Cult TV Classics
As far as I can tell this contains all the original versions of some classic TV theme tunes from the 60s' and 70s' most of which will be instantly memorable to many even if some of the actual shows themselves haven't been seen since the reign of Margaret Thatcher although a quick scan through the current TV listings will probably show, in the UK at least , that a fair few of them are still showing on ITV 8 or Bozo + 3 or one of many other such mind sapping channels. Okay a few veer towards the genre that lads mags of the mid 90s' seemed to want foist on an impressionable readership , "Lounge Music", but that shouldn't detract from the buzz you may get as your brain opens up long forgotten memory cells as you hear the theme tunes to "Joe 90", "Tomorrow People","Batman" and ,cliche ahead ,the stirring "Thunderbirds"once again. As this is ripped from a tape the quality seemed to drop a tad over the first few tracks but they are both still very much listenable as is the rest of it apart from the pointless Joe 9o remix.
Warning: Over exposure to the theme tune to Robinson Crusoe may induce those of a certain age to regress to a state of childhood and hanker for mornings in front of the telly during school holidays , or maybe it's just me.

Great post - but the files are fucked - "The achive 'cultv' could not be expanded, the file '01 The Man From U.N.C.L.E...mp3' it contains seems to be broken" - any chance of a re-up?
Another music blog pissing in the wind with a selection of sounds given a spin to on any one particular fine day while gazing out of the loft window onto the mega city below .Hope you can join me too.Anything goes sound wise , although if your looking for the latest "hits" to hoover up for free to add to a never listened to itunes library this probably ain't the place for you.All other music lovers most welcome and hope you find something to groove to, as I have on some of the prolific and interesting blogs that are out there.
If you download the music from the links provided and find you dig the groovy sounds man you can do the right thing and support the artists by maybe buying thier CDs,product etc.If you don't like the music just delete it from your computer and try something else.
