Inspired by director George Pal's Academy Award®-winning classic film - "The Time Machine" - perhaps Russell Garcia's most well known musical work. It is a thrilling symphonic score bursting with a sense of wonder and adventure.
In 1987, Garcia recreated his breathtaking music again with The Graunke Symphony Orchestra in Munich, Germany which resulted in this landmark re-recording. Now after 35 years since the initial vinyl and CD, Russell's re-scoring and conducting of his brilliant Time Machine composition is back.
Remastered from the original digital stereo elements, this new version includes previously unreleased tracks. The bonus Suite from "Atlantis, The Lost Continent" that Garcia re-scored is also included. 20-page color booklet features background and an exclusive interview with Russell Garcia.
Cover and graphic design by famed graphic artist Jim Titus. Liner notes by Producer-Director Arnold Leibovit. This sensational Limited Edition CD should excite music collectors everywhere! The Time Machine stands out as perhaps George Pal's greatest work aided in large measure by Russell Garcia's heroic, emotionally-charged musical score that transports us to places we never thought possible.
The music is a wonderful mix of dynamism and romanticism that is both beautiful and uplifting. In Garcia’s inspired hands, we can hear the loving themes of Filby and The Time Traveler (their friendship comes alive through the ages), the glorious Time Machine (a mechanism we fully believed could perform the fantastic), the beautiful and terrifying H.G. Wells’ worlds of the Eloi and the Morlocks - rekindled with a resonance both heartbreaking and unforgettable. The Time Machine is one of the most beloved sci-fi features of the 1950s.
A bonafide cinema classics and the one for which George Pal and Russell Garcia will be most remembered.
