JUST MUSIC series - vol 87

Genre: early electronics, soundtrack, 60's electronics, sci-fi.

When the big brown envelope was found in the warehouse of the famous TV station, half-hidden behind a shelf where it had fallen, all television historians were baffled. It contained an audiocassette, some scribbled notes, and a print proof.
Apparently, a British sci-fi series called "Movements in time" was planned sometime between the mid-60's and the early 70's. The notes don't reveal much about its plot. From what little can be inferred, it was about a few children and teenagers with the ability to move through time and an organization that wanted to exploit their powers. The episodes would have likely been about the children running away from the bad guys by hiding in different historical periods, in the typical British science fiction atmosphere.
The notes were probably jotted down by the musician who was going to provide the soundtrack; in fact, the most relevant content of the envelope is a badly battered tape - probably a fourth or fifth generation copy damaged by humidity, too - containing six tracks, including what appear to be the opening and closing themes (the ones opening and closing the tape). The pieces are indicated just as "Time demo 01," "Time demo 02" etc on the handwritten piece of paper folded inside the tape case. Evidently, this was a sketchy demo tape for the show's score. It's hard to date the electronic instruments it was performed on, some might be from the late 50's, others from the early 70's, but who knows what the set-up was.
Finally, the envelope contained the print proof for the LP cover (used as front cover of this edition), which is very odd, considering the music was still in demo form and the show was still being developed.
There is no mention of this series in any archive or magazine, and yet the planning seemed to have almost reached the pre-production stage. Why was it canceled? Who created it? Who was going to produce it? Who composed and performed this soundtrack demo?
This show might have become a classic, or maybe a flop, we'll never know, but we sure would love to know more about it. Hopefully, the researchers will keep digging and find some new information. For now, this is yet another mystery in sci-fi TV history and all we can enjoy is this demo cassette.

P.S.: all of the above is fiction, but imagine it's true while listening to this album or it will make very little sense ;-)
