's music from forgotten 70's TV series Man From Atlantis
is my original holy grail.While it's wonderful that, thanks to the power of the internets, I can regularly listen to the section of music that I've been humming in my head since 1977, it's still not the same as having a proper CD release of it, in clear sound and without dialogue and sound effects. But here it is.
I don't know why this wistful, harpsichord-y tune cemented itself in my memory bank, but it did. I still retain such strong affection for the show and wouldn't mind seeing the series released on DVD, since I haven't seen it since its original run.
But it's the music that really haunts me.
Here's the main title sequence.
And here's a cover version of the theme that's suitably trippy.
I also love Austin Wintory's cover version
, available as a single download.
And now here's a rockin' version of that wistful theme, accompanying Patrick Duffy
's race with the dolphin.The closest I've gotten to a CD release of this music is Fred Karlin's Futureworld
, which is similar in tone.And so concludes this random post of nostalgia.

Was doing a podcast on Man From Atlantis a couple weeks ago and was overjoyed to find the cover version available in iTunes.
Not a match for the series main theme, but still just as haunting a memorable as the original. (Perhaps a bit more haunting)
When I sat down to watch Man From Atlantis after 33 years, all that a really remembered - and how vivid it was in my mind - was the Fred Karlin theme.
