Most of you already might have noticed that the first five episodes (aka the 1986 pilot) contain background music that differs slightly from the subsequent episodes. While the bgm from episodes 1-4 could be described as early versions of the later ones we know, it's episode 5 that draws my attention. This episode does have some music (in fact, all its music) that is completly unique to the entire series. Stylisticly, it differs a lot from the rest. I wonder who actually wrote this music, or if it might have been originating from another source (tv series, movie or even from opera or something like that). All things concerned, the music suits the episode very well and adds so much to the episode's dramatic feel.

I'll have to watch that episode again to hear. I watched them all in order only once, so I didn't catch everything in the first go around. I wonder what else I missed.  |

I hadn't paid attention closely to the background music on that particular episode either... without knowing any history, my initial guess would be that the TV people might have tried their own music for that particular episode rather than the AlchemyII/George Wilkins produced music we heard throughout the rest of the series. When I listen to the music on that episode I will be able to tell a little better if it was Wilkins' stuff or not... he has a pretty distinct style and one that fit Teddy beautifully.

Refresh my memory: Is episode 5 where Teddy et. al escape from the Hard to Find City after rescuing Princess Aruzia? If so, then yes, I noticed this before. Definitely a different source for the music. I know I've heard at least one of the cues (I believe it's used when Wooly wakes up after falling off the cliff, relieving everyone's fears that he had died) in a movie trailer or something long ago. This leads me to believe that the different background music used in this episode might have been "stock music", music that is composed and recorded for general use in radio, TV, movies, etc., rather than something that was composed specifically for the Teddy show.
