Actually, this one is one of a kind. In a bad way. Why? This is the only “soundtrack” I know that does NOT contain the series main theme, a beautiful instrumental piece at the end credits. A vital part of my weekly meetings with the GofL. A vital part of the show’s ambience. It’s undoubtedly written by these same unpronounceable authors, because this material is very similar. Similar enough to make me think that I’ve just missed it among any other 33 songs on this album and make me feel stupid. That didn’t happen after multiple re-listenings.
