Music graduate here, currently scouring the internet for a copy of Lord David Dundas' excellent Fourscore jingle that was the first piece of music heard on Channel 4 back on 1982, and subsequently released commercially as a nice little 7-inch single...
This got me thinking - what other pieces of TV pres music got released commercially? Could be ident jingles fleshed out to four minutes, could be the music you hear during breakdowns or schools interludes. Or if just you just have a favourite bit of TV music, then there's no harm in popping it here. Let's build a TV anorak's record collection together.
Another example: The Channel 4 ident music from 1999, linked below in its album form and full of lovely squelchy synthesizers and rich strings. (The full album's worth checking out if you like your house and electronica.)
This was also released on vinyl back in the day - shame it's not yet available to stream in official high quality.
