BERRY
LIPMAN & ORCHESTRA:
Star Maidens Die Maedchen aus dem Weltraum
More than 10 years after the first publication
of the Star Maidens soundtrack it's been released digitally in May
2010:
Here's the original press report from 1999:
For the first time available: sexy and funky
seventies score (26 tracks) for British-German Sci-Fi Series featuring
Pierre Brice, Judy Geeson, Lisa Harrow, Gareth Thomas, Derek Farr,
Dawn Adams a.o. by German bandleader Berry Lipman, spiced by (German...)
dialogue highlights, original sound effects and a bonustrack including
several outtakes.
The TV series gets off to a start
with two men escaping from planet Medusa in a ship they
have stolen. After narrowly avoiding being killed when
they crash-land on Earth, they appeal to the authorities
to allow them asylum from the pursuing women. Adam, the
force behind the escape, is a leading light in the Mens
Liberation Movement, for on Medusa everything is turned
around as woman is the dominant sex, forcing all men on
the planet to be servants. This situation could well be
one of mans worst innermost fears : a society ruled
by women.
Quite a few questions arise from
the series relating to aspects of everyday life here at
this very moment in time. Namely, could a woman ever manage
to make a better job of running this world than men?
Pretty much as the actresses' costumes in the TVseries
Lipman's compositions are a fancy caleidoscope of 70s
music: From disco-related titles to "Shaft"-a-like
groovy tracks you can find everything; and not each title
of this space opera is as "offensive" as "Sex
World" (track 4, sung by Toni McVey). It's not always
just trashy as you could expect!
The 13 episodes of this low budget series could be watched
(in colour) on TV in 1976 in many countries, eg. Germany,
Great Britain, the USA, Canada, Australia, NZ, France,
a.o.
Follow us to Planet Medusa, hearing
is believing !
Press
R. D. Larson's Soundtrax [06/2010]:
"...70s music, from disco-related titles to SHAFT-like R&B
grooves, with an occasional side trip into the trash galaxy with
songs like “Sex World,” enthusiastically belted out by singer Toni
McVey."
Film Score Monthly [09/99]:
"Berry Lipman's music is part Bacharach, part Deodato, part
Geoff Love, part Barry Gray and all lounge, baby!"
Score, Baby! [02/01]: "…kitsch
fun that also delivers memorably funky grooves ... essential source
for DJs looking for breaks. Great Disc!"
Mike Rogers, Cool & Strange Music
[vol.2, no.10]: "…for enthusiasts, the curious and of course the just plain pervy this is Star Maidens. Try out this soundtrack for something that is just so different and wonderful and you’ll be outta this world"
