The Golden Age Of Science Fiction: Vol. 1 (CD)
THE GOLDEN AGE OF SCIENCE FICTION, VOL. 1, featuring two scores from one of the most creative periods of science fiction cinema, the 1950s.
The monster movie that waged terror during the 1930s and '40s gave way to spectacles about alien invasion, enlarged mutated flora & fauna, and the dangerous discoveries beyond Earth's horizons manifested new concepts in motion picture storytelling. But of course for every classic film, there were dozens of less stellar science fiction entertainment that found its way into cinema screens and drive-in theaters. Many of these were quickly and properly forgotten but low budget did not necessarily mean low quality, and some of these cheaply-made productions had a special charm about them
The music for WORLD WITHOUT END was composed by acclaimed film composer Leith Stevens, known for scoring some of the decade's most influential science fiction films, from George Pal's DESTINATION MOON (1950), WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE (1951) THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953) to his unique jazz-inflected scores for THE WILD ONE, CRASHOUT, and PRIVATE HELL 36. During the '60s he composed episodes of Irwin Allen's television series VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, LOST IN SPACE, THE TIME TUNNEL, and LAND OF THE GIANTS.
The score for QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE was composed by Marlin Skiles, who began working in Hollywood in 1933, where he orchestrated and scored many kinds of films. His earliest fantastic score was for Columbia's A THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS in 1945. He joined Allied Artists in 1952 as a staff composer, providing music for the studio's low-budget fantasy-comedies science fiction dramas such as THE MAZE (1953). After QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE, Skiles went on to score films for other studios, including SPOOK CHASERS (1957), THE HYPNOTIC EYE (1960), THE CRAWLING HAND (1963), JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF TIME (1967) and numerous films outside the science fiction genre.
