There are also no track names for the score cues. My only complaint is there are only two episode scores on the CD – they could have easily dumped "Politics of Love" and "Remember the Knights of Love" and fit another episode score on the CD. The best I can tell that it's the exact same version playing under the above track. This is not a special arrangement for an instrumental version. The important thing left out of the booklet is who composed this orchestra backing.
I loved loved loved Peake's two brief arrangements of the song in V1, (though they just may be edits). I'm a score lover and 99.9% of the time I am AGAINST songs being on a score CD, but this is a rare exception because the song is beautiful and has a wonderful instrumental melody underneath it. I was actually going to ask Hitchcock Media if it's possible to include that on a future CD. This is a sound, with I think Hasselhoff singing "Hearts of Stone": not quite what the first episode score was, but still lots of fun. This score also features an instrument not on any of the other CDs: a saxophone "Topaz Connection": what a great "Knight Rider" '80's score! At times it's almost theatrical in its sound - Peake could have easily gotten films Dave Grusin or Lalo Schifrin got and did the funk with, but why he didn't, I don't know. It's a little annoying, like the long remix of the "Futurama" theme from the agency promotional score CD (Christopher Tyng). The CD starts off with a long remix of the main title music it's basically the same, with an extra backbeat added, then some samples of K.I.T.T. There is one slightly annoying thing: when a score is recorded, before each take the man in the mixing booth calls out which cue it is ("Cue 2M3, take three") and on the CD those call outs are left in and not edited out. The crystal clarity, the dynamics, the fullness of it, and so far not too much reverb as V1 occasionally suffered from. In fact, it's almost completely on par with 's mastering Stu Phillips's music for their (sold out) Knight Rider score CD. First off, I got to comment on the mastering: the mastering on this CD is superior to Volume 1, no question.
