Does anyone know where I can get the following cover versions of Oxygene 4:

Project D cover version (preferably for download rather than bidding on eBay), which is probably one of the most interesting commercial cover versions as it is loosely based on the other one I'm trying to find...

The cover version used for the 1989 series of the ITV (UK) series "Where There's Life", which has a more edgier feel than JMJ's original - the best description I can offer is it's a bit la Defense-like but with rock drums, synth electric guitar wails and a bell-like backing sequence.

Cheers and Merry Christmas to you all

Sorry I can't answer your question but was it also used for 'Tommorrow's World' ?

I don't think Oxygene 4 was used for Tomorrows World on BBC, especially as it used to be a direct rival science programme to ITV's Where There's Life (which was more medical based). Admittedly Judith Hann of Tomorrows World did look a bit like Dr Miriam Stoppard of WTL! lol

As far as I'm aware, the original O4 was used for most of the series of WTL, but I know (as I have a Betamax recording but alas no VCR for i) of the titles and credits to the 1989 WTL with the cool new cover version of O4. Rather sadly, I did have some old cassettes of BBC TV themes, including the various themes for Tomorrows World used over the years. Cool Jarre-esque synth tunes admittedly, but not JMJ himself I'm afraid.

I will have to try and get an old Betamax VCR so I can make an MP3 of the cover and also upload the video file.

Sounds interesting! Keep us posted!
