wow never knew this existed!

Good stuff, Matt. More lost soundtrack work from that period, just like that Paris musical.

Interesting reference to working with Propaganda. Their album 1234 came out in 1990, so I'm guessing this is after that release?

As much as i want to watch 2 hours of this documentary... where's a good place to start for UW sounds?

It looks like it aired in mid-1993:

Based on some production information, and Karl's letter above, it looks like it was produced in late 1992 though.

yes, most of Karl's letters at this time were written in one go covering a large period of time...

but he refers to this coming out in early 1993, so i suspect it was produced around mid 1992.

as much as i have only scanned these two episodes myself, the music is NOT that heavily used and is really only snippets of stuff here and there...

the documentary is considered a great viewing if you are interested in the corruption of the oil industry - it rates at 8.6 on IMDb as a Documentary which is really good - well worth watching in its entirety if you have the inclination or time!

however its a lot of talking and not much music, but there are noticeable UW sounds used in spots throughout the more industrial and 'skyscrapery' shots... seems they used different musical influences to add to the different era's and UW was only used as the series entered the late 80's and 90's Gulf war relevance to Oil. At the time it was probably a good fit with the UW soundscapes.

anyway, its history...and worth adding - i'll put it in the UW archival book when i get round to knocking it together.... :)
