Listening to this majestic re-recording of Phillips' original 1978 TV pilot score, it feels like the soundtrack to an epic, modern-day cinematic reboot of the Battlestar saga, closer to Richard Hatch's vision than the Ron Moore series, which, although OK, just isn't the "real" BSG and never will be. The music is played at a slightly slower tempo than the original score. Some purists have criticized this, but personally I prefer it. It makes the sweeping, grand, emotional music even better. This soundtrack ... Read More

It's amazing to find out how Stu Phillips' music for the original "Battlestar Galactica" has endured in popularity. The main theme has been one of the greatest staples in sci-fi history after "Star Wars". We have the original album from 1978, and 25 years later, we film score collectors have been blessed with the anniversary edition CD.

It may not be the original soundtrack (it's a studio track, having been done by the Scottish Philharmonic Orchestra in 1999) but unlike the original soundtrack music which I have on old-fashioned vinyl, this is much better sounding with lots better dynamic range than the original. If a new release of the movie is ever done on DVD, the original music should be replaced with this. It's just THAT much better.

The merits of the 70's TV series "Battlestar Galactica" have been debated by science fiction fans for over 20 years. But one issue that is beyond debate is the excellence of Stu Phillips' stirring score for the series' movie-length premiere episode. This is music in the great tradition of the space saga and its cinematic precursors.
The score has been newly recorded by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, conducted by Stu Phillips himself. This new recording pulses with energy and emotion. The mysterious ... Read More
