The Stationary Ark was a documentary television miniseries hosted by zoologist Gerald Durrell on location at his Jersey Zoological Park in the United Kingdom. It was based on his 1976 book of the same name. The series was produced by Canadian company Nielsen-Ferns and aired from September to December 1975 on CBC Television and TVOntario. Ark on the Move, a follow-up TV series, was also hosted by Gerald Durrell.

  • Ever since I heard the a crude S.I.D. chip version of this on a Commodore 64 demo called "Swinth" (Swish + Synth), I've wanted to hear the original John Mills-Cockell version of "Stationary Ark". I am so curious to hear what it sounds like, because I like the Swinth version and even this version so much.

  • @dockdrumming The SID was the first version I heard, and its the track that got me into commodore 64 style chiptunes. The only reason I heard it was because it turned up on stumbleupon. Now I do a radio show at my university dedicated to chiptunes.

  • @sikhayar I remember the animated intro to the show too. I still remember vividly hearing the tune as a youngster. Afterwards, every time I heard it on the TV I would get closer to the TV to hear it properly. Tell my brother and sister to shut up.

  • @WolfandCougar THANK GOD someone besides me remembers that animated opening! I loved it too & can't find it anywhere, so hum it from time to time to preserve it in memory! :)

  • The original theme is still the best...if anyone has it please post

  • el grupo de amigos que teniamos la commodore 64 nos fascinaba este demo "swinth" solo reconociamos algunos de los tracks pero siempre quisimos saber como se llamaba la 1er canción, gracias por compartir esta bellisima melodia

  • me too, the first time I hear it was on C64 and my first reaction was... it is done by the same SID chip or they have found a new feature to make it sound like that? :)

  • I remember this from the TV show. Although I never really bothered to watch the actual episodes, I always loved listening to the theme. I've never been able to find the original version.

  • wow! I thought I was the only one in the world who knew about this song from the commodore 64 SWINTH program... I thought I would never know what the name of this song was... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING IT! :)

  • gnomebean, this is not the original version. This is a remix of the C64 SID version.

  • very soothing piece is there any way to download this?
