From MovieScore Media: "Daniel Pemberton is one of the most inventive and in-demand composers of television music in the UK, winning an Ivor Novello Award for Desperate Romantics, two BAFTA nominations and two Royal Television Society Award nominations. His music for BBC Four’s drama series based on Douglas Adams’ cult classic ‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency’ showcases Pemberton’s instantly catchy style: a score driven by a retro feel channeled through infectious harpsichord riffs and cimbalom melodies over a pop combo beat - as lifted right out of a 1960s detective tv show! Pemberton’s ode to UK TV legends such as John Barry, Laurie Johnson and Roy Budd, but also features other quirky elements such as Wendy Carlos-inspired lo-fi electronica! MovieScore Media’s CD release of the Dirk Gently soundtrack follows hot on the heels of the airing of the show on BBC Four. The series pilot attracted 1.1 million viewers when broadcast in December 2010, making it one of the most popular shows ever on BBC Four."
