Monday Morning Music Trios


Pariah

Recommended Posts

Pieces by Vangelis, used as theme music for Carl Sagan's Cosmos (1980); part of Heaven & Hell part 1 was the opening theme, other bits came from the Albedo 0.39 album. I admit to considerable bias, but nothing else comes close.

 

They were mostly in The Animaniacs and it wasn't their theme music, but "Brainstem" done by Pinky and the Brain was IMO the best song to come out on TV in the 1990s.

 

The closing theme of The Hulk live-action series (1978-82), a sweet little piano piece, I also really liked in an era when I really didn't watch much TV.

Oh, and for the supergroups, don't leave out GO: Stomu Yamashta (whom you've never heard of), Al DiMeola, Steve Winwood, Klaus Schulze, Michael Shrieve (all of the others you should have heard of). IMO their best single cut is titled Crossing the Line. The group didn't last long.

Deep Purple - Space Truckin (probably not what you were expecting)

 

Will have to come back for the other two later. 

 

My second song choice is "All Alone On A Rock" by Ian Moss. a cover is below, as i can't find the original on YouTube. 

 

 

Third needs no introduction. 

 

 

 

All alone on a rock

written by physicist Don Walker, performed by guitar hero Ian Moss

 

All alone on a rock

Colder than the constellations 

Fired free of gravitations hollow

The mathematic suns 

Sing to me what must be done 

And anything is possible tomorrow 

All alone on a rock 

Far below the city's rolling 

Colder than the ocean in it's shadow 

I do not feel pain 

I won't be going back again

And anything is possible tomorrow 

Every shipwreck lying hollow

Every burned and broken cello

In it's far magellic dust 

Is callin' back for me to follow 

And I'm

All alone on a rock 

Hanging in the solar gale 

Sweeping down the fields of Galileo 

The mathematic suns

Sing to me what must be done

They sing to me and sing as one 

They're moving now it has begun

And anything is possible tomorrow 

I do not feel pain

I won't be back this way again 

And anything is possible tomorrow
