Marty Simon was a great composer for this series - some operatic, some disco/techno, and some folk, but this, "The Lexx Escape" was the most exciting and fit the scene...yes 0.58 someone has noted....completely pulled me into the series. Fans, including me, fought to keep this on the air. ...and I hated the ending.
This tune brings back so many memories!! I watched Lexx when it first aired and I hadn't seen too much sci-fi before. The bit at 0:58 seconds when the guitars come in is an iconic part of the pilot episode that i remember. They are gliding the leviathanic-vessel that is Lexx out of his hanger and over the city. The mixture of seeing something THAT big attempt to creep slowly out into the darkness combined with the starting of the guitar part was iconic! My first sci-fi memory!
@FatBlackFrancis (season 1 spoilers) For me, the memory I associate with that guitar riff is the Lexx suddenly appearing out of nowhere to confront the Gigashadow.
Kai's name has absolutely no Asian bearing. The show is produced part in German and part Canadian. They never explained the etymology or meaning of his name but one can conclude its probably one of the follow 3.
Kai a kind of throat singing practiced in the Altai Republic
Kai the "and" conjunction in Greek
In North Germanic languages, Kai means "keeper of the keys; earth".
I always assumed it was the 3rd one, since he seems to have been burdened with saving the galaxy from the "shadow"
Also I remember listening to a lecture once on the history of Maori language, originally kai was a label for potatos or kumaras, starchy foods. But then gradually came to mean food in general.
Kinda like in japan how gohan means "rice" but also "food"
Lexx is one of the best SCI-FI shows. I loved the series so much. The plot is not the most inventive, but the banter and atmospheric situation of the show makes for a very enjoyable watch, especially late night when it normally airs.
Zev was my favorite character. Eva Habermann was stunning in this role. Too bad she left the show. Xenia Seeberg was farrrrr not that great
