BACK IN THE DAWN OF TIME..............

..well the 80's to be precise. Saturday morning TV was full of cartoons. Some havn't aged well others have. Sabre Rider was a adaption of a Japanese OAV series. They changed all the dialogue, added extra scenes and scrapped other elements and we had Sabre Rider And The Star Sheriffs, another addition to the line ( Bravestarr and Galaxy Rangers beat it) of space cowboy/western cartoons.
I vaguely remember this. Never to watch it as a kid more just the image of it popped up somewhere. What prompted this post was the discovery of the first DVD ina local second hand shop for the grand price of 100 pence, a bargain you will agree. Well about a year ago I came across the original soundtrack to it by the very talented Dale Schacker and couldn't believe it.



You see, Dale was given compelte freedom of artistic license to do whatever the hell he wanted with the score. He created a huge, sprawling work. Synth and pop elements are present as is a lot of "real" electric guitar. The music itself has the recurring country/western feel as well as a hugely dramatic nature that stands out amongst many other similar animations. Here we have the full OST. Including all the different world versions of the main theme and the many variations and edits/remix's of some tracks. It concludes with a interesting at times boring at others interview with Mr Schacker. I can't get enough of this at the moment.

GIVE HIM A LUBE JOB AND SUGAR LUMP
