FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SEASON TWO SOUNDTRACK TO BE
RELEASED BY LA-LA LAND RECORDS ON JUNE 20
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA TOUTED AS ONE OF THE TOP 10
SHOWS CURRENTLY ON TV BY TIME MAGAZINE AND TV GUIDE
(June 1, 2006- New York, NY) Considered one of
the top 10 shows currently on TV by Time Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and TV
Guide, Battlestar Galactica is the #1 show on the Sci Fi Channel. On June
20, La-La Land Records will release the Battlestar Galactica: Season Two
soundtrack, featuring more than 78 minutes of the best musical moments from the
2nd season of the Sci-Fi Channel's critically acclaimed, top-rated television
series starring Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, James Callis, Tricia Helfer
and Katee Sackhoff.
Composer Bear McCreary builds on his impressive
Season One accomplishments and once again delivers a sensational, emotionally
rich score that ingeniously melds orchestra, vocals, percussion and
synthesizer. The Season Two CD contains few tracks which are longer in
length. Says McCreary, The first one was a soundtrack. The second
one is an album.
The Battlestar Galactica: Season Two soundtrack
features performances by Supernova String Quartet (on A Promise to Return from
The Farm), vocals by Raya Yarbrough (on Lords of Kobol from Pegasus), and
vocals by Bt4 (on The Cylon Prisoner from Pegasus). Former Oingo-Boingo
members Steve Bartek, John Avila and Johnny "Vatos" Hernandez play on the track
from Black Market. And the main title theme from Battlestar Galactica,
composed by Richard Gibbs, is also on the soundtrack.
Fans of the original series will be excited to see
that the theme from the original Battlestar Galactica series, composed by Stu
Phillips, has been adapted and arranged by McCreary. The homage to the
television show that inspired this new incarnation leads off the
soundtrack.
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 Chus musical short When the Kids Are
Away and the Discovery Channel miniseries The 5 Coolest Things. McCreary
was among a handful of select protégés of late film music legend Elmer Bernstein
(THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN).
The third season of Battlestar Galactica will begin
airing in October on the Sci Fi Channel. The Battlestar Galactica: Season
Two soundtrack will be available in stores or from www.lalalandrecords.com on June 20,
2006. The soundtrack from the Battlestar Galactica mini-series and the
Season One soundtrack are both available from La-La Land Records.
