Dedicated to the superheroes who decorated your underwear when you were a kid (and many more who didn't), Defenders lets listeners revisit a time when a world in which men who could fly, climb skyscrapers, and morph into green monsters seemed possible. Naturally this lends itself to camp with such kitschy songs as "Wonder Woman," "Astro Boy," and "Batman." There are also some serious compositions that hold up surprisingly well, like "Superman: The Movie," "Escape from New York," and the melancholy "Incredible Hulk," plus "Knight Rider" and "The Six Million Dollar Man." Despite a few glaring omissions--Battle of the Planets, The Omega Man, and Flash Gordon--diversity reigns on Defenders as it progresses from outer space cadets to costumed crusaders to technologically enhanced heroes. Now if only they'd included a life-size poster of Lynda Carter... --Bryan Reesman

Although, by no means comprehensive (Underdog, but no Mighty Mouse), Defenders of Justice has many of the best theme songs from the superhero world. I had forgotten the theme music to the Flash TV show until I had heard it on this album. Batman seems to be over-represented a bit, however, any album that has both Astro Boy and the Power Rangers is impressive to me. The Incredible Hulk theme on the album was the song from the beginning, not the easily remembered end credits theme. Also the Mortal ... Read More

This CD has some of the most standout themes ranging from the 60's to the 90's. Though the only track I find misleading is the Amazing Spiderman one. In the booklet, it discusses the live action show from the 1970's but the track itself does not represent that. The theme comes from the 1960's animated Spiderman show. Though I would have liked if this was the one from the 1970's show, it's okay none the less. Putting that aside, the CD has alot good themes and some I thought were hard to get a hold of.

This one will take you back to the good old days of getting up early on Saturday mornings to sit in front of the t.v. for half the day. Lots of cool tracks on this one, like the 60's version of the Astroboy theme (though the newer one is much cooler, in my humble opinion); Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet (which are sort of like cousins to each other); Underdog; Batman: The Animated Series (one of the most amazing shows ever. Period.); The Green Hornet with it's great rendition of "Flight of the Bumblebee" ... Read More

The theme songs were the oririnals from all of my favorite TV shows when I was a little girl! I closed my eyes, listened to my favorites like Astro-Boy, Gigantor, and The Green Hornet. I felt my pigtails grow back, and tasted Bosco on my lips. If you want to go back in time too, I'd recommend this CD highly.

The music is from the actual TV shows and films, however some of the tracks (KNIGHT RIDER, SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN) do not contain the dialog that is heard on those shows ("Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist"; the communication between Steve Austin and Houston--the track starts at the crash and has Oscar Goldman's dialog, which isn't bad). The music is uplifting and inspiring for writing sci-fi, if you're into doing that sort of thing.
