PEARL & DEAN PRESENTS THE NATION'S FAVOURITE MOVIE THEMES

Pearl and Dean survey reveals Top 100 favourite film tunes as voted by
the British public

CD: SILCD1344

REL. DATE: 22nd November 2010

Reflecting a broad taste in film music, The Pearl & Dean survey of the
nation's top 100 movie theme tunes has resulted in the top spot being
secured by Ravel's Bolero as featured in the movie 10. The survey took
place from July to 12th September, 2010 and music was made available for
selection and voting from over 1,000 films from the 1930s to the present
day.

The survey covered a wide age group with the younger generation
influencing John Murphy's 28 Days Later at No.5 and Tyler Bates' 300 at
No. 11 spot, and the older generation insuring that classic themes, Max
Steiner's Gone With The Wind (#83), A Summer Place (#40) and Kenneth
Alford's The Bridge On The River Kwai, (#85), appear in the top 100.

Some unusual choices involved John Addison's A Bridge Too Far at No. 6
and Dimitri Tiomkin's 55 Days at Peking at No.27.

Also featured are the expected "pick of the nation" themes such as 633
Squadron by Ron Goodwin in second position, the Richard Strauss's Also
Sprach Zaratustra from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in third
position, John Williams' Star Wars: A New Hope at number 8 and Vangelis'
Chariots of Fire in 10th place. Surprisingly, The James Bond Theme came
in at No. 39.

The result of the Pearl & Dean survey will appear on a 6 CD set released
by Silva Screen Records and will be available exclusively through Amazon
from November the 22nd. The collection opens with Asteroid, Pearl &
Dean's legendary 20" signature tune. This distinctive staccato theme was
written by Pete Moore and was originally produced as a mono track.
Following developments in audio technology, Asteroid was given a full
stereo treatment in the early 1990's with two out of three original male
singers appearing on the new recording.
