Reddit mentions: The best tv soundtracks

I'd recommend buying the soundtracks. I listen to them all the time while I'm writing.

SPOILERS BELOW IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE ENTIRE SERIES



Miniseries

Richard Gibbs is the primary on this one and Bear McCreary assists. The twinkling bells of Six's theme may seem repetitious at first, but the seeds of BSG's sounds can be found here.

Season One

Great stuff, without question. "Passacaglia" and "Shape of Things to Come" are truly beautiful.

Season Two

Thanks to the arrival of Pegasus and the attack on the Resurrection Ship, the action drums of this album are fantastic.

Philip Glass' "Metamorphosis One"

Thanks to Starbuck's dad, I had to buy this. A truly great piece. Without it, my Season Two sounds empty.

Razor/The Plan

Since these are both Season Two based movies, I placed the tracks here. "Apocalypse" kicks ass.

As far as watching The Plan (I'm assuming you already saw Razor), I would suggest waiting until you watch the series for a second time. Pop it in right after the scene in "Lay Down Your Burdens" wherein in Roslin passes sentence on the duplicate Cylons in the brig.

Season Three

The lead up to "Watchtower" is magnificent and I always crank the volume for the New Caprica action sequences.

Season Four

With "Watchtower" fully revealed, it gets used to great lengths. Includes the full, haunting version of Gaeta's song. Plus, "Kara Remembers" floors me every time and the full orchestral sounds of "Daybreak" are worth rattling the speakers.

Jimi Hendrix - "All Along the Watchtower"

Of course, I have to cap off the BSG experience with Hendrix's version. I mean, c'mon.

Caprica pilot

Lastly, for completeness' sake, I have this one in the playlist, too. I only hope they can release the rest of Bear's great work on this show in the future.

As for watching Caprica, I do recommend it. It starts slow, no question, but it picks up in the last six or so episodes and by the end, you'll be cursing SyFy's name (yet again) for not giving the show another season.

Now if only they'd release a Blu-ray of the series ...

Agreed - I was intrigued when I saw that Slashfilm's podcast did a recent episode listening to the score, which was apparently released a month ago:

Breaking Bad: Original Score From The Television Series

The weird thing was that I was eager to listen to that podcast, but after I had cranked it up I lost interest and turned it off. Despite the music matching the scenes so well, without the scenes the music couldn't hold my attention at all. Love the score on the show, though.

There's one more out there that not many know of because it was released only a couple years ago. It's purely instrumental (no voice over cuts like in the other two albums listed) and the whole volume is absolutely fantastic...

The X-Files Expanded Edition: Volume 1

Some highlights from this include House Organ - Irrational Fear (ep: The Ghosts Who Stole Christmas), Five Cards (ep: The Goldberg Variation), Scully's Serenade (ep: Within) and The Tip (ep: Release)

There are plans for a Volume 2 which would complete this collection (volume one contains highlights from all the seasons) but there isn't anything concrete on when that'll be released. My hope is some of those awesome lesser tracks (like that oboe piece from The End) will be included! /fingerscrossed

Here's where I got it but it's not in stock anymore: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0048JSHKO/

There have been a couple represses though including one from 2013 so you may be able to find it somewhere. I know there are some used copies for sale for around what I paid for this on discogs. Good Luck!

Best I could find after a brief search was amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Black-Sails-Starz-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B00HWF58EO?keywords=black+sails+soundtrack&qid=1536980604&refinements=p_n_binding_browse-bin%3A387645011&rnid=387643011&s=Music&sr=1-1&ref=mp_s_a_1_1

I've recently been getting into music and I love it.

This album would be great.
If it's a bit too expensive, my wishlist is full of albums with copies that go for less than $10 used, some for less than $10 new as well.

If you couldn't tell, I like vinyl :) It just sounds so much better. I also like the actual record and packaging more than a cd.

Right now, I really like Animal Collective.
Non-current would be Nujabes.
I don't really have a favourite genre, but I guess I listen to a lot of Alt-Rock and Hip Hop.

"Overly rocking out to slow music is distracting"

This just appeared on Amazon. It looks like we'll be waiting until October 30th.

A favorite of mine is The Civil War: Its Music and Its Sounds. Features the stellar Eastman School of Music Wind Ensemble conducted by Frederick Fennell. Includes bugle calls and descriptive narratives. Outstanding performances. I use a few bars of their Gary Owen as my ringtone.

You can find it on amazon!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y97F18T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_n-MODbN8TKE5W

Date has been changed on the Amazon page. Now its 30th November 2018.

https://www.amazon.com/Arrow-Season-6-Blake-Neely/dp/B07H62Q4CW

It's also availiable as a physical CD on [Amazon!] (http://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Bad-Original-Score-Television/dp/B0091YYMBY/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1346152187&sr=1-1&keywords=dave+porter+breaking+bad)

Community OST. I believe it only has songs from the first season.
