Burbank, CA - June 30, 2009– La-La Land Records will release their 100th release as a label -- the special 2-CD set, Battlestar Galactica: Season 4, on July 28, 2009. The soundtrack cracked the Top 10 at Amazon’s Best Seller list for overall music sales, topping both the TV and Movie Soundtrack Charts. The soundtrack features music from Seasons 4 and 4.5 with one disc dedicated to the music from “Daybreak” the stunning series finale. La-La Land Records is releasing the Battlestar Galactica: Season 4 soundtrack through a license agreement with NBC Universal Television, DVD, Music and Consumer Products Group.

The music from Battlestar Galactica became an integral part of the series, interwoven into plotlines and even performed by cast members, like the track “Gaeta’s Lament”, sung by Alessandro Juliani (Felix Gaeta) or “Dreilide Thrace Sonata No. 1” which was a key plot point in the episode “Someone to Watch Over Me”.

Battlestar Galactica: Season 4 will be available in stores nationwide and online on www.lalalandrecords.com, www.nbcuniversalstore.com, and www.amazon.com. The two-CD soundtrack will feature music from seasons 4.0 and 4.5 and the music from “Daybreak,” the series finale. The CD booklet features 20 pages of pictures and extensive liner notes, including 8 pages of notes from the cast and crew talking about the music and composer Bear McCreary, who Jamie Bamber (Lee ‘Apollo’ Adama) calls ‘the 13th Cylon” and Mary McDonnell (Laura Roslin) said “Bear understands character and plot and action as musical poetry and we were blessed to have him.”

Season 4 composer McCreary was recently called one of the top 10 composers “that make space adventures epic” by www.io9.com. His work on the television series Battlestar Galactica has been described as offering “some of the most innovative music on TV today,” by Variety, and his blog www.bearmccreary.com/blog, which features in-depth inside looks at the process of scoring Battlestar Galactica, was called "one of the best blogs in the business. It's a fascinating look at the process of making music for film and television and the care he takes with aligning the score with the twists and turns of each character's plot lines," by The Hollywood Reporter.

McCreary’s feature film credits include Wrong Turn 2 and the Rest Stop films. He also scores the series Eureka, the upcoming SyFy series, and Battlestar Galactica prequel, Caprica, the Capcom video game Dark Void, the upcoming series Human Target and Trauma and Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. McCreary was among a handful of select protégés of late film music legend Elmer Bernstein and is a classically trained composer with degrees in Composition and Recording Arts from the prestigious USC Thornton School of Music.

Also available from La-La Land Records are McCreary’s soundtracks for Battlestar Galactica Seasons 1, 2, and 3, Caprica, Eureka, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Wrong Turn 2 and the Rest Stop films.
