The Twilight Zone: Original Soundtrack Recording, Volume One (1985 Television Series) [Original recording remastered] [Soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
How many Deadheads remember that keyboardist and Grateful Dead compatriot Merl Saunders was music director of the 1985-86 season of The Twilight Zone? An entertaining artifact from a bygone era, this disc is filled with music composed, arranged, and performed by the Grateful Dead and Saunders. While Saunders tended toward jazz-lite indulgences and several compositions are under two minutes long, there are a few extended cuts that qualify as authentic Dead performances. With abbreviated descriptions of the episodes scored by Saunders and the Dead, this disc qualifies as a small footnote in the history of one of America's favorite bands. Naturally, the recording is dedicated to the memory of Rod Serling and Jerry Garcia, both of whom probably got a good laugh out of the whole thing. --Mitch Myers

This CD is a nastalgic way to remember the mind-boggling series and movie. In addition, the CD contains some excellent artists like the Grateful Dead. If you liked the series or movie, this is a must owner!
