Space:1999 was perhaps the ultimate expression of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s screen ambitions: a lavish live-action series produced on a massive scale. Featuring star power in the form of Mission:Impossible actors Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, the visual tone of this new production would echo the cinematic flare of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.
For composer Barry Gray, Space:1999 would draw to a close a nearly 20 year association with Gerry Anderson which began in the faraway world of naive black and white puppetry of 1957’s The Adventures Of Twizzle. In a fitting finale, Barry would be called upon to compose the most grandiose and epic compositions of his career to match Space:1999’s equally sweeping premise.
With a greater emphasis placed upon action and adventure for the second series accomplished Yorkshire born composer Derek Wadsworth was tasked with meeting the brief. As both a jazz musician and arranger he had worked for many years as a session musician playing on dozens of hit records. With his appointment to the series, Wadsworth effortlessly conveyed tension and peril as well as navigating many lighter moments which the new series created.

『サンダーバード』『キャプテンスカーレット』などのスーパーマリオネーションの生みの親ジェリー・アンダーソンが、『謎の円盤UFO』に続いて製作したSFライブアクション『スペース1999』。主演は、『スパイ大作戦』から、おしどり夫婦であったマーティン・ランドとバーバラ・ペインを迎え、『逃亡者』のバリー・モースなどベテランが脇を固める。月面基地で起こった爆発事故により月が軌道を外れて宇宙空間に飛び出し、月面基地、ムーンベース・アルファの隊員たちは月とともに宇宙を放浪。さまざまな危険に遭遇しながらこれを解決していく・・・。シーズン1は、1974年から75年にかけて放送。音楽は、ジェリー・アンダーソン作品には欠かせないバリー・グレイが担当。シーズン2は、1976年?77年にかけて放送。音楽は、バリー・グレイにかわってデレク・ワズワースが担当。奇想天外なストーリーや登場する宇宙船も魅力的だが、臨場感のある音楽もファンの心を掴む。今回初めてシーズン2の音楽がCD化となり、『スペース1999』の魅力が十分に楽しめる内容になっている。
