Free Music Notes for Battlestar Galactica: Season One
Free Music Review: Agree with everyone else
Hit: 5 Stars
There have been lots of raving reviews of this album, as well as the equally sensational season 2 soundtrack. I just wanted to add my opinion on one track, "Destiny". An earlier review describes an Arabic string instrument being used, but it is actually a biwa, a traditional Japanese instrument that has such a distinct sound that it's hard to imagine it being used for anything other than traditional gagaku music. I don't know if anyone but McCreary has ever tried to use this instrument for something else, but it hardly matters. The fact that McCreary managed to use it so effectively in a piece that is so different from gagaku music is a perfect testament to his unique genius. I'm really looking forward to following McCreary's career.Free Music Review: Fantastic
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is absolutely fantastic and the price is right. It pulls the best music from Season 1 so you have it. Just have to flag The Shape of Things To Come, its related Passacaglia and Destiny as the cream of the crop in the CD. Brings back images from the series flooding through your head as you listen. The music casts such a wide net in instruments and type - its just wonderful getting to listen to it.
If you think you might want this, get it while its still in production - unlike DVD's, CD's production lifespans often are short (couple of years) and don't come back into production very often.
Free Music Review: Bear McCreary is a genius composer
Hit: 5 Stars
The soundtrack sounded refreshing and unique. Many of the tracks left a chilling impression on me, especially Passacagl ia, Kobal's Last Gleaming, and The Shape of Things to Come.
Two Funerals, and Forgiven has that nice emotional feeling to it.
The music that accompanied the battle scenes and tense situations in the show is amazing, the fast beating of drums and etc. enhances the tension. McCreary knows how to compose.
All in all, the soundtrack has a wide range of style and sound to it in each track, from Classical Symphony, New Age, and a little bit of Techno.
Free Music Review: This really is the Best Sci-Fi Show out there at the moment
Hit: 5 Stars
If you thought the first soundtrack to the mini-series was good then this goes beyond that. This is just pure sci-fi at its greatness, blending an ethnic vocals over dreamscape and moving music. This really works with the series 1 and in my opinion this is one of the best sci-fi shows that are out that moment, even better than its competitors Stargate SG1/Atlantis.
Combining sturring score with a series that has greatness all over it, I'd buy the season 1 also with it, its well worth it.
Free Music Review: the first review/kagemusha
Hit: 5 Stars
well, this is the first time for a review, and i was recomended to this review. so here it goes.First of all wow!!! i mean wooow
what a score, Bear McCreary did a hell of a job on this project.
Its like a mix of all kinds of composers , like Harry Gregson Williams( from Man on Fire), Halo lot of cue`s, i could go on, and ofcause a danish group called Safri Duo.
If anyone of your guys and girls like this kind of sumption , then buy it now.
