Billy Thorpe- music

One of the guys who did the music for season one (Billy Thorpe) died recently in Australia. He was also in one of the episodes playing his guitar (CHOIR OF ANGELS) I have a CD of the themes and several of his and Larry Brown's scores (plus season 2 theme)

Really? I bought something on eBay way back that was a CD copy of the soundtrack. Although it was not a commerical item, as could be told by the liner notes and the lack of any distributor provided anywhere (not to mention the clearly cocked up tracklisting). But mine only has the Brown's Season 2 opening and closing themes. Do you have something different? I don't really care about Season 2 music - just Thorpe's first season score. Can you give a tracklisting? I'd love to hear more than what my CD gives me, like anything from "The Resurrection", "Goliath Is My Name" or even the season's closing theme.

I'm currently watching 'Choir of Angels'...and noticed Billy playing before the aliens {with hottie Heidi von Palleske} walking in on him.

Billy Thorpe's character is 'Billy Carlos'...
