The Crystal Maze theme

Recreation of the 1990 The Crystal Maze opening theme tune, 'Force Field'. I created this in Cubase in January 2024, finishing it off in March 2024. I used the Dexed, Halion Sonic SE, Korg Collection 2 M1, Spitfire Audio BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover and Groove Agent ONE VST instruments along with a Roland D-05 for the sounds. The theme was composed by Zack Laurence. This version was created by Oliver Sacker.

Amazing work. As a TV theme nerd I really appreciate these super clean, super accurate master recreations, especially for themes where high-quality versions of the original are difficult to find. Getting the KZbin notification that you'd made one for one of my favourite themes ever genuinely brightened my day, and this is absolutely gonna be my new ringtone (replacing my previous one, which is your Men Behaving Badly recreation). Your channel deserves more recognition!

[@OliverSacker]

Thank you. Glad you enjoy the recreations.

[@MattTaylorClark]

Absolutely astonishing! , how do you do it ! , every single beat and instrument is spot on . Must take ages to get it this perfect to the original. Thanks for the heads up 👏🏻

[@OliverSacker]

Thank you, really appreciate your comment. Such a great theme to have a go at recreating.

[@JayGeeBee07]

absolutely spot on! any chance of doing the All Star Family fortunes theme, that'd be awesome

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks!

[@terratec1001]

Superb recreation, Mister. If you ever get the urge to do ITV's Interceptor (1989/1990), that would be awesome.

[@OliverSacker]

Thank you. Yes, that's another great theme.

Good suggestion.

Was this a Zack Lawrence composition? Certainly sounds like one.

[@OliverSacker]

Yes, it's by Zack Laurence.

[@uberswampmonsta]

will you start the fans PLEASE

[@OliverSacker]

Classic!

[@Dovoro.]

Apologies for being that guy, but the first note is incorrect in each ascending arpeggio. For example, the first arpeggio should be E, G#, C# - creating the C# Minor arpeggio, starting on the 3rd, This is opposed to your use of C#, G, C# - effectively using the octave but missing the minor element. I couldn’t hear it without mentioning it, hope this is taken in the good spirit it’s meant, as a fellow theme tune creator of many years ago! Excellent arrangement and voice choices, another great job among your many!

[@OliverSacker]

Yes, you're right. Well spotted! I missed that, but it makes sense to avoid the duplication of the C# note in the bass line. I might change it for my archived project. Thanks for commenting and pointing it out.

[@Dovoro.]

@@OliverSacker thanks for taking it well, thousands wouldn’t have! I know I’d have appreciated it, roles reversed. If it helps, there are plenty of holes to find in my attempts from 25 years ago in the Stone Age, so do feel free! Wish I had the time to do what you’re doing, I used to love spending hours on Cakewalk! ATB 👍🏼

I don't know if you've already got it, but how about Tetris' Korobiniki? [Not sure if I've spelled it right]

Thanks for the suggestion.
