Memories

Does this (mp3, 1MB) make anyone else all nostalgic? Bonus points if you can name the source...

It sound's familiar. Is it a mid 1980's TV theme tune? Possibly English? It has a BBC "Radiophonic workshop" sound to it; am I close?

It's definitely a TV theme, but more likely to be early 1990s if I recognise it.

Is it that SF kids show about a girl who came back from the future/went into the future? The Tomorrow Girl, or Tomorrow's World, something like that (can't remember the title)?

Definitely getting nostalgic whiffs though.

I have no idea what it is although given the cheesy Casio-type sound I'd hazard it's from maybe 1984/85 sometime. Mr Itchy knows he knows it but beyond saying "it's a TV theme" isn't being much help!

My first thought was Benji, Zax And The Alien Prince. But now I seem to think it's the theme tune for a children's series about some girl from outer space. I certainly remember it from a TV programme I was well into...

Hee! I know what it is, but I gained the knowledge from detective work (Niall called it "cheating") not memory.

Is it from "The Tomorrow People"?

Ah. No. My next guess is the girl who came back from the future, as greengolux said. Something Australian. She had to fix some stuff and then go back to her own time, IIRC.

We have a winner!

She was kidnapped, and had to escape. Her time-travel pod was a rotating dodecahedron. And in the second series, on the way back from our time she crashlanded half-way, in the pre-utopia dystopia. And she had this headband that could harness the POWER OF HER MIND to levitate things. Ah, they don't make 'em like that anymore. :)

Ahh, was thinking that just as I came to the page to suggest it

Brings back memories. Was quite a good show, wasn't it? Yet another example of how the Australians and New Zealanders can produce good children's SciFi, and we can't....

It was a hair-band with a cheesy crystal in it, which was placed on the forehead, wasn't it?

I have a feeling it glowed purple, gave out a purple beam, and magic things happened. Well, except for the third series (or was it the end of the second, the one in the far off future?), where I seem to remember someone trying to learn to use it, and bad things happened...

The title, given the conclusion of the plot, can be inferred from the name of the file. I don't remember it personally.

[greengolux.livejournal.com]

Yes, I remember the dodecahedron. And, now you mention it, the head band thing sounds familiar too.

I think this was the first TV show I ever watched properly. Our family didn't have a TV until the early nineties, and it took me a while to get the hang of it (I watched nothing but wildlife documentaries for the first year we had it). I think The Girl From Tomorrow was one of the first drama series I watched, and it made me begin to think that maybe this TV thing wasn't such an odd idea after all.

Time travel. It always wins me over. ;)

No bells rung, but ...

I'm surprised they employed MP3 for the sample, when it is blatantly a MIDI...ah, what a waste of space. :-)
