recently re-released by La-La Land Records - my copy is ordered and on the way. It's a new and more thorough release than the old GNP Crescendo disc: LA LA LAND RECORDS, OUTER LIMITS...

Okay, this is very cool. My short term memory may be toast, but I actually remembered my phone conversation with Dominic Frontiere from more than 30 years ago correctly. There are 18 boxes of archival musical material donated by Frontiere at the American Heritage Center at the University of...

It's also my understanding from the thread that the re-release did not digitally re-master or improve the image from the first release, which is why I haven't bothered to pick them up. Hopefully, there will be a Blu-ray version some day. Wouldn't that be great? Re: the "location of the master...

Yeah, Georgia Frontiere was married to Carroll Rosenbloom, who owned the L.A. Rams, and he drowned on a beach as I recall. And Frontiere went to prison for a while for scalping Super Bowl tickets and tax evasion while he was married to her. She since divorced him. And she died last month...

I was such a fan of the show and the music that I actually called Frontiere in Beverly Hills back when I was in college in Florida (mid 70s) and spoke with him. Besides praising his music, I asked if he had any plans to release a recording. He said no, and that he had donated all the TOL tapes...

Yikes! I just had to buy one of those Robert Culp as Trent OL autograph cards on eBay. Thanks for the link, Michael! :emoji_thumbsup:

What are the Rittenhouse cards? Are they of the original series? BTW, was not the episode with Andro, "The Man Who Was Never Born," one of the saddest stories ever aired on television? The music, the theme, the story, and two great actors (Martin Landau and Shirley Knight) added up to an...

Attachment 785 This one's out of order, but I had to shrink it a bit to make the file size. The Zanti Misfits are here.

Attachment 779 No, this isn't eBay, but I thought the people on this thread might enjoy seeing the Outer Limits cards in their entirety. The color is a hoot, but the odd thing is how they basically created entirely separate stories and names for the monsters on the cards. I'll have to post in...
