If you’re a fan of Battlestar Galactica and you are interested in the music that goes into the show, you really MUST read Bear McCreary’s blog post, which explains how and why he wrote the music for the mid-season finale, “Revelations.”
The guy’s a genius. The lyrics that he wrote (which are sung by a choir in Samoan and Latin) gave me goosebumps. And it’s humbling to hear that people as brilliant as Mr. McCreary still worry about how the hell they’re going to top themselves.
SPOILERS for the episode are included! You have been warned!
I wish we could buy this soundtrack right NOW.
Anyone who loved the music on this week’s episode of Battlestar Galactica should definitely read Bear McCreary’s post about scoring the music and Gaeta’s song. Spoilers, obviously! This man never fails to blow my mind!
He also mentions a much later episode in the season and I have to admit, he has me intrigued!
And a quick site update: Real life has been kicking me in the ass lately; I’ve been much busier than usual with work and obligations outside the realm of the interwebs. I won’t have a recap of the Locke episode “Cabin Fever” for you, but I do plan on recapping “There’s No Place Like Home.” Whether or not I recap that episode in two installments or just one big one depends on how much free time I’ve got.
Once things calm down for me I also plan on writing more features for the site, like weekly lists, reviews, and whatever else I can dream up. So keep a look out!
