It's "approved" rather than "official", but yeah, that had crossed my mind.

 

[aramis]

"Striker" looks a lot more like Mayday than Striker....

 

[Andrew Boulton]

The dirtside fighting was the bit that got dropped!

"Mars, the Bringer of War" from Holst's The Planets comes to mind, or is that too cliche? </font>[/QUOTE]Not at all. I second that nomination.

Several of Wagner's pieces would fit, too. Or "Stars and Stripes Forever." Ot the theme from the movie "Patton."

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Mars has always been on my list of Music To Use One Day. Wagner's a maybe, also Carmina Burana.

The Zulu theme is tempting. So's the theme to The Battle Of Britain, and I quite like the version of When Johnny Comes Marching Home from Dr Strangelove...

 

[marvo]

I dug out an old album of War Movie themes and found there are quite a few good ones from older movies.
Battle of Britain has already been mentioned, but the following are all suitable.

633 Squadron
Where Eagles Dare
The Dambusters march.
Guns of Navarone

Okay, I guess the word 'album' gives away my age

Even worse, this is a Woolworths, John Barry album priced at 99p

 

[LordVince]

Although I suggest this with tongue placed firmly in cheek, I'm still making a "serious" suggestion (and, like Marvo, showing my age)

How about the theme from the old Gerry Anderson TV show "UFO"?

^_^

 

[Andrew Boulton]

I've got that album on cassette somewhere...

 

[Valarian]

Mars sounds like a good choice, and out of copyright too

 

[marvo]

Even older that UFO, how about the theme from Thunderbirds. Or the music from the same TV show that plays every time they launch.

I was watching this last night on DVD. Amazing how the special effects have stood the test of time. Some of them could be taken direct out of a modern day show such as 'Power Rangers'.

Andrew - on cassette? Don't you mean 8 Track?

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Or wax cylinder...

 

[Redcap]

whoops - sorry, two windows up, and posted to the wrong thread!

 

[LordVince]

Oooo...Thunderbirds. Or maybe the theme from Captain Scarlet, yeah?

That would be good if you could find an instrumental version without the "Captain Scarlet" singing. Same goes for Fireball XL5. I have often toyed with the idea of how Captain Scarlet would make a pretty good role playing game.

Incidentally, my current Star Wars character is called Steve Zodiac, but nobody in my group gets the reference.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

The Gerry Anderson themes might be a bit too identified with the shows.

 

[Pickles]

Vangelis Mythodea. The only people who've heard it are the martians. And me.

No, that's not the same thing.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Vangelis & Jarre are maybes.

 

[Pickles]

Iwas thinking martial. Mythodea is very martial, especially for Vangelis. Probably scare the crap out of the Martians.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Ooh...the Pirates of the Caribbean theme is tempting...

 

[Mickazoid]

How about an original score?

I'd be happy to work on original music (along with anyone else interested)... Here's some of my more recent stuff that I just posted to my college web space:
