"Lyle Swann is a champion off-road racer. But to the people of 1877, he's something very, very different..."

Thanks to the dilligence of Music-Snob's LRobHubbard, I can finally post Michael Nesmith's score for the 1982 cult sci-fi film "Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann." Lyle Swann (Fred Ward) is a champion off-raod motocross racer who is definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer. On a practice run for the Baja 1000 race, he winds up driving through an area where the government is testing a new time machine, codemaned "Project Timerider." When the machine is activated, it sends not only the intended object back to 1877, but Lyle as well. Armed with only a map from an Exxon station and his wits (or lack thereof), Lyle treis to find out where the hell he is, not knowing he's travelled back a century (this happens for the whole movie). When a gang of vicious thieves, led by Porter Reese (Peter Coyote), see Lyle's machine in action, they want it for themselves, and Lyle has to team with a female gunfighter (Belinda Bauer) in order to survive as the government tries to find a way to bring Lyle back to 1982.

Michael Nesmith (of The Monkees fame) not only produced and co-wrote the film with director William Dear, but also contributed the music as well. He manages to make a great synth action score (although for scenes set in the 80s, I would have used synth and for the rest of the film, set in the wild west, I would have used an orchestral score) that backs this film quite niocely. Download and enjoy!
