As much as I loved that era of David Lowe’s BBC News music, I’m not instantly sold on picking it back up in isolation twenty years later. It seems a bit jarring at the moment but maybe that’s the nostalgia.
What it does show though is that short titles work if the music doesn’t feel so painfully slow! The tempo of the old music versus the current main theme is probably the same/not that different, but the current theme feels so lethargic in comparison, even when they keep cutting and cutting the theme down to make the title sequence shorter.
