jonab 1,644 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 The appearance of Strauss' Four Last Songs on here brought these uppermost in my mind Also From Wagner, the most passionate vocal music of all time: An orgasm in music!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deepdene Boy 642 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Margie, I remember watching Survivorrs back in the '70s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Deepdene, I've only watched the first episode but I expect subsequent ones are on YouTube. I 'm definitely going to watch them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,217 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Who remembers Quatermass, the TV series in the fifties and the movie Quatermass and the Pit in the late 70's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,377 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I do Oz and I can remember the locust style of walking of those affected in the 50's series... The 70's not so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,710 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I wasn't allowed to watch Quatermass on the telly because my Mum didn't like that sort of thing. I did see Quatermass and the Pit on the cinema though, and several times on the TV since. It was on last night on some channel. It was released in 1967. Margie, I recall watching Survivors, though I have a vague memory that the series sort of ran out of steam. A similar thing happened with the kids SF series Tripods.

Beekay 5,094 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 The thing I remember most about Quatermass, which always put the wind up me as a child, was the intro music= "Mars, the bringer of War". Incidentally, for the last 14years, my next door neighbours have been Mr. & Mrs. Quatermass ! They moved to Seaford, about 3 months ago. They are both in late eighties.

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Funny you should say that BK, I too had nightmares over the one and only episode I watched as a kid. I happened to see the episode that scared me a couple of years back, somewhere on the internet, and Jeeze, it was so primitive, made me wonder what scared me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 It was only years after before I found out about the music. Of course it was Gustav Holtz, "The Planets Suite". I've still got the album I bought way back in the early seventies, (will have to transfer it to cd or MP3). When we first moved to sheltered housing in 2005, I was introduced to Mr.Quatermass, I thought it were a joke. A bit embarrassing really as he remarked that I wasn't the first to disbelieve. All this about fifty years after watching the series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I have a mono vinyl I bought in the 60's of the Planet Suite, in the 90's I purchased a stereo CD of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Ayup, I cannot believe how quick your response is !! Considering how far apart we are. Technology still amazes me. At least a great diversion from the current nightmare we are all in.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
