Albums: Globe Trekker - Ambient Journeys

Since the first Globe Trekker TV show was produced, the team of composers who create the soundtrack have been pushing back the boundaries of television music. The scores blend music and sounds recorded on location into compositions and arrangements by musicians more usually associated with hit records and classical albums.

Globe Ambient Journeys contains soft rhythms from a steamy Central American jungle to the light uplifting note of a Chinese flute. Globe Trekker episodes featured include China, Brazil, Ecuador & The Galapagos Islands, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan, Morocco, India and The Philippines, plus the Globe Trekker theme song.
