"Go, Jayce, conqueror from afar, look for your father ..."
And with these words Jayce and the lightning league battled the Monster Minds and Saw Boss for 65 episodes. Produced by the hilariously named (at least I thought at the time) DIC studios and overseen by Jean Chalopin (of Mysterious Cities of Gold, Ulysses 31, Inspector Gadget and tonnes of other formative cartoons from the 80s) the show was grand and cheesy operatic drama and a big part of this was due to the epic music, created by Shuki Levy.
The soundtrack for the series has never been released… until now. Tele 80 has crowdfunded the OST for a September release on CD and Vinyl. In their words, translated by Google translate from the original French:
The collection would allow us to finance the different stages while having control of the design. For this, we pay special attention to:
Different covers, such as vinyl which will be highlighted thanks to its selective varnish which will bring out the characters and the title.
The model
Mastering and mixing, which will be managed by Erwin, an enthusiast, but also a remarkable sound engineer.
A 16-page booklet provided on the CD. It will contain, among other things, an exclusive interview with singer Nick Carr!
A box which would bring together the CD, the vinyl and a poster (the "Box Collector" option will only be active if we have 100 orders )
Mixing until pressing of vinyl and CD.
24 tracks.
I’ve ordered the vinyl and CD combo pack for about 42 GBP (incl. postage and packaging) and look forward to receiving it. Until then, let’s belt out some hair rock!
