What our customer's say!

"Galactica's Music:", I Love my CD!! I never thought that I would like music like this. But, since I heard it over and over while watching BSG, it was very familiar and I found it comforting. I listen to it both in the car and at home especially during yoga. The seller was honest about the product, it was new, still in the wrapping. I am satisfied with my purchase.

"Really fantastic music", This soundtrack is just great, it has a very good consistency from track to track and it has some really unique rhythems and great percusion. I just really like the mix of voice and instrument in many of the songs.

"awesomeness", This soundtrack is awesome! The cover of all along the watchtower is the perfect final touch to an awesome score!

"Frackin' awesome CD", One of the best things about the "Battlestar Galactica" CDs is that, unlike many other TV or film soundtracks, the majority of tracks on this album contain full-length compositions, not just little snippets of music that last less than a minute. Season Three of "BSG" was probably the most dramatic season the show's had thus far, and the music is all very intense, energetic, and emotional. Obviously, the best track on this album is the version of "All Along the Watchtower" performed by Bear McCreary, featuring Bt4. This is the song that played during the last few minutes of the dramatic season finale, and it's a fantastic cover version of a classic song. There are also a lot of other great tracks from the show's score included on this album. Highlights include "Precipice," which starts off slow and then builds and builds, becoming more intense as it goes on; "Storming New Caprica," a fast-paced battle song; "Violence and Variations," a somber theme that is used throughout the season; "The Dance," which is an Irish jig (kind of out of place in the world of "BSG," but it works); "Battlestar Sonatica," a melancholy ballad; "Fight Night," another powerful battle track; "Dirty Hands," which almost has a bit of a country twang to it; "Mandala in the Clouds," one of the most frantic songs on the entire album; and "Heeding the Call," a.k.a. the cylon revelation theme.

If you're a fan of "BSG" or just a lover of good music, this album is definitely for you!

"Simply One of the Absolute Best", What can I say? Not only does Battlestar Galactica have the best music currently on television, it has some of the best instrumental music that I've ever heard anywhere. And the Season Three soundtrack is, on the whole, the best of all three seasons yet released (although I can't wait for Number Four). Galactica truly has a very distinctive feel with its music by forgoing a constant orchestra and going for a smaller and more concentrated sound.

I'll start at the beginning. Raya Yarborough's vocals in "A Distant Sadness" are beautifully haunting, and it perfectly emulates the emotions from the episode. "Precipice" from the same episode is a great fast-paced piece that works as a prelude or preview to some of the bigger action pieces of the disc. "Admiral and Commander" is a good rendition of the Adama family theme, but it can't quite measure up to "Wander My Friends" from the first season.

"Storming New Caprica" is one of the best pieces of the soundtrack. It is in the vein of "Prelude to War" from Season Two, but New Caprica is far more complex with changing rhythms and more varied instrumentation. There's an inevitable comparison between the two pieces, and I prefer Prelude for its simplicity and power. But "Storming New Caprica" is stunning. This is followed by "Refugees Return", a surprisingly melancholy piece for the occassion is celebrates. It is a beautiful piece that creates a sort of sad victory. Next up is "Wayward Soldier", which introduces a cool new strings theme. However, it's not one I listen to very often simply because I like other pieces better.

We then have "Violence and Variations", the second long cue of the soundtrack. Each season has a long strings cue, and Violence is the best of any of them. Clocking in at nearly eight minutes, it encompasses many old themes from the show while also creating some new ones. It is extraordinary. Next is "The Dance", a piece I rarely listen to. It creates a nice world feel for Galactica, but it does feel a little out of place. Then we have "Adama Falls", an inferior rendition of the "Roslin and Adama" theme. Stick with Season Two on this one. After that is "Under the Wing", a short version of Starbuck's theme. It sounds fine and it's nice, but it's only 75 seconds, so not much happens with it.

Next up is the masterpiece of the disc, "Battlestar Sonatica". This piano solo is absolutely stunning. Words fail to describe how good this piece is. It is one of the most relaxing and calming pieces of music that I have ever heard. Then it's time for "Fight Night", a percussion-driven piece that gets a little lost in the rest of the disc. It's a good cue, but it's not memorable. With a disc like this, it has to be memorable. "Kat's Sacrifice" is next, and this is one of my favorites. It's the second time that brass has been used in the series, which really makes it a special occassion. The music itself is very powerful and creates this sense of both the loss and gain created by Kat's sacrifice. "Someone to Trust" is after that, a string piece that creates a relaxing feel at the start, but becomes very eerie and creepy at the end.

After that, we have two pieces that I've actually not listened to. I've never listened to "The Temple of Five" or "Dirty Hands". They didn't catch my attention when I started them, so I skipped them. We then have the tragic "Gentle Execution", a wonderfully crafted rendition of "Worthy of Survival" that truly evokes the sadness of Ellen Tigh's execution. Then it's "Mandala in the Clouds", an oustanding fast-paced piece that is driven by drum rhythms. It's too bad that this piece is barely audible in the episode, because it's awesome. "Deathbed and Maelstrom" is a beautiful rendition of the Starbuck theme, probably the best one yet released. It truly binds the scene together, creating a very powerful emotional response.

And we come to "Heeding the Call" and "All Along the Watchtower", two nearly inseparable pieces. Heeding serves as a prelude to Watchtower, and it's awesome. It's pulled straight from the season finale, and it sounds amazing. As for "All Along the Watchtower" itself, hasn't everything already been said? Most people (myself included) would have paid the price of the album just for that song. Now what does that tell you?

Battlestar Galactica: Season Three truly showcases the best of the best. There are so many great pieces that it's difficult to pick specific recommendations. But here are my specific song recommendations:
1. Storming New Caprica
2. Violence and Variations
3. Battlestar Sonatica
4. Mandala in the Clouds
5. All Along the Watchtower
But heck, just buy the whole disc. Trust me, it's worth it.

"Extraordinary", Every once in a while, a soundtrack comes along that restores my faith in the whole "soundtrack" concept. Not just a cash-in for superfans of a series, not just more product to churn out, it actually stands up on its own as an artistic work. This is one of them.

I like the other soundtrack albums to Battlestar Galactica - beginning with a minimalist approach, using pounding drums, Bear McCreary was able to create a very evocative and distinctive sound. As the seasons progressed, McCreary's budget grew and he was able to broaden his scope to include more instruments and vocalists. Still, those soundtracks tend to be a little choppy: short musical segments, generally culminating in a rapid fire drum rhythm. Perfect for the show, and the albums sound pretty cool.

For season three, everything came together to transcend any limitations there were previously. The songs are more fully developed, the moods more varied, and they make much more of an impression not only as individual pieces, but as a whole as well. Listening to this album, I feel like I'm reliving all of the emotions from the show - but not the specific emotions of particular characters. Independent of the series, these are some of the most powerful pieces of music I've heard in years. The pounding drums are still there, but also gorgeous piano, swelling strings, wind instruments, ethereal vocals ... and it all builds to the extraordinary closing song, a daring remake of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower, which, quite frankly, needs to be heard to be believed. It's like Hendrix's version crossed with U2's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me," crossed with the motifs McCreary's been developing over the three seasons of BSG, crossed with I-don't-know-what.

Not only is it a fantastic cd, but just consider what it took to make this. He has one of the coolest, and hardest, jobs in show business. McCreary is not given the luxury of following his muse wherever it may take him. He is writing for the program and must, in a limited period of time, create pieces that fit the assigned framework of the scene. Under such constraints, it's amazing he can come up with something adequate, let alone brilliant. But this is brilliant. Just as BSG has taken science fiction to a new level, so McCreary is doing to the "soundtrack" genre with this cd. It's that good.

"Bear's Best Yet", This is by far the most diverse and the most heart driving soundtrack that Bear McCreary has produced so far. There is so much energy that you can't help but fall back into the battle scenes of Battlestar. Between the beating of the tribal style war drums or the mezmorizing chordes of the electric sitar, you will be taken into your favorite episodes, full of experience. This soundtrack of course culminates with the best and most unique version of "All along the Watchtower" since Jimmy Hendrix and is essential to the emotional rollercoaster of the Season Finale. Still, you will find a track for whatever mood you are in, whether it's a restful classical style piece, or a vibrant and happy celtic folk music bit. A diverse compilation and an accomplishment for McCreary and Battlestar Galactica.

"Getting Better and Better", Wonderful Soundtrack. Much more emotionally intensive than the previous three seasons. It's a credit to the composer's growth over the past three seasons and the continuing emotionalism of the show that requires such a depth of well writen and orchestrated music. Battlestar Galactica - Season Three

"bought this for one masterful track...", At the end of season 3...the final song just did it for me: BT4's version of Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower...awesome arrangement!

Why a three? Well...the rest of the tracks are great especially that I'm a fan of the series...but i really just got this for that one song=). If you're a big BSG fan, and love driving while listening to their music...this is great purchase (i feel like I'm piloting one of the vipers...and no, i don't drive a Viper). Watch the speed limit folks. ;)

"Excellent choice!", Bear McCreary's musically versatile 3rd Season soundtrack is absolutely captivating. The percussive drum rhythms were much like those in the film "Master and Commander," harkening to a time when naval officers were "drummed to quarters." Similarly, the Celtic themes recall strong, personal military comraderie much like the "Black Hawk Down" soundtrack. A very strong soundtrack compilation in it own right, this selection is a must-have for BSG fans.
