ASSIGNMENT: DANGER! · album
Variations, alternates and spin-offs. Everything the Top Secret Soundtrack is not.
If the Top Secret Soundtrack is the main titles, this is everything else the operations produced.
Some of it is the same bone given different flesh. A main title goes to another singer and comes back as a different agent in the same world: Agent Cinderella of CERBERUS rather than Agent Covenant. The Anvil is taken by Silent Slim, and returned to by Agent Siren of SEA LIONS. Nightfall comes back in its alternative version.
Some of it is not a song at all. Passenger X arrives as rap, and again with solo violin. Instrumentals are written out of the adventure themes rather than out of the titles.
Every one is its own recording, often with different musicians and different vocalists. None is a cover of another. They are the house’s own argument, made a second way.
