Just a note for Canadians in this group. This doesn't look to be
available in Canada as everywhere I tried, (including HMV &
amazon.ca) did not have a listing for it. You'll have to do what I
did and order it directly through the lala website, which you'll
incure an extra $3.50 charge for shipping outside the US by the looks
of it.

20, La-La Land Records will release the Battlestar Galactica: Season
Two soundtrack, featuring more than 78 minutes of the best musical
moments from the 2nd season of the Sci-Fi Channel's critically
acclaimed, top-rated television series starring Edward James Olmos,
Mary McDonnell, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff.

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."

performances by Supernova String Quartet (on "A Promise to Return"
from The Farm), vocals by Raya Yarbrough (on "Lords of Kobol" from
Pegasus), and vocals by Bt4 (on "The Cylon Prisoner" from Pegasus).
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.

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.
