初期作品ということもあり、『サンダーバード』と比べるとキャラクターが微妙なところも味わい深い。 音楽を担当するのは勿論、ジェリー・アンダーソン作品には欠かせないバリー・グレイ。 今まで『スーパーカー』の音楽はバリー・グレイ作品集『Stand by for action』などのコンピに数曲収録されていただけで今回単体のサントラ盤としてCDになるのは初めて。 主題歌から胸躍る内容で、これはファン必聴の1枚になること間違いなし！！
今後も『宇宙船XL-5』『海底大戦争スティングレイ』などリリース予定です。
Barry Gray’s original Television score for Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation show.
Following from Four Feather Falls, Supercar was the second Gerry Anderson show to use the Supermarionation technique. Based on the Czech style of marionette puppetry, Supermarionation was Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s development of the technique to include synchronisation of puppet’s lip movements with pre-recorded dialogue.
Between 1961 and 1962, thirty-nine episodes were produced. Due to lack of funding and speed of production, Barry Gray had to produce music fast; he composed a series of ‘themes’ for locations, situation and characters. The main star of the show, the Super car, was given the heroic theme, whilst the rest of the score is at times whimsical and charming to support the dialogue and at others menacing when underlining the drama. The orchestra was comprised of forty instrumentalists and was conducted by Barry himself.
Barry Gray was amongst the first composers to use electronic instruments in music for television. One such instrument was the Ondes Martenot, used to produce otherworldly musical motifs and fragments and later to create electronic sound effects in his future score for Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Other shows he later used this instrument for include Doppelganger and Doctor Who films Dr Who and the Daleks and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 AD.
On this album, the 20 themes featured create a coherent listening experience. They guide the listener through the music map of the show.

スーパーマリオネーションの傑作『サンダーバード』の起点となる記念すべき作品！
トラックリスト『サンダーバード』『謎の円盤UFO』などで有名な英国TV界の名匠ジェリー・アンダーソンにとって、4作目となる人形劇『スーパーカー』。
台詞の音声に反応して人形の唇が動く電磁機構を活用して特撮技術で未来メカの活躍をリアルに描く「スーパーマリオネーション」というジャンルを確立した記念すべき作品。
ビーカー博士とポプキス教授が発明した空でも海でも進める夢の乗り物“スーパーカー”による冒険劇。しかしこの“スーパーカー”には、ひとつだけ欠点があった。それは…道路の上は走れないこと。
初期作品ということもあり、『サンダーバード』と比べるとキャラクターが微妙なところも味わい深い。
音楽を担当するのは勿論、ジェリー・アンダーソン作品には欠かせないバリー・グレイ。
今まで『スーパーカー』の音楽はバリー・グレイ作品集『Stand by for action』などのコンピに数曲収録されていただけで今回単体のサントラ盤としてCDになるのは初めて。
