Amazon.com essential recording:
John Williams, then still known as "Johnny," spent a decade scoring a wide variety of TV shows, from Playhouse 90 to Gilligan's Island, before moving up the food chain into feature-film scoring. His association with producer Irwin Allen was a crucial one; Williams's work on Allen's slew of mid-'60s sci-fi TV shows (Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants) led to breakthrough assignments on the producer's Earthquake and Towering Inferno film blockbusters. This collection from the ever-enduring Lost in Space encompasses Williams's first-season main title (the "mod" second/third season title appears on Vol. 2) and three suites of cues from the show's initial "serious" season. A good study of the concise economics of TV scoring, Williams's Herrmannesque motifs (including one theremin-laced piece that's almost too close to The Day the Earth Stood Still for comfort) usually place strong brass statements over roiling wind figures to great effect. Not exactly music for a rainy afternoon, but surprisingly engaging nonetheless. --Jerry McCulley

I can't for the life of me understand why GNP Crescendo has deleted this CD, unless the "Ever-Worshipped Almighty Dollar" had its say. It featured none other than the music of John Williams.... THE John Williams. I'm sure the CD didn't sell like a Jennifer Lopez release,.... which is probably to its credit, but the "Lost in Space" first season music should be considered a part of our musical patrimony. Sure it's all absorbed into each and every episode on DVD, but could it be possible that some of ... Read More

I am of the decided opinion that MORNING AFTER from THE HUNGRY SEA is the single greatest piece of music ever written in the history of the universe. I am not engaging in idle hyberbole. I really mean it. (And my apologies to Kim Carnes for having relegated BETTE DAVIS EYES to a #2 position.) Here's a tidbit I noticed: There's an ascending trumpet finale motif at the end of both THE RELUCTANT STOWAWAY and THE HUNGRY SEA. Williams took that motif and slowed it down to create MORNING AFTER. I was irritated ... Read More

The Lost in Space Volume 1 soundtrack is an outstanding and long overdue release of the wonderfully written music by John Williams, best known for his scores to the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films. Mostly tracks from the first season of Lost in Space (which I though was the best) This CD is a must for all Lost in Space fans, and for all fans of classic sci fi shows, and followers of John Williams. Highly recommended.

NONE! We own all three years of "Lost In Space" on video. I've always heard the music accompany the dialogue and the action. To hear the soundtrack in both stereo and without any other distractions (I don't say this in a negative way) elevates the music into a whole new universe. Put your headphones on and you'll find yourself "lost in sound", a serious, symphonic journey with Mahler-like intensity. The sound quality is excellent. The horns, strings (especially the plunging violins and the deep tug and pull ... Read More

As children we delighted in this glorious music, now we are given this incredible gift of the best of John Williams' score for "Lost In Space". From the opening track of the main title I was immediately impressed with the excellent sound quality. Whoever remastered these tracks should be commended for the care that they took. All the best known cues are here, the cues that were used countless times during the three year run. And it is magnificent to hear them un-edited, without the sound effects and dialogue. ...
