'HAWKE's RUN', 'JENNIE' and 'KINGDOM COME' music teasers from Airwolf Extended Themes soundtrack 2CD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been very busy since April juggling multiple tracks at once, so things are progressing well this end, but here's a triple whammy of Airwolf teasers for you all to make up for it.
updated FINAL Teaser (27th July, 2013):

Airwolf 3rd Season episode 'JENNIE' with the "Operation Blackstone" aerial by the late Bernardo Segall |
Using an unusual blend of instruments (for the established Levay & Harpaz composing style of the Airwolf TV series anyway!) such as bringing in extra percussion instruments like Wood Block and Guiro, along with the upbeat sounds of the Xylophone and Slentam, making it a very different piece to the rest of this album. I was adamant however that I wanted an upbeat South American, almost Mariachi-type piece of music in CD2 from the choice available so this was it.
It'll be one of those episodic pieces that folks will either love or hate, but variety is the spice of life.
Airwolf HAWKE's RUN Teaser MP3 (MK3) (6th June)

Airwolf 3rd Season episode 'HAWKE'S RUN' with Hawke forced to go on the run from Victor Karsten with Marilyn Kelsey |

Hawke escapes in Marilyn's car |
The escape theme is again used soon after - in this late Richard Irving-directed episode - when Hawke ran in slow-mo from the Adamson House to the waiting JetRanger on the beach. I feel this was probably the last of Sly's really great episodic compositions as he only did two more by then before the rot set into the whole production and the remaining handful of eps were sub-par compared to this, so for me personally this is the last theme that Sly did a great job on.
Airwolf KINGDOM COME Teaser MP3 (MK4) (6th June)
updated FINAL Teaser (27th July, 2013):

Airwolf 3rd Season episode 'KINGDOM COME' - Caitlin's in peril, as Babe from the bomb squad and Archangel try to save her |
![]() |
Stephen Parr as KEN SAWYER |
But then I always liked Sly's use of the percussion shakers on top of the standard drums in the initial car chase (which I did a different version of on the original 'Airwolf Themes' 2CD) at the start of the episode, so this final version is a combination of the two cues.
ORCHESTRAL-HEAVY TRACKS COMING UP NEXT
Am currently working on a couple of similar tracks at the moment including the final 'ECHOS FROM THE PAST' tag ending in Hawke's cabin. Also working on the Wagner-esque "Blaze joyride" track from the 'PILOT' episode (TV Version).
