LOL Rob. I agree with you entirely. The variations on the UFO theme (with the organ flourishes) are REALLY irritating. The one piece of incidental music that makes me cringe is from "A Question Of Priorities", where Ed is enjoying some quality time with his son John riding in the vintage car and fire engine. The music is so flowery and full of over-emphasised sentimentality. Bow your head in shame, Barry!
All The Best,
BRIAN

Subject: [SHADO] Re: FAVOURITE UFO INCIDENTAL MUSIC
A short answer to that.
Anything that doesn't have that infernal four note diddly-dee-dah motif in it. It drives me nuts.
I'm all for "variations on a theme", but Barry Gray takes the biscuit. There must be some episodes they do it fifty times or more. Watching the shows again recently, I have to say it was the music that really ruined it for me. Don't get me wrong, Gray was a great composer, and did some brilliant work, including the UFO theme, but this wasn't it. It's monotonous in the extreme.

You can hear it when the three of them are sitting side-by-side in the red sports car heading towards the tracker station. It uses heavy brass and some electronic effects, I think. I don't know if these pieces of music were ever given titles, but I would like to call it "Doomed Tracker Station." The problem is, because this music was used more than once, this title is probably unsuitable.
