The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Can anyone give me a dowload link for the soundtrack of Tthe he Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie (2005)? Thanks.

Or, for a REAL challenge, how about the score for the 1980’s BBC TV series?

Oops, forgot to post the 2005 film music link:

Seems live and legit, didn’t upload or download it myself though, so i can’t vouch for quality.

Quality is great. Thanks a lot. ^^

Off topic: Have you seen the TV series? If so, I suppose it’s better that the movie, right?

YES

Or, for a REAL challenge, how about the score for the 1980’s BBC TV series?

HAHA!

I’ll eat my underpants (because I don’t have a hat) if that exists! It was never released in any form whatsoever… likely the tapes are still floating around in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s archive though. (They closed down the workshop some years ago but their work was retained, in a staggering display of respect and forward thinking… perhaps they learned something from the lunatic "tape recycling" programme that saw dozens of episodes of Doctor Who (and countless other shows) literally wiped off the face of the earth… so they could re-use the video tape!

As for the series itself… It’s early 80s and made on a shoestring budget. The visual effects are absolutely HORRID but the series is absolutely superb. It’s very straightforward – it’s the radio show, on TV. There really is no better, purer edition of Hitchhikers, short of the radio show itself.

(To the people who think the radio show was an adaptation of the book – WRONG! It was actually the other way around. HHGTTG was originally written as a radio drama – Adams re-purposed the story as a novel a year later in 1979.)

The 2005 movie wasn’t absolutely terrible. It wasn’t perfect, but it could’ve been so much worse. It started off well enough, but I think it really started limping when it deviated from the book / radio show plot and instead started to pursue Humma Kavula, which has nothing to do with anything – and only served to cause a gigantic pause in the actual plot during which all the audience fall asleep. That said, it had some greatness… Martin Freeman was a fine 21st Century Arthur, and Alan Rickman as Marvin… need I say more? (Though Marvin himself – physically – was dreadful…)

^ what tangotreats said, pretty much word for word.

The TV series has a quirky charm that was lost in the movie.
The Sections read from the book are hand animated in a glorious retro computer/vectorline style that is a joy to behold, add to this the ambient Radiophonic Workshop’s BGM and it makes for great entertainment.

Oh, and 80’s Trillion is extremely hot in Barbiedoll kind of way.

Ok, I’m dowloading the tv series to give it a try. Fortunately, it’s only 6 half-houred episodes.

The TV series was brilliant! Between the computer animation, live action and the music, masterful!

where might one get this said television series. Is it on DVD?? Id like to purchase it…also where might on find a download link…..so that I may download it after making a legal purchase………..legal……….

Thread unearthing…

The tv series music was created by Paddy Kingsland.
