===Music=== Without the lavish budgets of his earlier television series, it was apparent to Gerry Anderson from a very early stage of production that it would not be possible to record full orchestral scores for ''Terrahawks''. However, the development of synthesised music had advanced considerably since the early days of the experimental 'electromusic' composed and recorded by [[Barry Gray]] for ''[[Supercar (TV series)|Supercar]]'' and ''[[Fireball XL5]]'', and by 1983 it was possible to create electronic music that could at least approach the scale and majesty of a full orchestra, but at a fraction of the cost. Richard Harvey was introduced to Anderson by a mutual friend, music producer Tony Prior, who has previously suggested [[Derek Wadsworth]] as composer of the music for ''[[Space: 1999]]'' Year Two. A graduate of the Royal College of Music with a background in ancient and classical music, Harvey had worked extensively with film composer [[Maurice Jarre]] in the late 1970s. This experience made him the ideal choice to compose the music for ''Terrahawks'', combining his knowledge of the structure of classical orchestral music with the latest synthesised music reproduction techniques. Anderson and his business partner Christoper Burr had regular meetings with Harvey to discuss the style of music that they wanted for ''Terrahawks'', particularly the main theme which was envisaged as a combination of the 'best bits' of the themes to ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[E.T.]]'' and ''[[Dallas (TV series)|Dallas]]''. In 2002, Fanderson records released a soundtrack compiling 75 minutes worth of music, the album included 3 of Harvey's Demo Themes for the show, 6 full episode scores and 3 surviving Kate Kestrel songs, "S.O.S", "It's So Easy" and the latter half of "Living in the 21st Century" which was used as the End Titles music in the U.S. syndication run. The remaining songs and first half of "Living in the 21st Century" are currently missing, presumed destroyed.<ref>Terrahawks (Original Television Soundtrack)</ref> {{Infobox album | italic_title = no | name = ''Terrahawks'' | type = Soundtrack | artist = Richard Harvey | cover = | alt = | released = 2002 | recorded = | venue = | studio = | genre = Television soundtrack | length = | label = [[Fanderson]] | producer = Andrew Frampton | prev_title = | prev_year = | next_title = | next_year = }} {{Track listing | all_writing = [[Richard Harvey (composer)|Richard Harvey]] | extra_column = Notes | headline = Track list | title1 = Terrahawks Main Theme | length1 = 1:09 | title2 = Invaders from Mars | extra2 = From "Expect The Unexpected Part 1" | length2 = 5:59 | title3 = First Encounter | extra3 = From "Expect The Unexpected Part 1" | length3 = 5:39 | title4 = Terrahawks Demo Theme 1 | length4 = 1:29 | title5 = War and Peace | extra5 = From "Expect The Unexpected Part 2" | length5 = 6:27 | title6 = Guks Bearing Gifts | length6 = 7:10 | extra6 = From "Expect The Unexpected Part 2" | title7 = S.O.S. | extra7 = Performed by Kate Kestrel | length7 = 3:12 | title8 = Star Roars | extra8 = From "Thunder-Roar" | length8 = 4:36 | title9 = Thunder and Frightening | extra9 = From "Thunder-Roar" | length9 = 4:13 | title10 = Terrahawks Demo Theme 2 | length10 = 1:01 | title11 = Special Delivery | extra11 = From "Close Call" | length11 = 4:07 | title12 = Cuckoo in the Nest | extra12 = From "Close Call" | length12 = 6:04 | title13 = It's So Easy | extra13 = Performed by Kate Kestrel | length13 = 4:09 | title14 = Tethered Goats | extra14 = From "To Catch A Tiger" | length14 = 2:53 | title15 = The Chamber of Death | extra15 = From "To Catch A Tiger" | length15 = 5:01 | title16 = Terrahawks Demo Theme 3 | length16 = 1:36 | title17 = Attack of the Space Bear! | extra17 = From "Operation S.A.S." | length17 = 3:45 | title18 = Roll of Honour | extra18 = From "Operation S.A.S." | length18 = 5:14 | title19 = Living in the 21st Century (US End Titles) | extra19 = Performed by Kate Kestrel | length19 = 1:05 | title20 = Terrahawks End Titles | length20 = 1:07 }}
