The Ventures - TV Themes

Review by Travis Tubbs

The Ventures, the legendary instrumental rock band, released their album "TV Themes" in 1990. The album features 12 tracks, all of which are classic television theme songs. The album is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for anyone who grew up watching TV in the 60s and 70s.

The Ventures have always been known for their signature surf rock sound, and this album is no different. They have added their own unique touch to each of the theme songs, making them sound fresh and exciting. The album kicks off with the theme from "Hawaii Five-O," which is arguably one of the most recognizable TV themes of all time. The Ventures' version of the theme is fast-paced and energetic, with the guitar riffs perfectly capturing the excitement of the show.

Other standout tracks on the album include the themes from "The Twilight Zone," "Batman," and "The Munsters." The Ventures' version of the "Batman" theme is particularly impressive, with the guitar solos perfectly capturing the dark and brooding nature of the character.

nelsonturner30

this isn't the original theme. this was used for season 2, duh. season 1 is different (a dark and omnious sound similar to cop shows of the 60's written by Lalo Schifrin ). cos this was more funky, this is the one most people remember. (i presonally liked season 1 theme)
