『サンダーバード』『謎の円盤UFO』などで有名な英国TV界の名匠ジェリー・アンダーソンにとって、4作目となる人形劇『スーパーカー』。台詞の音声に反応して人形の唇が動く電磁機構を活用し、特撮技術で未来メカの活躍をリアルに描く、「スーパーマリオネーション」というジャンルを確立した記念すべき作品。ビーカー博士とポプキス教授が発明した、空でも海でも進める夢の乗り物、"スーパーカー"による冒険劇。しかし、この"スーパーカー"には、一つだけ欠点があった。それは、道路の上は走れないのだ・・・。初期作品ということもあり、『サンダーバード』と比べると、キャラクターが微妙なところも、味わい深い。もちろん、音楽を担当するのは、ジェリー・アンダーソン作品には欠かせない、バリー・グレイ。今まで、『スーパーカー』の音楽は、バリー・グレイ作品集『Stand by for action』などのコンピに数曲収録されていただけで、今回、単体のサントラ盤としてCDになるのは初めて。主題歌から胸踊る内容で、これはファン必聴の一枚になること間違いなし!!
