![]() This is so cool, I never pictured the Dead appreciating Peter Gabriel. And bine that beat with four particular notes slowly ascending, as the Dead do at around 00:40, and again more seriously around 01:20, and it suddenly becomes more of an actual cover version! HUH? The original Peter Gabriel track features some VERY heavy African drummers at the end.my guess is that Hart and Kreutzmann heard of the incredible drumming in that track. I thought of it as soon as "Nightcrawlers" began. I am quite certain about this! It is a great song to begin with, with a distinctive beat. ![]() PS: The track "Nightcrawlers" is riffing on an unlikely source: "The Rhythm of the Heat", the first track from Peter Gabriel's album Security. So, here and there when the actual Twilight Zone motif keeps cropping up, suddenly it all makes perfect sense! I had read about this music, which resulted in wishing for easier access to it. There are a lot of textures and moods, some creepy or even sinister, others more gently mysterious. Some truly excellent "Space" jams, going WAY out there. These 1994 edits of full-bore MIDI wonderfulnessįantastic.This 1969 edit of the band playing cartoon music.If you enjoy the Dead making soundtrack music, you might like: I found that several of them contain the exact same, main passage (w/some different treatments), so my edit comprises the non-repeating passages. The session/demo edit comes from this set of fragments. My assumption is that the 17 minutes from the official soundtrack included on this mix are made up of a slew of these tiny pieces of mood music, edited together. Then it’s the music editor who actually fits them into the show.” (Golden Road #6) Are you sure you’ll be OK home alone?’ They go all the way from a sort of noncommittal to a real ominous ‘Braaaaaagh!” They gave us a huge menu of those – 40 that are like 5 seconds, 20 that are 6.5 seconds, a bunch that they can fade in and out. One might be a mood like, ‘Don’t open the door,’ or ‘Don’t go up into the attic.’ Or, ‘I’m going to work work, honey. “… but what we got was a collection of little musical inserts called stings and bumpers – you know, little hunks of non-specific music of various lengths that have different moods. We’d been in the studio working things about a week, and then all of a sudden I was just up there onstage!’” (Golden Road #6)Īccording to Garcia, the band recorded enough bits to construct a much larger Twilight Zone space. “Merl says that the night he sat in during the ‘space’ jam at one of the recent Berkeley shows, ‘we did a bit of the Zone without the theme. This mp3 mix includes all the “space” passages, plus an edit of studio outtakes, plus three live passages. With the help of middle-man Merl Saunders, the Dead were hired to create theme and incidental music for the 1985 reboot of “The Twilight Zone.” A soundtrack album was released containing a combination of ominous Dead “space” and cheesier, ‘80s pop moves. Imagine if you will, 30 minutes of 1985 Grateful Dead music related to “The Twilight Zone” theme and mood. This is the dimension we call the Grateful Dead. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.
