Definitely a case where you're getting your money's worth when you buy the CD. The Amazing Stories score collections are meticulously documented - almost to a ridiculous degree, down to knowing what day and time each session was recorded 20 years ago. I can't recommend them highly enough. And Timeflyer nailed which episode and scene I included right on the money.

I wasn't aware of the existance of the Amazing Stories soundtracks...I'll have to see if they're still available. I guess I haven't bought that many scores this year.

However,I'm pretty sure you started out with a clip from Galatica, and ended with one from Amazing Stories. The last I know which bit it is: "The Train Arrives" by John Williams from the "Ghost Train" episode(and for which many symbolized what went right and what went wrong with the series as a whole). Nice touch and Merry Christmas. I’m not sure if I could identify all of the music in your embedded file.
