Customer Reviews

Minimalistic Beauty
There is no question, this IS the Galactica universe. The score is written mainly in minor and it is a more serious and quiet score but there are tracks like "Cybernetic Life Form Node" which uses again percussive elements with finesse and elegance. The score itself has a much more Philip Glass-like quality. Something which we have heard already in the BSG scores but not to such an extend. This score is massive on strings and uses percussive elements sparingly. This is the BSG universe there is no doubt but the score reminds me more more of "The Hours" (which was written by Philip Glass. Big surprise) and what was said about the score holds in a way also true to this score. Some will find it remarkably insightful, others mildly interesting, and some abysmally dull. The score often revels in its structure and it feels more like poetry formed around music. If you are a fan of minimalists like Philip Glass or Michael Nyman then I can recommend this score warmly =)

Recommended Tracks: Amanda Graystone, Joseph And Daniel, The Adama Name (the Adama marching band starts marching - the track makes me rather teary eyed), Zoe Awakens (great percussive track) and the End Credits

Excellent Score
This is an excellent score. It carries over just enough of the BSG music to let you know it's in the same family, but reinvents it for the different time era, and introduces good, new music for the new characters and family.

Caprica is another hit for Bear
I've loved Bear's work since discovering it with Battlestar Galactica. His work on Caprica is just as good with a familiar theme. Looking forward to more.
