It sucks...big time!
As a British musician ( writing adds for commercials ) I found this piece an insult to the original theme which, in my opinion, is one of the greatest bits of TV music ever. There was so much scope for a brilliant electronic minimalist re-write... and what did we get? A piece of music that starts with the original theme ( which got me way excited ) then launches into this generic, guitar and synth led, probably made in five minutes, pathetic, homogenized rubbish, not fit for a cheap child's toy advert effort ( if you can even call it an effort ).
I have been ashamed to let that one go out of my studio door. Horrible!
Such a shame, I was sooo looking forward to it as well.
