During the first season, the UK airings of Battlestar Galactica used a different title music than the USA airings. [[Ron Moore]] and the production team always favored the UK music, but Scifi Channel executives thought it would not be popular and pressured the BSG production team to use a reworked version of the Season 1 musical track "Two Funerals" as the USA title music in Season 1. However, by Season 2 Moore was able to make his preferred "UK version" of the title music the track that aired in the USA broadcast. Many fans are divided over which they prefer. | During the first season, the UK airings of Battlestar Galactica used a different title music than the USA airings.

Composer Bear McCreary builds on his impressive Season One accomplishments and once again delivers a sensational, emotionally rich score that ingeniously melds orchestra, vocals, percussion and synthesizer. The Season Two CD contains few tracks which are longer in length. Says McCreary, "The first one was a soundtrack. The second one is an album." | Composer Bear McCreary builds on his impressive Season One accomplishments and once again delivers a sensational, emotionally rich score that ingeniously melds orchestra, vocals, percussion and synthesizer.

Former Oingo-Boingo members Steve Bartek, John Avila and Johnny "Vatos" Hernandez play on the track from "[[Black Market]]". And the main title theme from ''Battlestar Galactica'', composed by [[Richard Gibbs]], is also on the soundtrack. | ||
Fans of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] will be excited to see that the theme from the original ''Battlestar Galactica'' series, composed by [[Stu Phillips]], has been adapted and arranged by McCreary. The homage to the television show that inspired this new incarnation leads off the soundtrack. | Fans of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] will be excited to see that the theme from the original ''Battlestar Galactica'' series, composed by [[Stu Phillips]], has been adapted and arranged by McCreary.
