Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy News Blog

Soundtrack available on iTunes

It has been reported on PlanetMagrathea.com (and confirmed by myself) that the soundtrack for The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is already available on iTunes, including 33 tracks, 26 of which are orchestral pieces written by Joby Talbot, including a cover of the theme song from the TV series, the Eagles' "Journey Of The Sorceror", which will certainly make veteran fans happy!

The report goes on to say that there are also tunes from Al Green, Perry Como, and Betty Wright, as well as a cover of "Reasons To Be Miserable", a song originally sung by Marvin, though the lyrics have been rewritten from the first-person to the third-person point of view. The new version is sung by Stephen Fry, the voice of The Guide in the movie.
