Bear McCreary continues to amaze.
Bear McCreary delivers an amazing, moving soundtrack to one of the seminal Sci Fi series to date. His work adds such depth and emotion to an already great series that I can't imagine any of the episodes without also hearing the music composed for each.

Allegro
Great Music - a MUST not only for a fan of the series. A good kombination of string music and "traditional" japanese music with excellent taiko-drums.

Bear takes the tiger by the tail...
This is one of the better soundtracks that you can experience, TV, Movie, or otherwise. I can only imagine the obstacles that McCreary encountered, and by taking the tiger by the tail, Bear created a near-masterpiece of sound and rhythm. <br /> <br />With the great writing, cast, and presentation of BSG, it's very easy to overlook the impact that music had upon the series. As I return and watch the episodes once again, I pay special attention to the background tracks, which definitely enhance the overall experience. <br /> <br />Episodic, evocative, and melodic...this is one terrific CD that you can listen to over and over again. Well done by all involved!

BSG Season 2 Audio CD
This is another splendid set of musical compositions by Bear McCreary that provided much of the mood behind the popular television show, Battlestar Galactica. I enjoy a great variety of music and consider him to be a very gifted composer.

As great as the season one soundtrack was ... this was even better
It is the rare TV show where the music becomes as iconic and transformative as the show itself, and yet with Battlestar Galactica that is exactly the case. The show would not be the same with a "generic" soundtrack running in the background, and it is always a delight to see what delightful melody (or exotic instrument) Bear McCreary will come up with next. And as wonderful as the season one soundtrack was, McCreary really comes into his own with the second season. There is more variety, greater elaboration on themes established in season one, and I believe greater comfort with the musical tone being set for the series. The only disappointment with the season two soundtrack (and likely unavoidable due to copyright) is the absence of the beautiful Metamorphosis One which plays in the "Valley of Darkness" episode, although this track is easy to find (it's on Philip Glass' Solo Piano album). Speaking of Philip Glass, people who like the music of Battlestar Galactica should check out his compositions, as some of his piano music and also his work with strings seems to have been an influence for the more "classical" parts of the Battlestar Galactica repertoire. <br /> <br />If you like the music of Battlestar Galactica, you'll like this soundtrack. Go get it!
