  • Following my recent post regarding older music and videos, I'm going to start uploading my updated stuff from Soundcloud to here also. Here is James' slower variants of his theme from the first two seasons, I personally prefer these versions over the classic Jazz theme. It's the instruments in this what I prefer, which inspires me a lot with my original pieces.

    Hey everyone.
    Just a quick message. While I know a lot of you enjoy the recreations of O'Donnell and Campbell's legendary work for TTTE. I'd also really appreciate if you'd take a look at music I've written too. I'm looking to experiment and expand as a composer to test my range and ideas, the Thomas stuff is nostalgic and everything but the original works is what I really enjoy to work with. Still on the 80s wave at the moment as there are some sounds I still want to tackle. Here’s a playlist of all the 80s and 90s stuff. I’ve arranged them similar to how they are on SoundCloud. Enjoy!

    Just 1 of many reasons James is my favorite character. It's not just how I relate to him, it's not just the bright red livery, but it's also the fact his themes are absolutely awesome. Well done on the recreations! I also prefer these over the Jazzy version too but the Jazz version still rocks

      I like James because he's Red, which is my favorite color. In one episode of my short series, James would be gold and a certain red liquid would splash all over him. It's not exactly James In A Mess 2, But he would be back to his normal self again at the end. When he hits the tanker, the theme that plays is from the end of "The Final Friday" (1993) when a certain glove pops up from under the ground.

    Music like this reminds me of how Thomas doesn't always need to be an intense, action-packed, cinematic show all the time. Now, mind you, I like those faster moments as much as anyone else would, but I also like when it can also just be nice, relaxing, and slow like the music here.

    "James is cross!" snickered the Spiteful Brakevan. "We'll try to make him crosser still!"

    James did his best, but he was exhausted when they reached Edward's station. Luckily Douglas was there.

      That is all right. Thomas was Here. He was not dead, According to Wiki fandom: In 2020, Mattel Television announced a new co-production partnership with Corus Entertainment’s Nelvana Studio. 104 11-minute episodes and two 60-minute specials were greenlit for the “Thomas & Friends” television series over two seasons. The new format will feature "a new look and story structure", original songs and Thomas as the lead character of every episode.

    I say this without a hint of irony, these compositions from the first few seasons were synthesizer propaganda for me as a young child. I didn't know what made these sounds, but I knew I wanted to have one so I could do it myself. 15ish years later and I'm keyboardist in a new wave band. Very thankful that O'Donnell and Campbell understood the importance of putting original, and complex music in this show. Kids are much smarter than many give them credit for, and I think it shows in the amount of people here who grew up with these songs returning to your fantastic recompositions!
