Tomek FM nah who wants to be a millionare is better imo Edit: Well 2 years have passed and i figure i should say i haven nothing against Paul Fadder and this ost is amazing (and at that the 2020 recreation for the usa reboot was fantastic). Its just given the stakes who wants to be a millionaires ost just sits a bit better with me but by all accounts weakest link nailed it to.
I used to watch this show all the time. The Simpsons would usually be on after it then followed by either The Fresh Prince or Robot Wars. Those were the days
Great soundtrack Paul, one of my favorite from any game show. I believe with the US version, they added the clock ticking sound in with your music as heard here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VJnm43i6Rr4.html and some other background effects as well.
Now, thanks to the marvellous invention that is the internet, I can finally put a face on who made one of the most iconic music from my childhood. Thank you Paul for that splendid music !
I love how each tone-up in the question bed represents each portion of the time remaining on the clock : G# : 1 minute A : 30 seconds A# : 15 seconds Great details, sir.
*2002 year.... Russian edition of The Weakest Link... when i heard the Sudden Death Music, my heart is Stopped!!!* *Amazing, relaxing, brilliant music. Paul, you're so talanted man!! Thank you so much for this masterpiece!* *Cheers from Russia. Anton*
Still think the music helped make this show as memorable as it is still today. Still love how the clock music started very ambient with a subtle ticking sound like a pocketwatch, but with every 30 seconds or so, the pitch would shift and another instrument would be added and the ticking is more like that of a grandfather clock. Such an anxiety fueled adrenaline rush to watch back in its hayday.
14 февраля 2020 года, у нас в России вернулась на телеэкраны моя любимая программа Слабое ЗВено. МУзыка та что играла в 2000 годах. Спасибо вам за такую крутую музыку, та что новая версия музыки конечно прикольно, но самая лучшая что в 2000 была. Я тоже пишу музыку, я правда в этом не ососбо разбираюсь особенно в эллектронной. НЛ получается неплохо, я даже написал свою новую музыку для ТВ игры, правда незнаю что с ней делать.
This is so amazing and in the same time so beatifull and melodious. Thank you for publishing this ! Keep up the great work. Could you publish some music from "Breakaway ?". It's so amazing too
Im glad i wasnt the only one spooked out by this music. God this music actually made that logo the forefront of my nightmares. Im glad ive been able to rise above it and actually enjoy this now. This show and its ost is really up there with who wants to be a millionaires soundtrack in my eyes.
I wanted to let you know music you made for both Weakest Link and Buzz! videogames (from which I consider the Buzzes literally outstanding) are what made me kickstart into composing. I wish it was possible to have the latter without in-game sounds and with such quality as these. I bet this ain't happening because of copyright claims. Many thanks and big respect to you mr. Farrer, Filip from Poland
I remember seeing this show when it first came to North America. It's interesting that they brought Anne Robinson out to California to host it. She did a great job with it, although one year she did land on Mr. Blackwell's worst dressed list. "Here are the eight contestants who will take part in tonight's show. One of them will walk away with up to one million dollars. The rest will leave with nothing, as round by round, they're voted off as..... the Weakest Link".
Did you guys know Jane Lynch is now the host on the reboot watched it this week and it was funny with the statements or jokes that she would make and what I did not like though if you remember the question about Heath Ledger she let the contestant get away with giving a partial answer and then changing it Anne Robinson or George Gray would never allow any contestant to get away with that move
The weakest link soundtrack sorta reminds me of cube (1997) ost at some point, was this intended or am I having visions? (The walk of shame in particular)
Few days ago I discovered an amasing thing, the Russian version of the show with Maria being second in her voice of steel only to Anne herself, has been restarted and she's again the presenter. Now this lockdown is much more bearable hahah
This is the original 2000 theme of weakest link (note the extra 2 beats at the start of clock) The penalty shootout is usually known as the head to head and sudden death intro acts like the head to head but is faster.
0:01 Here are the nine contestants preparing for today’s show. One of will be able to win up to £10,000 the others will leave with nothing when voted off as... The Weakest Link!
perfect music ever which can fit the games so much(including the timing counter) saddly BBC didn't air the show again Hope one day,BBC would allow you to release an ablum for both UK and US version of all weakest link music (My country(Hong Kong) has bought the show too and call 一筆OUT消 It was an Iconic show and I can't forget that.) I hope oneday one of our TV Boardcast ill decide to do this show again. Paul,May I ask you some question refer to the music? I remember the question bed has some changes when air in UK Version (for Prime time before move the production to pinewood studio) The Intro have three sequel version the question bed on prime time and day time was different too DayTime used around 2000 until at the end of the show but the prime time series has a bit different,the melody was too dry and not smoth,like an bad speaker to play the beautiful music.Luckly when they change. and this is just exist in UK only(not on international,and just exist until they change the player from 8/7 to 9 and move to pinewood studio ) For US the question bed have adding more effects including Vocals,Drums and Clock Ticking. For your opinion which one you think is the best and your favourite question bed and the Intro??? Most of Us want you to upload more sound clip. we wants was the winner announcement BGM and the Sudden Death theme before enter the credits.
I have a question... Can you tell me what is the software or synthesizer you use for the strings? because l love how sound in "Question bed" and "Sudden death" ❤️
Hi the string sounds are from a few different places. Originally they were from a Peter Siedlaczek sample library (25 years old) but this time I added elements from Spitfire Audio’s BBC Symphony Orchestra sample collection.
Great music for the great show! Shame, that in Poland (where show was called Najsłabsze Ogniwo) host of the show was very weak, but still this show was AWESOME!!!!!
But in final round has been used the sudden death music, not penalty shootout music, don't k'now why... Penalty shootout music is the best soundtrack from the weakest link and I'm sad that's music was not used in polish version.
Its actually a legit strategy - vote off the stronger link so you are left with the 'less smart' people so you have a higher chance at winning the money.
I have very fond memories of the Mexican version of the show. I was a huge fan of it when I was little. But for some reason listening to this I giggle instead of getting nostalgic.
"These are the 9 players who will take part in today's game, one of them could win up to £50,000, the rest will leave with nothing as round-by-round they're voted off as "the Weakest Link".
