-
First
appearing
on
TV
screens
in
September
1968,
Joe
90
was
a
unique
nine
year
old
boy
with
the
ability
to
absorb
the
brain
patterns
of
top
experts
enabling
him
to
become
the
most
special
agent
of
W.I.N.
(World
Intelligence
Network).
Whilst
there
are
arguably
better-known
scores
amongst
Barry
Gray's
sublime
catalogue
of
work
with
the
Andersons,
the
composer's
work
for
Joe
90
is
in
many
ways
the
most
consistent
and
inventive
selection
he
ever
wrote.
Developing
a
theme
for
the
new
series
was
always
the
musician's
starting
point,
and
for
Joe
90,
the
pop
charts
breezed
into
Gray's
studio,
with
an
opening
tune
featuring
a
genuine
groove.
Mixing
Gray's
inventive
electronics
with
60s
"surf
rock"
guitars
was
an
inspired
decision.
It
is
no
wonder
that
this
piece
has
gone
on
to
enjoy
a
second
life
as
a
Northern
Soul
disco
floor-filler.
For
episodic
incidentals,
Gray
was
freed
from
the
detached
unearthly
premise
of
Captain
Scarlet
and
able
to
bring
back
a
playful
sensibility
and
a
more
mature
musical
palette
which
are
amply
illustrated
in
this
24
track
collection.
