From the start of Battlestar Galactica, it was stated that the music was going to not conform to the “usual” style of typical science fiction scores. Creating an original style with drums and musical instruments I never knew existed, making this show truly the best on television.
Without the works of Bear McCreary, I am not sure that this show would be even remotely as great as it is. He continues to push himself to create new themes and makes each and every piece fitting for its own soundtrack. His latest masterpiece was on Friday night on the latest episode called “Revelations.” The whole episode was great as is, but I have never heard such varying musical themes blend so well together. Not to mention the music near the end of the episode, bade me really feel for what was going on, emotionally. Well done.
