Original score by Dominic Frontiere
Original Broadcast 11/11/1963
"A weapon? No, only an instrument: neither good nor evil, until men put it to use. And then, like so many of Man's inventions, it can be used either to save lives or destroy them, to make men sane or to drive them mad, to increase human understanding or to betray it. But, it will be men who make the choice. By itself, the instrument is nothing, until you add the human factor."

SYNOPSIS
At an isolated military installation in Greenland, Major Brothers (Harry Guardino) has allowed one of his men to die after falling in a crevasse. Suffering from hallucinations, he goes to Dr. Hamilton (Gary Merrill). Hamilton has invented a device that allows him to read the thoughts of another person. Hamilton and Brothers connect via the device, but then a power surge causes the unthinkable: the minds of the two men switch bodies.
The deranged Maj. Brothers is bent on destroying the whole base.
Unfortunately, his mind is now in the psychiatrist's body, and the other base workers know nothing of the mind switch; until his secretary (Sally Kellerman) gets wind of it.

THE SOUNDTRACK
For all of you Outer Limits fans, this is another of my re-created soundtracks.
Source material is again from a CDs, a DVDrip and a number of re-mixes to recreate the exact sound of the TV soundtrack, bar by bar.
“The Human Factor” features another lush orchestral soundtrack by Dominic Frontiere.
Just like "Architects Of Fear" and "The Man Who Was Never Born", Frontiere has a knack for producing beautiful, romantic tracks such as "Love Revealed", "You Don't Need Me", "Look Into My Eyes" and "Love Theme (Reprise)"
Some of its cues however, like “It’s Here” and “Monster Appears” were used very regularly throughout the show’s first season.
The title theme makes a couple of returns throughout this score, albeit slightly remoulded but still full of its initial stabbing vibrancy. Frontiere also crafts a romantic theme that drives rather than whispers through the rising tension and becomes quite forcefully lush, but it is probably his lilting and tinkling cue for the mental exchange that makes the most impressive mark here.
Somewhat reminiscent of Herrmann's genie-inspired cues for The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad, the piece floats and flutters with harp and violin. Little squirrelly fluctuations for woodwind spiral about, lacing the score with a texture that keeps you on your toes.
Threat comes in the form of deep, resonant chords that try to keep such lighter distractions dragged down, and the whole thing winds down with a passionate variation of the love theme that, very nicely, registers with a sweet poignancy that helps keep the score safely on the Outer Limits.

*UPDATE: track #02 "The Control Voice (ver #4A short version)" I was finally able to synthesize the two harp sounds to complete the track without talking.
On a whole though, I think you'll really enjoy this soundtrack.
