Greetings! ScoreKeeper here shouting loudly from under a massive mountain of music for encouraging souls willing to help dig me out. The past few weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind as labels are scrambling to give away product to all you awesome Ain’t It Cool readers. Silly me for volunteering to assist them in their insanity.

Time to get these frakkin’ CDs out of here!

For starters, I’ve got an awesome pair of soundtracks that are looking for new owners to love and cherish them until the uprising Cylon army obliterates nearly all of mankind in a giant nuclear holocaust. That’s at least a few weeks off so there’s still some time to soak up the majesty of these marvelous scores.

I have in my possession five copies of the CD soundtrack for CAPRICA (2009) autographed by composer Bear McCreary. In addition, I also have an equal number of the double-disc soundtrack to BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SEASON 4 (2004-2009) featuring selections from the fourth and final season as well as the complete score for the series finale entitled “Daybreak” all composed by Bear McCreary.

The CAPRICA score is a rather welcome and wonderful companion to McCreary’s previous work in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA series. As Bear mentions in the liner notes, the score for CAPRICA is almost the “polar opposite” to that of his work in the BSG series. Where his scores for BSG were rhythmically propelled utilizing ethnic instruments from all over the world, his score for CAPRICA is streamlined using mostly woodwinds and strings. Utilizing a less rhythmic and more harmonic and melodic approach, McCreary’s music for CAPRICA is exactly what one would envision the world of Caprica be bathed in. It’s opulent, elegant, and born of the utopian society Caprica strove to become.

The BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SEASON 4 two-disc soundtrack is another fantastic addition to the three seasons of music previously released. The inclusion of the complete score for the series finale entitled “Daybreak,” is an especially rewarding treat.

Both discs were released by La-La Land Records and are currently available.

For this contest I will select five winners who will receive both the autographed copy of CAPRICA and the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SEASON 4 soundtrack CDs.
