FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SEASON ONE SOUNDTRACK TO BE RELEASED BY LA-LA LAND RECORDS ON JUNE 21

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA TOUTED AS ONE OF THE TOP 10 SHOWS CURRENTLY ON TV BY TIME MAGAZINE AND TV GUIDE

(May 16, 2005- New York, NY) – Considered one of the top 10 shows currently on TV by Time Magazine and TV Guide, Battlestar Galactica is the #1 show on the Sci Fi Channel.  On June 21, La-La Land Records will release the Battlestar Galactica: [[Season 1 (2004-05)|Season One]] soundtrack, featuring more than 78 minutes of the best musical moments from season one of this highly acclaimed new series.

Battlestar Galactica: Season One contains both the US and UK main title themes as well as music composed by [[Bear McCreary]] for the series, which TV Guide declared “a breakaway hit…poised to replace ''Star Trek'' as TV’s definitive sci-fi series.”  The CD packaging features exclusive liner notes from McCreary and the show’s executive producer [[David Eick]].

Composer Bear McCreary is a classically trained composer with a degree in Composition and Recording Arts from the prestigious USC Thornton School of Music.  He has composed score for over thirty independent films, including director Jon Chu’s musical short When the Kids Are Away and the Discovery Channel miniseries The 5 Coolest Things.  McCreary was among a handful of select composers to have studied independently with the late film music legend Elmer Bernstein (The Magnificent Seven).

While some of the names may be the same, this is not your father’s Battlestar Galactica!  Captain (sic) [[William Adama|“Husker” Adama]] ([[Edward James Olmos]]) and President [[Laura Roslin]] ([[Mary McDonnell]]) lead the ''Battlestar Galactica'' crew.  They are trying to locate the fabled 13th Colony of humans, planet [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]], to join with their brethren against the [[Cylon]]s which have taken over their homeland.  The Cylons, which can [[Humanoid Cylon|look like humans]] and even be programmed to think they are, aren’t the only threat, as morale and the quantity of supplies are always an issue.  In an interesting casting choice, [[Richard Hatch]] (who played [[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]] in the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|original series]]), is cast as villain [[Tom Zarek]], a political prisoner who has spent the past 20 years in jail for his participation in the bombing of a government building.

"With its unique combination of intricate character arcs, dark ambience and gritty battle sequences, Battlestar Galactica afforded me countless opportunities for musical exploration,” said McCreary.  “Fans will immediately recognize all their favorite musical moments from the first season, including the lush orchestral works featured in the dynamic two-part season finale.  I am extremely proud of this collection and look forward to continuing this musical journey into the second season and beyond." 

The [[Season 2 (2005-06)|second season]] of ''Battlestar Galactica'' will begin airing in July on the Sci Fi Channel.  The Battlestar Galactica: Season One soundtrack will be available in stores or from [http://www.lalalandrecords.com www.lalalandrecords.com] on June 21, 2005.  The soundtrack from the [[Soundtrack (Miniseries)|Battlestar Galactica mini-series]] is also available from La-La Land Records.}}
