A Future to This Life: Robocop – The Series Soundtrack is a 1995 soundtrack album by Joe Walsh and Various artists, which was released 24 January 1995, on both CD and cassette by Pyramid Records. It was the soundtrack for Stephen Downing's RoboCop: The Series, based on the RoboCop film series. The series stars Richard Eden as the title character. Made to appeal primarily to children and young teenagers, it lacks the graphic violence that was the hallmark of Robocop (1987) and its sequel RoboCop 2 (1990).
Aside from the show's theme writers, Joe Walsh and Lita Ford, it features classic rock songs from groups like The Band, The Flamingos, Iron Butterfly, and KC & the Sunshine Band. It also marked the final contribution for pianist and organist Nicky Hopkins, who died the year before its release.
