This is bizarre – can anyone explain why track 2 (The Battle In The Snow) is a cover of a tune from the Ulysses31 soundtrack? I thought I was hearing things! What’s going on, does anyone know? It certainly isn’t Star Wars – & there wasn’t any snow in Ulysses31, if I recall. I’m perplexed! Cheers.
Okay, looks like I’ve got this one back front. The Battle in the Snow does indeed contain a cue that Meco used in this composition (which is otherwise totally different – hence why I never caught it previously). Ulysses 31, a year later in 1981, then totally ripped-off this Meco disco version & just basically sped it up for the track, ‘Ulysse Combat le Cyclope’. I heard John William’s sued over it (but don’t quote me on that). It kinda makes sense now, as there’s another track on Ulysses which completely rips off a track from Queen’s Flash Gordon soundtrack, also from 1980. So, there we are. Mystery solved.
