BATTLESTAR
GALACTICA: SEASON ONE SOUNDTRACK TO BE RELEASED
BY LA-LA LAND RECORDS
ON JUNE 21
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA TOUTED AS ONE OF
THE TOP 10 SHOWS CURRENTLY ON TV BY TIME
MAGAZINE AND TV GUIDE
(May 16, 2005- New York, NY) - Considered one
of the top 10 shows currently on TV by Time Magazine
and TV Guide, Battlestar Galactica is the #1 show
on the Sci Fi Channel. On June 21, La-La Land
Records will release the Battlestar Galactica:
Season One soundtrack, featuring more than 78
minutes of the best musical moments from season
one of this highly acclaimed new series.
Battlestar Galactica: Season One contains both
the US and UK main title themes as well as music
composed by Bear McCreary for the series, which
TV Guide declared "a breakaway hit.poised
to replace Star Trek as TV's definitive sci-fi
series." The CD packaging features exclusive
liner notes from McCreary and the show's executive
producer David Eick.
Composer Bear McCreary is a classically trained
composer with a degree in Composition and Recording
Arts from the prestigious USC Thornton School
of Music. He has composed score for over thirty
independent films, including director Jon Chu's
musical short When the Kids Are Away and the Discovery
Channel miniseries The 5 Coolest Things. McCreary
was among a handful of select composers to have
studied independently with the late film music
legend Elmer Bernstein (The Magnificent Seven).
While some of the names may be the same, this
is not your father's Battlestar Galactica! Captain
"Husker" Adama (Edward James Olmos)
and President Larua Roslin (Mary McDonnell) lead
the Battlestar Galactica crew. They are trying
to locate the fabled 13th Colony of humans, planet
Earth, to join with their brethren against the
Cylons which have taken over their homeland. The
Cylons, which can look like humans and even be
programmed to think they are, aren't the only
threat, as morale and the quantity of supplies
are always an issue. In an interesting casting
choice, Richard Hatch (who played Captain Apollo
in the original series), is cast as villain Tom
Zarek, a political prisoner who has spent the
past 20 years in jail for his participation in
the bombing of a government building.
"With its unique combination of intricate
character arcs, dark ambience and gritty battle
sequences, Battlestar Galactica afforded me countless
opportunities for musical exploration," said
McCreary. "Fans will immediately recognize
all their favorite musical moments from the first
season, including the lush orchestral works featured
in the dynamic two-part season finale. I am extremely
proud of this collection and look forward to continuing
this musical journey into the second season and
beyond."
The second season of Battlestar Galactica will
begin airing in July on the Sci Fi Channel. The
Battlestar Galactica: Season One soundtrack will
be available in stores or from www.lalalandrecords.com
on June 21, 2005. The soundtrack from the Battlestar
Galactica mini-series is also available from La-La
Land Records.
