"I think it added to the programme very well," Attenborough told the Guardian. "It's very different from a huge orchestra, it has an almost chamber music sound. I was delighted to hear it was being issued."</p><p>Life On Earth heralded a new genre of nature programming. Its ambitious analysis of evolution from primitive algae to land mammals reached its pinnacle in an era-defining encounter between <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20091105083627/http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p004j5sw" title="Attenborough and a family of mountain gorillas">Attenborough and a family of mountain gorillas</a> in Rwanda, where he ad-libbed in a half-whisper to camera as a giant primate gently groomed him.</p><p>The music was pivotal to the programme's impact. Using flute, harp, clarinet, strings, percussion and early synthesisers, Williams's score provided an <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20091105083627/http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/sep/08/life-on-earth-soundtrack" title="evocative counterpoint to the visuals">evocative counterpoint to the visuals</a> and Attenborough's commentary.</p><p>Williams and his orchestra intricately crafted the music scene-by-scene to reflect the imagery on-screen. In one sequence examining the flight of birds, the instrumentation mirrors each new creature's appearance. "I thought that if the music was written specifically for a film that it wouldn't work on its own. But it does," Williams said.</p><p>To create the soundscape, Williams fed recordings of his orchestra through an early British synthesiser, the VCS3. That avant-garde approach matched the groundbreaking production techniques of the series, which featured such innovations as video jump-cuts across continents with total continuity in Attenborough's commentary.</p><p>"I started using the filters and voltage control of the VCS3 on conventionally created classical sounds by the orchestra," Williams said. "It made possible all sorts of marvellous explorations of new sounds which could then be made into music."</p><p>The record's route from obscurity to its new release is one of almost evolutionary serendipity.

Among the collection lay the Life On Earth recording.</p><p>"I bought the lot, kept the Williams LP, and sold the rest the next day for the same money," Trunk said.</p><p>Trunk then licensed the music from the BBC, an arduous six-month process. The original sleeve featured illustrations, but the new record features a red-eyed Panamanian tree frog. That images comes from a book that accompanied the series that Trunk found in a second-hand shop. The photo was taken by Attenborough, who granted its use free of charge.</p><p>"He didn't even mention money," Trunk said. "I think he's a higher being than that. It would almost have been rude to ask how much he wanted for it."</p><p>Williams says recording the music and watching the series changed his world view. "It made a huge impression on me and changed my life. I've been fascinated by evolution ever since. My admiration for David is unfathomable. He is the most marvellous man, quiet and clear and very, very sensible."</p><p>Williams toured in the 1970s with his band, Uncle Jambo's Pendular Vibrations, a group playing three VCS3
