The Ohm thump the hell out of Barry Gray's original theme to the Gerry Anderson classic, 'Captain Scarlet' - a US band who love UK TV, if you're interested!
an excerpt from a December 2011 release from Fruits de Mer Records - 'Do Not Adjust Your Set' - a 7" ep that goes back in time in search of the mysterious white spot and brings you some of your favourite TV themes from the 60s and early 70s, reinterpreted with love and sometimes a bit of a warped sense of humour - we love it, and we hope you will too!
A co-production with Fran Ashcroft from Happbeat Studio - so blame Fran as much as us.

Not the worst version I've heard,. Sounds very sixties too, I think I might have a go one day.. Sounds like you guys enjoyed playing it, well done! SIG!

This is a good version. Still needs some twaeking of the pace and tempo though.
