Fair enough. I haven't watched that show in many years so I barely recall its music beyond (no pun intended) its theme.Kristopher Carter's work on Batman Beyond is frickin awesome, so I can't wait to hear what's in B5
Also...is that a diagram of a Gaim behind Dr. Franklin?
Oh, you know what, you're probably right. Stupid brain.95% sure it’s a Pak’ma’ra.
I can't find it now (I thought it was either in this thread or JMS on Twitter) but it came down to Franke being retired in a remote area. Or maybe just retired. I can't remember the specifics. I'm sure Jan knows.
Again, I have to say I really love this animation style.

At 70, Chris Franke is semi- to mostly-retired...he's doing one thing for a German company, and as he explained recently, that's all he has the bandwidth for right now. That said, the music in the movie is absolutely in line with what was done before.
Much obliged! That's exactly the tweet I recalled. I tried to find it but their search engine couldn't pull it up and I wasn't in the mood for the infinite scroll.Here's what JMS said in May:
You were entirely right. And I loved that JMS did apparently contact Franke to do the music. In another thread about the music CDs, JMS mentioned that WB owns the music so I've wondered if there might be a chance we might get some familiar passages. Hope so!Much obliged! That's exactly the tweet I recalled. I tried to find it but their search engine couldn't pull it up and I wasn't in the mood for the infinite scroll.
So I was partially right with both retirement and remoteness (head space anyways).
Well given that Batman Beyond's musical style could broadly be described as a mix of synth and orchestral (plus industrial rock), and that also applies to much of Franke's work (sans rock), I'd say that's as good a substitution as one might ask for!Fair enough. I haven't watched that show in many years so I barely recall its music beyond (no pun intended) its theme.

Nine a.m. Pacific time.
Today.
Eight hours from right now.
A peek into the future.
Be here or be square.
Or B5.

Yeah, I'll wait for the full thing. Not a fan of drip-feed promotion.Ugh....I hate teasers for trailers. I don't blame JMS for this but it's still so damn obnoxious.
I would say the voices were Sheridan, Ivanova, Franklin, and Londo. I assume the Starfury pilot is Sheridan considering its his voiceover at that moment, specifically saying "I was there."
