SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 1:10 MIN.
Considering an official Remington Steele soundtrack doesn’t exist for NBC’s 1982-1987 TV series, musician Dominik Hauser recorded Henry Mancini’s upbeat Season 2 opening credits theme as a 2011 single.
REVIEW:
Few can replicate Henry Mancini’s jazzy instrumental magic so easily, but TV theme cover specialist Dominik Hauser is one of them. While there are subtle hints that it’s still a cover, Hauser’s rendition is likely one of the best-ever renditions of this particular theme. Considering the improbability of a Remington Steele soundtrack ever being released, Hauser’s first-class effort is likely the next best thing.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8½ Stars
Note: Hauser also has available Mancini’s Remington Steele (Laura’s Theme) as a single. It’s more than just an excellent facsimile — it’s virtually identical to Mancini’s original work.
