Before I left Bute Island Radio, I produced two complete episodes, with one other episode still in the planning stages. One episode made it to air; the others did not. This was the episode that made it to air. This was the premiere episode of CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO for Bute Island Radio.
If you are unaware of what transpired with Bute Island Radio, I suggest you read my announcement post HERE and then read my resignation post HERE.
For my first episode on Bute Island Radio, I thought I’d take advantage of the popularity of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and the recent release of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE, and play music from Spy Films. On the program I played selections from MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (Elfman), MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE (Balfe), MUNICH (Williams), NOTORIOUS (Webb), THE IPCRESS FILE (Barry), THE TAILOR OF PANAMA (Davey) and THE RUSSIA HOUSE (Goldsmith).
This was the most fun I’ve had producing a program since my John Williams tribute a few years ago! I hope you enjoy the commentary and the selections.

Great episode Erik, That Mission Impossibleb(MI)theme is so iconic and stands with the James Bond Theme, Star Wars Theme, soon as you hear it you know instantly what film/franchise its comes from. Those new MI films are full on in terms of music and boy that’s a lot of notes to play!!! Loved John Barry’s score to the Ipcress File, Palmer being the opposite to Bond in those Palmer films. I bought the Russia House years ago in a charity shop for a small sum, can’t remember now what I paid, but the JG theme is great. Great episode Erik, Please sir can I have some More!! Best wishes James Alexander
