<![CDATA[The Knightmare main theme - what a rush...^^]]>I just wanna start a thread stating that, in my personal opinion, a full Knightmare experience starts RIGHT from the beginning credits right up to the broadsword logo at the end.

I LOVE the Knightmare main music, it even brang a tear to my eye the first time I heard it after seeing my first FULL repeat all those months ago. It brought back memories of the series, and indeed moments in my life at that age.

I just HAD to get out a Knightmare-music appreciation thread, as it simply conveys EVERYTHING the series had within.

Bravery, epicness, will to succeed...emotion.  ;D

God DAMN if I'm just bein' a sentimental old skull, but sometimes I just think it's good to take a step back and say...'DAMN, that is the best.'

Anybody wanna share thoughts on this musical nostalgia trip of the dungeons?

**

To make even more point to the thread, which version of the theme did you prefer?

Series 1-3, 4-6, 7-8...or one of those odd unknown Knightmare theme compositions? **

I loved 'em all...^^

If you put a gun to my head, perhaps the closing credits music of 6-8.

I myself am sort of torn between two.

I love the original theme because it brings back the most memories, it's the one I first think of when I think of Knightmare, so as a nostalgist it wins hands down.

HOWEVER, as a musician, I love the series 4-5 version best, because it has the most "epic" feel to it - the big orchestral arrangement, although no less anachronistic than the 80s synths when compared to the period the books are set in really conjures up images of noble knights going on great adventures.

As for the series 6-8 version - that should never have been allowed to happen. It was symptomatic of the dumbing down of the series.

Better theme music, generally good all round

Just ashame its over within 30 seconds

By the way, the ringtones are still available on knightmare.com and on www.thegreatestquest.co.uk

For those of you with phones with polyphonic ringtones....the best thing to do is get hold of a Knightmare midi file and use ifnrared or a data cable to get it on your phone.

But yeh I prefer 7-8 - sounded more dramatic somehow.
