Toaster Strooder You’ve likely heard the Spider-Man theme before. Maybe you’ve heard a rendition or two. However, have you heard a spunky, funky big band arrangement of the Spider-Man theme with an ensemble of instruments and musicians?

If you haven’t, then you’ve come to the right place to change that. I recommend you take the opportunity. Favorite track: Spider-Man Theme (1974 Studio Prequel).

about

Here are three previously unreleased edits of Spider-Man Theme, first out on the 2002 Resound album.

The most interesting track is the first, a one-take realtime studio improvisation. Back in 2004 we were remaking the 2002 version for a European album drop, and at the end of the studio session, the recording ensemble where told to "go nuts" with the theme and full song in realtime, just have the theme in mind and have the most fun. It made for a delightfully funky impro session, tons of great licks and phrases. This release is the raw take with all mistakes and warts, no correcrtive editing or replacement has been done, it's the full studio performance.

The second track, the 2005 version was released on Cowboy Desperado album. This track then used sampled slices of multiple studio recordings to built a more organic version of the 2002 original. (Cowboy Desperado was a European release that combined Resound and Cinematronics into one album with some remakes and remastering.)

The third track is the live version from 2011, which is quite similar to the 2005 version, just different mix, some changed samples and an alternative percussion part.
