Personally, I feel the highlights of this album are the End of the Road and Terror in New York City tracks, which provide us with the complete episodic score to two dynamic and exciting episodes - clearly reflective in the score. Another delight was the "Penelope in France" track that combines much of the brilliant music heard during episodes in which we find Lady Penelope in France (though some of the same cues are repeated as many as three times in this track!).
The other surprise to this album are the tracks that are from the episode "Give or Take a Million". In fact, we are treated to music actually recorded from a library session accompanying Thunderbirds; bursting with cues that one can distinctly remember from appearances throughout the first and second seasons of Thunderbirds. For completist's sake, we are also provided with score from Move and Your Dead and the Mighty Atom, and from Danger at Ocean Deep and Day of Disaster - music which was originally composed for Stingray - though I do, of course, hope that these will be in their complete form, on Silva's future Stingray album.
And for the downsides? Really there are not many to speak of. I thought Silva had learnt their lesson with the release of the Captain Scarlet album which was a whopping 79 minutes long, but unfortunately we are only provided with 59 minutes of music on this second volume of Thunderbirds music. The first volume was also about an hour long so in effect we could have been provided with an extra 40 minutes of music from Thunderbirds - there still being unreleased cues not on either album - the Impostors being one such episode.
But in general both Thunderbirds soundtracks deliver a most comprehensive and entertaining selection of music, not to mention the excellent clarity of the music. Volume 2, in my opinion, contains more exciting and varied music than its predecessor demonstrating the wonderful all-round ability of music maestro Barry Gray. And finally, who would I recommend this to? - just about everyone who has a passing interest in Thunderbirds! 5*
One criticism would be that often two separate pieces are together on the same track, whereas it would perhaps be better as separate tracks. Also, the 'end title' music doesn't seem to be the music used on most episodes other than the pilot (forgive me if I am wrong here). Other than that, excellent, and definitely a better buy than the rather disappointing music by Hans Zimmer for the new film. I do hope that the next release will perhaps be the music used in the original films, Thunderbirds Are Go and Thunderbird 6, or maybe Joe 90.
All fans of Thunderbirds buy it NOW. You would be a fool not to.
