Product Description
Bear McCreary's Battlestar Galactica music lives on with this all-new, premiere release of his exceptional scores to the Galactica feature-length TV events The Plan and Razor. Both of these television films, based on the hit series, play a crucial role in fleshing out the key backstory in this now-classic, dramatic sci-fi saga. Composer Bear McCreary relishes the creative challenges both films present, expanding his riveting Galactica musical arsenal in new and exciting directions. This special soundtrack presentation features the scores to 2009's sensational The Plan, directed by Edward James Olmos, and 2007's acclaimed Razor, both of which are available now on DVD in stores everywhere. The Plan airs on SyFy Channel in January 2010.

Thematic, Melodic & Captivating. McCreary's Rock Infused Scores Soar High March 9, 2010
Kaya Savas (Bethesda, MD USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm going to be straight forward and honest here. I've never watched Battlestar Galactica. The only times I tune into the SyFy Channel are to watch terrible made for TV movies like Sharks In Venice starring Stephen Baldwin. Anyway, I have heard nothing but praise for Bear McCreary's work on the series. Granted, taking a look at his filmography probably won't impress you and the films he's done aren't gonna do more in the impressions department, but let me tell you right now that this is some great stuff.
The score is a combination of two separate Battlestar Galactica "events". The Plan is more or less a 2-hour movie that aired after the completion of the series. Razor can also be considered a stand alone film (it aired between seasons). For thematic and cohesive purposes McCreary decided to combine the two scores for this unified release. I almost didn't believe what I was hearing when the first track started. "This is music from Battlestar Galactica?" is pretty much what I said aloud. I rarely dabble in TV scores because they usually lose focus over the span of seasons and most of the score is filler. LOST is one exception to this. I found the second exception. Every track here is genuine storytelling. Thematic and melodic material carries you on an amazing journey. The music stands on its own in an immense way. It's a rock infused percussion propelled soundscape with ethnic flavors that creates an immersive atmosphere.
This was my first Bear McCreary experience and I'm hooked. I know I'm probably missing the big picture here since I haven't looked at the other seasons' scores, but I love what I hear here. My initial impressions of Battlestar Galactica have changed. Never would I have imagined to find such grand and emotionally driven arcs in a score to a series for the SyFy Channel. Listen to the first track and I guarantee you'll want to continue. If you're a fan of modern scoring you will love it. I can't speak for purists or traditionalists because they are stubborn and think anything that isn't a 70 piece orchestra is bad. If you're a Battlestar Galactica or Bear McCreary fan then I'm sure you know how great this is. If you are not fans of either then jump in and take a listen.
More Bear goodness April 17, 2010

I've been a fan of Bear McCreary's work for a long time and even seen him in concert. His various soundtracks for Battlestar Galactica have shown an incredible range. This soundtrack covers two of the BSG movies, so he is not drawing from as much work. Still, it's a very enjoyable album. Of course, the main theme, "Apocalypse" gets the most play. It's actually based on the opening riff from Bear's version of "All Along the Watchtower" and it works really well. If you've enjoyed his previous work, you won't be disappointed.
An Excellent selection from Bear McCreary !!! February 24, 2010

Although not as fantastic as the Season 3 and 4 CDs, this is still an excellent listening experience.
Slightly lower key than the previous seasons, with Apocalypse being a great revision of the main title theme.
Awesome -- more great Bear for fans to enjoy March 30, 2010
K. Dell (Greensboro, NC)
Bear McCreary said that songs on this album are a tribute to the fans as a way to end the series. This album truly represents just that. While there's not much here that you haven't heard before throughout the series ("Apocalypse" being the welcome and surprising exception), McCreary somehow manages to take everything you've heard before to the next level. In short, enjoying this music is bitter sweet in that it is simply delightful in spite of the fact that these may be the last notes by McCreary for a series that is no more.
Another Masterpiece! April 1, 2010
James Listug (Stoughton, WI USA)
Bear McCreary shows he is once again a master of modern orchestra music. Glad that the music from both of these BSG movie soundtracks were not relegated to a dusty shelf. If you relish listening to this music while you work, drive or sit at home and read, this soundtrack will add to hours of enjoyment. He even managed to include a live track from one of the Battlestar Galactica concerts last year, featuring Raya Yarbrough (soon to be Mrs. Bear McCreary) and her lovely voice. Bravo, Bear, on another great one!!
