This new Peter Thomas CD has far more to offer than just a rediscovery of his best soundtrack works for international movie productions.The music assembled here truly enchants the listener. With an unbelievable sense of harmony, sensitivity and wealth of ideas Thomas leads uns into a jazzy, melodically swinging world of music. In an exceptionally gentle and loving way the artist here unveils his inner self. Peter Thomas never presented himself with more superior ease and more intimate - on this cd Peter Thomas' grand artistry impressively displays itself.

The first impetus to this production had come from no less a person than George Clooney. His close friend Quentin Tarantino had recommended Peter Thomas album "Kriminalfilm Musik (Crime Movie Music") to the moviestar. Those soundtracks to old German Edgar Wallace-movies excited Clooney so much that he decided to use five of those tracks in the soundtrack to his first self-directed movie "Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind" (starring a.o. Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore). The tracks which Clooney used, originally stem from the movies "Die seltsame Gräfin", "Der Zinker" und "Das Verrätertor" and are fine examples of the timeless quality of Peter Thomas' compositions.

But not only the American market discovered Peter Thomas in 2003: In German cinemas the updated and compiled version of "Raumpatrouille Orion" was a surprise success. A rare feat for a 36 years old tv-series - and one more proof of the ideal combination of sight and sound in this early German sci-fi production. So this new cd features two rare tracks from the Orion series and other works for sci-fi movies (such as "Perry Rhodan").

...and just like the good old spaceship Orion will forever travel on the wings of Peter Thomas' sounds through the depths of the galaxy, the extraordinary tracks of this new album will take us on a journey through time and space.
