About Spaced: The Music: Promo Music
20th May 2000
The Music

There were 13 different promos for Series One - including 5 teaser trailers. Here is a comprehensive list of the music.

SPACED TEASERS
CORNELIUS ‘COUNT 5/6’
from the album ‘FANTASMA’
1998 Matador Records

This was the music for the very first ‘SPACED: A SITCOM’ teaser. If you saw it, it’s the one with the ‘1-2-3-4-5-6’ vocal. A fucking great track from a fantastic album.
Have I sold this one enough?

THE PROPELLERHEADS ‘BANG ON!’
from the album ‘DECKSANDRUMSANDROCKANDROLL’
1998 Dreamworks

This great album track from the Propellerheads was used on two SPACED teasers.

FUZZ TOWNSEND ‘TASTY BIG ED’
from the album ‘FAR IN’
1999 Fruition Records

This is a techno track with was used for some of shorter SPACED promos.

SPACED EPISODE 2 - PROMO MUSIC
BARRY GRAY ‘THEME FROM SPACE 1999’
from the album ‘THIS IS SCIENCE FICTION’
1999 Virgin

The trailers for Episode 2 used this classic theme tune. And what could be more appropriate?

SPACED EPISODE 3 - PROMO MUSIC
FUZZ TOWNSEND ‘SMASH IT’ (Cut La Roc Remix)
from the album ‘FAR IN’
1999 Fruition Records

Another Fuzz Townsend track - this comes from the bonus remix disc of ‘FAR IN’, which is actually superior to the original album.

SPACED EPISODE 5 - PROMO MUSIC
ENIGMA - ‘THE EYES OF TRUTH’
from the album ‘CROSS OF CHANGES’
1993 Virgin Records

The promo for Episode 5 was a spoof of the Matrix trailer - complete with the tagline ‘No one can be told what Spaced is, you have to see it for yourself’. Hence the inclusion of this ENIGMA track, which was used in the Matrix trailer also.
I only say that because I would not necessarily recommend an ENIGMA album to anyone.

SPACED EPISODE 6 - PROMO MUSIC
YOMANDA - ‘SYNTH & STRINGS’
1999 Mercury Records

This Ibiza favourite was the music to my favourite promo - the ‘SPACED: Uncovered’ spoof.

SPACED EPISODE 7 - PROMO MUSIC
CHRIS ISAAK - ‘Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing’
from the ‘EYES WIDE SHUT’ soundtrack
1999 Warner Bros

And finally, for the last SPACED promo, we did a little Kubrick pastiche with a spoof of the ‘EYES WIDE SHUT’ trailer.
