What no Tubular Bells for the intro sequence? I am dissapoint!

I agree. The theme song is dull and doesn't really work with the tone of the show. I think it would have been cool if they had maybe created a new version of "Tubular Bells"; a slowed-down interpretation hummed by a choir would have worked very nicely, I think.

The original movie's music - the tubular bells - is very expensive to use, and you have to pay for each use. Given that they could spend that money on making the CGI or scenes better, the chose the latter.

Try tapping your foot to it... The time signature is all over the place... Some overlapping instruments are even in a different meter than underlying instruments... It's technically kind of music geek cool... I was one back when it came out in the early 70s...

Yeah.it costs a lot is why you won't hear it often. If ever again...

Grand Piano.

It's too bad it's not used more. When it played during the last sequence of episode 1, it really gave the show an extra kick! I don't know if it's been remastered, but it sounded terrific, especially when that bass kicks in. I went on Spotify to see if I could find it and there it was, by Mike Oldfield.

i very much like this show thus far but i hate the intro song/sequence from episode 2. i loved how in ep.1 "THE EXORCIST" abruptly is shown on the screen with the awesome and creepy violins(?) music accompanying it. i wish they just kept the title intro that ep.1 way.

As much as I love "Tubular Bells" and the original movie, I think this series would be wise to steer clear of both because it needs to stand on its own. Constant use of the movie's music is not needed here because this show needs to establish its own identity, and so far it's succeeding.
