タイム・トンネル (3枚組)
THE TIME TUNNEL - VOL ONE (3CD)

アーウィン・アレン製作×特撮:LBアボットによる1966～1967年の大ヒットタイムトラベルSFアドベンチャーTVシリーズのオリジナル・サウンドトラック集第１弾！ジョニー・ウィリアムズと名乗っていた頃の初期の作品。音楽は他にリン・マーレイ、ポール・ソーテル、ロバート・ドラスニン。限定1000セット。

1968年、莫大な国家予算を投入した極秘の時間航行プロジェクト「チックタック計画」は、転送装置であるタイム・トンネルの完成目処が立たないために計画打ち切りが検討されていた。時間航行が可能な段階まで装置の開発は進んでいたのだが、時間旅行者を転送する年代や回収の制御が困難で、実用まではまだ先が見えない状態なのだ。計画の存続を願って自ら装置で時間航行をして機能を証明しようと時の流れの中へ旅立った若き科学者トニー・ニューマン。彼が降り立ったのは、氷山と接触して沈没することになる豪華客船「タイタニック号」の船上であった。トニーが危機に陥ったことを、所長以下タイム・トンネルのスタッフたちが察知し、救助のため同僚の科学者ダグ・フィリップスも後を追うところから二人を主人公とする果てし無い時間旅行のドラマが始まる。
タイム・トンネルがある研究所では、転送先の状況をモニターしたり会話ができるため、ダグやトニーに現代から様々なサポートを行なうが、最終目的は二人を現代へ帰還させることである。毎回現代への回収を試みるが、未完の装置であるために失敗に終り異なる時代に転送してしまう。
ドラマはエピソード毎に歴史上の事件に遭遇し、危機的状況にありながらも事態を収拾。その後に転送により時間を漂流する、という一話完結形式で展開されていく。ハレー彗星の地球接近に伴うパニック、トロイの木馬、リンカーン暗殺など歴史上の有名な事件が毎回登場し、各時代で危機に陥りながら活躍する主人公の姿が史実やその裏話的エピソードを交えて描かれていく。
さらにシリーズ後半では、時間を操るアーサー王伝説の魔術師マーリン、地球を狙う異星人たちが登場し、史実を超えた奇想天外な物語も存分に楽しめる。
監督：アーウィン・アレン、ネイザン・ジュラン、他。出演：ジェームズ・ダーレン、ロバート・コルバート、リー・メリウェザー、他。1966～1967米。

La-La Land Records, Synthesis Entertainment, 20th Century Studios and Legendary Pictures proudly present THE TIME TUNNEL: ORIGINAL TELEVISION SOUNDTRACK COLLECTION ? VOL. 1: LIMITED EDITION, a deluxe 3-CD collection of original music from the classic Irwin Allen 1966-1967 sci-fi/time-travel adventure television series!

This beloved series chronicled the time-traveling adventures of two scientists flung into varied pasts and futures via a top-secret, underground government base called Project Tic-Toc. THE TIME TUNNEL was producer Irwin Allen’s favorite series among the ones he produced, and unlike LOST IN SPACE, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA or LAND OF THE GIANTS, it would require the show’s scores to reflect not only the series’ overall sci-fi drama and adventure, but also the varied pasts and presents each episode would visit. Thankfully, a group of talented composers was more than up to this challenge!

This first volume collection of original music from THE TIME TUNNEL features dynamic work from acclaimed composers Johnny Williams, Lyn Murray, Paul Sawtell and Robert Drasnin. who demonstrate fine examples of exciting 1960s television scoring. The show’s pilot “Rendezvous With Yesterday” kicks off this deluxe presentation, which also showcases music from the episodes “One Way to the Moon,” “End of the World,” “The Day the Sky Fell In,” The Last Patrol,” and “Crack of Doom,” with additional music cues also featured, including the debut of the actual Williams’ “time travel” music that played at the beginning of most episodes. Limited to 1000 units, this 3-CD set is produced by Jeff Bond and Neil S. Bulk, executive produced for 20th Century Studios by Mike Matessino, and digitally edited and mastered from original mono recordings by James Nelson. The exclusive liner notes are by Jeff Bond and the art design is by Mark Banning.

This release is dedicated to the late and greatly missed Kevin Burns. His undying passion for all things Irwin Allen made our Irwin Allen soundtrack releases possible, including this one, which he was thrilled to make available to the fans.
