Album: Sci-Fi’s Finest – Volume One
Composer: Various
Label: Silva Screen Records
Release Date: September 13, 2011
Ever wonder what a dude from Comic-Con would play to set the mood for his lady? Well, if he was lucky enough to take home the Cheetara from day two? Look no further than then Sci-Fi’s Finest – Volume One; three dozen songs and themes from the best that the offbeat side of entertainment has to offer. For someone who has about 60 theme songs on her own iPod, this is a dream come true album.
Yes, these aren’t the themes I usually gravitate towards, but I can’t help but want to slide the Futurama and Knight Rider theme into my permanent collection. Why? Because if you’re someone who considers yourself not just a fan but a super fan, the one with every fact and figure about your favorite TV show or movie, you’re going to want to own the music as well. It doesn’t matter which one you wish upon, whether it’s Stargate, Star Wars, or Star Trek, they’re all here to make your day a lot more nerdtacular. So if you want to be pretend you’re in The Twilight Zone or The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this album’s for you — go and get yourself a copy of Sci-Fi’s Finest – Volume 1.
