I\u2019m so sad, I went and made my own Life on Mars Soundtrack based on the published track list from the Life on Mars BBC website! And it rocks! The seventies may not have had PC Terminal or Mobile Phones, but did they have music!?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nope you’re not on your own, I know I’ve done the same thanks to the power of the Internet, but I think kudos goes to the BBC for actually putting up a soundtrack page<\/a> and specifically saying ‘there’ll be no soundtrack.” Which given the rights clearance would be a nightmare is no surprise. So time to build your own.<\/p>\n

Life On Mars\\' Disco<\/div>\n

Anyone out there got a copy of Drum Song by Willie Lindo & The Charmers Band<\/em> or Dream Land by The Upsetters<\/em>? I’m missing these ones from the episode two. What’s strange is that there’s one track missing from the listing. Episode 4 closed off with “I Don’t Believe In If Anymore” by Roger Whittaker – acknowledged in his macho way as a favourtie track by DCI Gene Hunt. Tsk tsk tsk BBC, I thought we could trust you. Especially with lyrics like<\/p>\n

Oh I don’t believe in if anymore
\nIt’s an illusion, it’s an illusion,
\nOh I don’t believe in if anymore,
\nIf it’s for children, if it’s for children,
\nBuilding daydreams<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Listen to the music…<\/p>\n
