 BSG Reimagined Audio CD
Submitted on: 2009-09-12 |
|
| This audio CD is fantastic like all those emerging from the television show, Battlestar Galactica. There is a rich mixture of styles and sounds that contributed greatly to the mood of various scenes on the reimagined series. |

Spot-on music for the show.

| This sound track was nigh-on-perfect for the show. It set the mood for the military/sci-fi drama and the human tragedy. |

 Weakest of the Four

One of the things that has attracted me to BSG was the music. After purchasing Bear McCreary's soundtracks for seasons 1-3, I thought I might as well grab Richard Gibbs' soundtrack from the miniseries. And unfortunately, I was disappointed.
The soundtrack for the miniseries is very cinematic, which in this case I felt was a bad thing. The music is quite structured. You can tell without looking at the titles, which tracks would be used to introduce characters, and set off battle scenes. McCreary's take on the music of BSG is much more versatile--nearly every track could be and was used for many more types of scenes than the type the track was written for. Now that being said, within the context of the miniseries, the music fits well and complements the scenes on the T.V. screen well. However, the miniseries soundtrack doesn't make for good "driving music" or "MP3 player music."
There are a few tracks that stand out as particularly fun, creepy or moving, such as "Starbuck Buck Buck," "Thousands Left Behind," "To Kiss or not to Kiss." However, the rest of the album is boring and filled with weak variations on Six's theme.
Bottom line, the Miniseries soundtrack by Richard Gibbs is not on par with McCreary's work, but it the first part of an excellent collection of instrumental music.

Repetitious

| I wouldn't recommend buying this album except for track 18, which by itself is worth the money. The strings on this orchestral track take you through only a couple minutes of intensity, turning up the volume louder you can hear the timpani behind the spine-chilling vocals that make the hairs on your neck stick up as she transposes octaves at the end of the track. |

Nice soundtrack
Submitted on: 2008-07-08 |

| Although the feel of this soundtrack is very different than the latter three soundtracks (owing to the fact that it was composed by a different person), it nevertheless delivers the same haunting mood and signature world-music feel of the entire franchise of BSG soundtracks. Listening definitely invokes the first BSG miniseries in the mind's eye. |
