Free Music Notes for Battlestar Galactica: Season Two
Free Music Review: Absolutely Stupendous
Hit: 5 Stars
Enchanting. Superb. Mesmerizing. Heart-stopping.
These are just some of the words I can use to describe the Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Soundtrack. It is simply out of this world. If you liked even one note of the music in Season 2, you will be sumptously rewarded with this CD. It explores every melody we glimsped in the show, and some of the songs seem like they could belong in an entirely different collection---of of, say, classical music. The musical scope ranges from Celtic to Eastern-sounding, with plenty of pounding percussion beats and string rhythms.
My favourites include:
A Promise to Return (absolutely beautiful strings...read the inspiration for the title in the booklet; it's very sad)
Roslin and Adama (perfect, though I don't remember hearing it during the show. It's simply gorgeous)
One Year Later (stirring. I could listen to it for hours)
Lords of Kobol (Deep. But I have a feeling they played a different version during the show. Though maybe I was focusing too much on that Admiral Kayne...)
Something Dark is Coming (Really awesome.)
I entreat you to buy this CD. It will probably remain in my Walkman for the next 3 months!
Free Music Review: An evolution beyond compare
Hit: 5 Stars
This iteration of the Battlestar Galactica soundtrack series is, so far, the best. In fact, I'm convinced this is one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard, for film or TV. First - the variety of styles from episode to episode involves a lot more string and guitar arrangements than did season 1, yet they all still maintain a cohesive thread that binds them together. The taiko drums depicting the deep, dark, quiet solitude of space are still there, and very prominently on a couple of tracks. The refinement of the opening credits theme song, which appears 2nd to last on the disc, fits nicely... and provides a nice gap between the main part of the soundtrack, and the killer finale - a heavy guitar laden tour de force written for the Black Market episode.
I'm already eagerly aniticpating what Bear will create for Season 3, and after watching the first two episodes, I'm all ready to pre-order the Season 3 soundtrack!

The music for Battlestar Galactica just keeps getting better and better. This music in season two is rich, densely layered, and full of emotion. I applaud the creators of the show for presenting new music in each season. I will happily keep buying the soundtracks.Free Music Review: Still TV music
Hit: 3 Stars
Scar and the main theme songs are great songs. Lots of energy. The rest are TV songs slow long instruntmental pieces.Free Music Review: Now for something completely different
Hit: 5 Stars
What can I say -CD2 builds and improves upon CD1. Gone are some of the composers tendencies to over indulge in some of the "stranger" wind instruments and other pieces of music. The CD still hold some of the most unique soundtrack music you will ever here but now it is more edited and tighter. The Main piece, a riff on the Old Galactica theme is actually amazing and is worth the cost of the CD alone. "Prelude to War" and some fo the other pieces associated with the season 2 cliffhanger will get you hair to stand up it is so exciting. You want one soundtrack that will keep your interest this is the one- pick up CD1 if u like worth the price of admission.
