The bad guy's HQ was on a volcanic island and looked very futuristic inside (in a 70s way).

Comments: Gerry, I remember this series, it was set on a volcanic island (such as Tenerife). The barron's house was inside a mountain and featured a massive open topped atrium with ivy hanging down through the roof. It had automatic sliding doors and was v.futuristic. I remember the music was just like AIR's first album. I think the french pop sensation must of been fans themselves. The series was origionally filmed in a different language and was dubbed (very badly). Take it easy. Hadley.

The music is by Christian Bruhn, and he's to me what Oum Kalthoum is to Rocket Scientist. So don't forget to listen to Bruhn's opus magnum, the Captain Future soundtrack.
