Review
Shadow Dancing (#321) is part of the episodic CD series, with relatively short, “Varèse”-like play lengths, available at a reduced price. These are not great compositions, arranged as suites, but rather phantastic synthesized soundscapes, changing in style as the screen action demands, the complete score for a single episode. From the musical point of view, rather average, of course, since only the product of one week.
I can recommend this CD only to the most thrilled fans of the TV series with interest the music.
