Rating: 
Released in cinemas prior to a successful television series, this TV pilot sits firmly at the fiction end of the sci-fi spectrum. Likewise, Stu Phillips score is engaging, good fun and unashamedly 1970s, complete with cheesy theme tune, ‘Suspension’. The cues, while undeniably lightweight are melodic enough to propel the album forward with surprisingly entertaining results, at times verging on disco (’Something Kinda Funky‘), with quirky electronic effects representing drone Twiki, pulsing their way through several cues, including the strangely hypnotic ’Introducing: Twiki & Dr. Theo’. Phillips’ impressive track record of writing hit TV themes, including ‘Knight Rider‘ and ‘The Fall Guy’ means that this is very much for mass consumption but it will be well played and much enjoyed.
