Back in the distant mists of time, namely the mid-1980s, there was an animated series which ran on American television. And yea, it was good. And by “good” I mean “rather melodramatic, with uneven animation quality but a surprisingly compelling storyline.” This series was known to us as Robotech, though most diehard fans went on to discover that its origins were interesting and complicated.
The minds behind Robotech envisioned a follow-up series, one not born of Japanese content but instead wholly original while attempting to retain the storytelling panache of its lineage. Characters were drawn, scripts were penned… and music was composed and performed. Sadly, their efforts failed to bear the desired fruit, so the project known as The Sentinels only made it to print form and to a lone music track on a CD devoted to its predecessor.
Of the music that survives, one segment was to be used for a scene depicting the wedding of two of the principal characters from the first (and arguably greatest) segment of the original series.
I hope that answers yesterday’s question to everyone’s satisfaction…
