Free Music Review: Great music indeed!
Hit: 4 Stars
After enjoying the score for the Battlestar Galactica 2003 mini-series by Richard Gibbs (with Bear McCreary) I was keen to hear how they would continue with their brooding, minimalistic style in the series. Well, they stayed true to the same musical textures but built upon them with greater ethnic diversety and emotionally powerful score writing.
Most of this album from Series 1 is composed by Bear McCreary and he proves himself to be a truly gifted composer who is not limited to certain styles or genres but can draw upon cultral styles
from accross the globe. From Taiko drums to middle-eastern woodwinds and even Irish pipes mixed with strings, electronica and even opera we are treated to a musical canvas that is multi-textured and often wonderfully entertaining and interesting. From quiet, introspective cues with minimal orchestration to grand string orchestras soaring with true classical grandios! Bear McCreary has created a truly wonderful soundscape for one of the best sci-fi series to come out in many years! I look forward to hearing his music for series 2 with great anticipation!
