Yes, the first serial indeed set the tone, and who can forget that haunting wandering theme which opened each chapter. In Mars, we were treated to much of Waxman's score from Bride of Frankenstein. But for me, the best music, robust, melodic, action based, especially during aerial battles or Flash Gordon fight music if you will, came from the last serial, Universe..1940, with its Les Preludes plus dramatic pieces from Waxman and others, and that hauntingly beautiful section from the later, shorter release of the White Hell of Pitz Palu in the USA. Overall, I'll cast my vote for FGCTU as my favorite in the music department.
