Famously used as the theme tune to the brilliant BBC television adaption of Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Journey of the Sorcerer was in fact a song originally written and performed by the American rock band "Eagles" (yes, Hotel California) from their 1975 album entitled "One of These Night", and it was that version which was used as the theme to the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series in 1978
Of course, for me the best version was this one, arranged and recorded by Tim Souster for the 1981 television series. It actually takes me back to the mid-80s when my Dad introduced me to the series.
Composer Joby Talbot did a marvellous version for the Hitchikers movie in 2005, but I must admit to preferring the early 80s synth/electronic sounds of Tims version.
