Harry Lubin is nobody's idea of a musical household name, but in 1958 he became the musical director and composer of Alcoa Presents and composed and conducted all the music for their science fiction TV show, One Step Beyond. While the show is not generally remembered for having a strong theme or background music, this 11-track reissue shows otherwise, as Lubin puts a full symphony orchestra through their paces on pieces like "Island Off Spain," "Bullfight," "Weird," "Trip to the Far East" and the show's theme song, "Fear. " File under "incredibly strange music" because that was the whole point of its existence in the first place. ~ Cub Koda

Music from "One Step Beyond" Soundtrack songs Product Details
Music from "One Step Beyond" Soundtrack songs. As soundtracks go, this is a great one for R & B fans. H-Town are here, as is Tevin Campbell and Luniz, and all are in fine form. R. Kelly shows up big with "Freak Tonight," a definitive piece of Kelly-style soul, with a refreshingly minimalist approach--just the groove (a reggae-tinged, mechanical pulse) and Kelly, going through his usual vocal gyrations. The result is a slow number, tailor-made for a slow grind. Other highlights include Ganjah K playing around with Al Green's masterpiece "Love And Happiness," in the course of "Love Got My Mind Trippin." They cop the chorus from Rev. Al, then loop it around a spoken morsel of hip-hop flavor. The result is suprisingly haunting, indeed a compelling piece of music. Drawz' "Thin Line" is pure, hypnotic, and straight outta the hip-hop slow jam recipe book. Grouped together, the songs form a good collection, with a few real gems.
Producers include: Snoop Doggy Dogg, LT Hutton, Roger Troutman, Somethin' For The People, R. Kelly.

stepping beyond Unlike many so called soundtracks that I have bought in the past this is the actual music that was used on the original tv program; the sound is quite good overall and it instantly brings you back to the halcyon days of the 60's in a Proustian way.Is it worth buying?If you like dreamy music as I do it's a good CD to have By r_kazz
