BAD ADVICE

The real problem since 1996 was bad advice. When we originally approached MCA Music Ltd in London we were told that we'd have to find Sylvester Levay and Udi Harpaz to get their permission to do the project, which implied they'd somehow had the rights to the music... which was unusual, but in our ignorance of the full facts a frantic search for well over a year brought up nothing... until I got on "the Net" through my job.

I couldn't find either of them, until I used a bit of lateral thinking through the search engines on the Net (Thank you 'Excite' and 'Alta Vista'!). Neither Sly nor Udi had done any TV or film work for over five years back then. This was not a good sign at the start! How would I find them now?

Well, one day in March (1998), the search engine brought up a little gem of information that Sylvester had done a German-language musical in Austria called 'Elisabeth'... a huge hit there, on par with an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical here in the UK.

Meanwhile, I was constantly developing new episodic tracks from AIRWOLF, as close to their original sound, feel and arrangement as was humanly possible without the original synths, equipment and sound engineers - even then it would have be impossible to recreate every nuance in exacting detail.
