INTRADA Announces: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - VOLUME 3 Composed and Conducted by STU PHILLIPS INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 210 When last we encountered the valiant crew of the Battlestar Galactica, they were plumbing the mysterious depths of space in search of the birthplace of humanity and battling through perils of snow and ice to defeat a terrible Cylon superweapon—all to the exhilarating and evocative music of maestro Stu Phillips. Epic tales and sweeping scores of this kind stood proudly at the heart of creator Glen A. Larson’s vision for the interstellar saga that was Battlestar Galactica. The demands of producing a lavishly budgeted weekly series, however, required that such multi-episode arcs not stand alone, and so Larson and his team were obliged to rapidly script and shoot a secondary slate of episodes that would be relatively self-contained and come with a more modest price tag, making the most of existing sets and costumes. This third volume of music from Battlestar Galactica is dedicated to those single-episode tales that received new music (many episodes were tracked with existing music), as well as a bonus score from the short-lived spinoff Galactica 1980. Featured on this CD are the episodes "The Long Patrol," "The Lost Warrior," "The Magnificent Warriors," "The Young Lords," "Murder on the Rising Star," "Take the Celestra," "The Hand of God," and "The Return of Starbuck." While stereo recordings for the original pilot movie were presented on Volume 1, music elements retained for episodes of the television series have not emerged with any consistency. Initial reconnaissance suggested that some stereo sources existed, but these turned out to be “split-mono” material...a configuration unique to the era in which Galactica had been produced. “Split mono” is defined as having strings on one channel, winds and brass on another, percussion on a third, for example. Such elements do not yield a true stereo “orchestral spread,” but the separate tracks can be manipulated so that a stereo “field” can be retained for a more full-bodied presence. The scores on disc 2 of the enclosed set (all complete) were created from these split-mono elements, while those on disc 1 came from mono sources (sadly, incomplete). But what is presented for these episodes is everything discovered after years of research. One unshakeable constant in Battlestar Galactica is the quality of Phillips’ underscore. Tales of every scope and genre benefited from his dynamic themes and high standards of musicianship. Larson had learned, over the course of a partnership spanning many years and numerous projects, that when all else failed (as it occasionally did) Phillips could be relied upon to give a shot of rousing energy to the proceedings.

Return of Starbuck was indeed one of the best episodes by far - really funny too. Have been waiting for this for soooo long. I love Stu Phillips music, I hoping that we get to see an expanded Knight Rider and Buck Rogers at some point. I'm also VERY impressed with the cover artwork for Vol 3. I was expecting a standard Galactica image or photoshopped montage but this looks like a bespoke illustration as I've never seen it before - was it commissioned especially for this release and who is the artist? It's excellent! Can't wait to get my copies! One for listening and one back up just in case! Thanks Intrada! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The artist is , who also did that marvelous for the FSM print mag many years ago! for a better look at the new BSG artwork, sans text.[/quote] Well, I think it's amazing that Intrada have gone beyond what's expected and provided us with a stunning piece of album artwork. It's so rare these days to see a really great piece of artwork commissioned, this now raises the bar for the final Volume! I was not aware of the artist but now that I am I'm a fan - he did a really great job on this. Well done to everyone involved in the production of the CD, can't wait to hear and see it! |
