Spider-Man cues (1967-70)

[Walk the Skies 202]

Making a new post here to state that someone on Discogs has added photos of BM 415, confirming it to be part of the Dramatic Tableaux suites.

After another long period of nothing new being found, I've found the organ piece and chord in Phantom from the Depths of Time.

- "Part 4 - Coda" by Trevor Duncan (beetles are robots)
- "Part 5 - Fugue" by Trevor Duncan (both times the organ chord plays)

Both of these tracks came from Impress IA 193, and were remastered back in April on APM Music.

  This is great! Thanks for letting us know!

Note about "Forbidding" - per the Production Music Wiki, its original title is apparently simply "Dramatic #10", and released on PMS Vol. 1, No. 10. However, this doesn't mean it was originally released under a different name prior, possibly on an unknown "D"-series album from Hi-Q.

I'm starting to suspect that most if not all of the Capitol tracks came from the reissues through Ultra Music Services. All the tracks used from the various Capitol subsidiaries are all by Loose, Cadkin, and/or Cookerly, the titles of the tracks from 4-PMS-2 on the UMS release matches the titles used on SABAM years ago, and all the available photos of UMS have stamping to indicate they were distributed by Emil Ascher Inc., which I've never seen on PMS or Hi-Q albums, and all the other libraries the music editors used were also all distributed by Emil Ascher at the time.

Speaking of the Production Music wiki, I've also found the sometime recently their page for the Conroy 78's was updated with info for BM 352. I don't know where they got it from, but it seems to indicate that there are a fourth and fifth Dark Fantastic on there, making it very likely one of them could be the last missing Don Banks track in Vine and Dr. Dumpty.

Yeah, considering the editors on the Spidey show used cues from Ascher-distributed libraries (as we both know), there's no question about the Capitol cues used on the show being sourced from the UMS reissues. The only thing left to find out is what the UMS retitle for the piece is, so I'd be in favor of putting "Dramatic #10" as a temp name on the cue breakdowns in the interim until that can be revealed

Has anyone found the Spiderman Music cue source used at the beginning of episode The Big Brainwasher ?
The same music group was also featured in season 2 with the Cafe scene of episode Home.

After much waiting, the remaining Conroy BM tracks have finally been found.

BM 352:
- "Dark Fantastic 5" by Don Banks ("Death of Vine"; Vine, The Devious Dr. Dumpty)

BM 415:
- "Compulsion" by Paul Gerard ("Zap reveals Skyboy"; Spider-Man Meets Skyboy)
- "Palpitation" by Paul Gerard ("interrogation"; Spider-Man Meets Skyboy)
- "The Accuser" by Paul Gerard ("Lightning Mountain"; Spider-Man Meets Skyboy)
- "Night Shot" by Paul Gerard ("Vargas' volcano"; Cloud City of Gold, Spider-Man Meets Skyboy, Cold Storage)
- "Mesmerism" by Paul Gerard ("Destruction of Gorth"; Revolt in the Fifth Dimension)

With that, the breakdowns for Vine and Dr. Dumpty are now complete, and there are now only 16 remaining unknown tracks.

Huge shoutouts go to jakej at Internet Archive for uploading these and other Conroy albums, and to musictheorist for posting about them.

It would appear to me the L-135/136 Loose cues were actually licensed through Emil Ascher's "Ruthanne" library. There's one album listed on Discogs for this label with all Loose material, and although it's impossible to tell if it's the same cue but extended (there are some OGM cues on the X-series like "Big Band Congress" which are shortened on the Hi-Q reel it's on), there's one track labelled "Progress Report" on it.

Redirect to the Marvel Superheroes thread...

Thanks to the WSBG Returns Yet Again!'s recent Video Moods shares, a few of the long-rumored Video Moods Spider-Man tracks have finally been identified!

- "Chronometry" ("soft cue"; Neptune's Nose Cone, To Cage a Spider, Specialists and Slaves)
- "Portents" ("proton danger"; Home, To Cage a Spider, Specialists and Slaves)
- "Flurry" (MSH, first used in Cloud City of Gold; multiple episodes)
- "The Long Walk" ("Kingpin gloats"; The Big Brainwasher)
- "Velocity" (MSH flight cue; multiple episodes)
- "Rage" ("tractor beam"; Spider-Man Meets Skyboy)

All tracks are from EA 1068, and all are composed by Ward Sills.


Additionally, due to The Long Walk and Chronometry being different tracks than I thought they were, I've posited two new theories regarding EA 1067's tracks in the updated list:
- The "awakening / crooks" track that I've long had trouble pinning a name to may possibly be Fate, given that the track sounds like Sills' other works and the title implies maybe it's a slower drama-laden one.
- "Sp. awaits Dr. Cool" I've decided to list as possibly being Propulsion, the one Sills track I've yet to really mention. Given that this one wasn't on EA 1068, is definitely not Pursuit, Furious Encounter, or Quicksand given its length, and if Fate is the "awakening / crooks" track, then this one would probably be Propulsion by process of elimination.
