Battlestar Galactica: Season 3 (CD, Oct-2007, La-La Land Records)

If you haven’t had a chance to pick up any of the newer Battlestar Galactica (BSG) CDs from the 2003-current SciFi series TV show, you are definitely missing out! ALL of these CDs have been *amazing* (there are 4 out now, the 2003 mini-series, and one for Seasons One, Two, and Three respectively). Richard Gibbs composed the very first music/CD, and after that Bear McCreary has composed the rest. Bear’s music is nothing short of amazing! This CD definitely speaks to that, taking his BSG compositions to a whole new level! Listening to this music takes you right back to watching the episodes!! The tracks are intense and mesmerizing, skillfully blending in a rich balance of violin, guitars, horns, percussion, and even vocals at times! (the added touch of having the vocals in Armenian is superb!). If that isn’t good enough, this CD ends right where Season Three left off - with the chilling rendition of Bob Dylan’s ‘All Along the Watchtower’ from Crossroads, Part II (where Starbuck comes back from the void!!). It’s an amazing CD to listen to over and over again!
