OH MY
Very nice find, Bishop37. Thanks for the link!

[Red Eye]

VERY interesting!

Guess I have to take a look for it...

[Bishop37]

It'd be great if it sold well enough to warrant further releases, this is planned as the first of a series.

There seems to be a good buzz about it: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/p ... &archive=0

This IS pretty awesome. I'm a completionist when it comes to soundtrack scores (can you imagine how happy I was with the release of the Start Wars complete soundtracks?) I wonder though if the little 18 second bits are going to warrant yet another purchase. I mean the Anthology is already pretty great!

I would fully imagine that there will be additional releases. Don Peake's multi volumes of Night Rider music is similar to what we have here. And even those still say that it is "Best Of"

Can't wait to get home in a few days to check it.

Thanks for the post! As you all (I'm sure) are aware, I've been doing several music remakes (overdubs with emphasis on the music) lately of the original series... I've had to spend a LOT of time making the scores from the OST's "Fit" the scenes, because they WILL NOT just "drop in"... THIS could be the answer to what I've been looking for, indeed, make it possibly "too easy" . Perhaps I was out of time by starting my endeavors, if this cd came out and is what I think it is, it would INDEED "drop in" with ease...

On all my vids I have posted here, not one has been video edited (except to add text).... they ARE cam-rips strait from the 'Cylon Head' DVD set, playing on my computer screen... I have first attempted to refit music from the OST to match the scenes and found that the timeing was off, because the OST is a REMAKE of the original screen used music and NOT the original. I then found that the music from "The Stu Phillips Antholgy" DOES indeed contain THE music that was actually used in the series... HOWEVER, it is incomplete and the timing on the tracks when the music transistions from one scene to the next is not synched with the vid. That was my bulk of work on my 'Perfected' vid of the first viper launch and battle, also the looped music at the beginning.

If this cd were to contain the ACTUAL original music used in the series timed EXACTLY to the scenes, I'd sell the shirt off my back to get it.

It's an obssesion of mine guys, really... I dream of the scenes and hear the music in perfect clarity, I wake up from dreaming about it and daydream about it allday long while at work.
And not just Galactica... but AirWolf, Knight Rider, etc, etc.

I just have a gift of 'audiophile' memory for the sounds in movies and wish to share it somehow.

Hope you guys got time for a true story here.........

I need to check into Don Peak's cd's that you menchaned, Hand-Schaub... I met him personally and shook hands with him at the 2001 "Knight Nationals". I'm a member of 'Knight Registries.com' and we used to go to the Trans-Am Nationals every year at Dayton, Oh. starting in '99 (If I remember right) and represent Knight Rider fandom there.
I talked with him at length about his scores of the show... I also innocently menchaned a cd I obtained from the 'Knight Registries' founder "Kevin Knight" (real name Kevin Gagnon) from Connecticut. He somehow obtained a copy of the original music that Peak created for an episode (not going to menchan the name because it would start a great 'flame thread' here with a quick Google search by people unfriendly to the charter of BYC.net).

-Anyway, long story 'short' (lol) Don Peake told me face to face that that music had never been released (he was in the company of an individual with whom he ventured to sell cd's of his music from the original series, who then betrayed him, took money from customers and didn't deliver [except for a FEW] and disappeared). Needless to say there were many angry people who paid money for something that they never got. The mysterious individual (who I will not name) disappeared...

This is a TRUE story... I still have the cd... I have no idea how Gagnon obtained it.
It was given to me and several others as a 'gift' by 'Kevin Knight' for attending our (Knight Registries) festival at the Trans-Am Nationals...

I was 'put off' by the whole encounter and have never checked into what happened to Don Peake's endeavor to release his music. I DO remember a huge 'flame thread' that persisted at the KnightRegistries.com website for a very long time, about the dude that 'screwed over' Mr. Peake and his customers...

Upon reading your post, Hand Schaub, me thinks I will check into it again... There is a lot of music I love from Knight Rider and would love to do some music emphasis vids on it as well...

THANKS for posting!

By the way fellow Cylons... you didn't hear ANY of this from me (Red Rider 2000 @ KnightRegistries dot com)

This is definetly whetting my appetite... "The CD includes the complete score, a full version of the Galactica theme (so popular it has performed in numerous concerts), and as an added bonus, the film version of the main title which features the theme specifically recorded for this edit and is unique only to the pilot

[Hand-Schaub]

Starbuck -if you use itunes just type in Don Peake. I presume it is all legit. I like the way "songs" turn from having names to just scene sequence numbers. I was very happy to get the music from Halloween Knight (pretty different from the rest of the series music.

Interesting story you have there too. I have always been an 'accurate completionist' too.

[Starbuck]

It is a pleasure to converse with you, I am an admirer of your posts... I do hope you watch (and LISTEN ) to the vids I menchaned... I know they're not absolutely perfect and would love to hear some critique from a fellow perfectionist!

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely check it out...

If I were to do a 'Music Emphasis' vid of a KR episode, as I have done here of BSG...
It would have to be "The Topaz Connection", namely when Loran leaves the house to see the P.I. "George Olin" and Knight follows.... and then...........

It is a tad on the pricey side compared to the original LP, and audio tape release of $5.99 when I bought my original versions. Worth the purchase of having 2 or 3 around. One to listen to, one to park, and one to sell later once out of stock.

Yikes! Just $5.99? That was 33 years ago

LOL! That's over $20 now.

[GoldCylon]

I think my point on the pricey side was that not many CD's on the market today go for $20 is all. With iTunes and other MP3 web sites .99 per track is the common price, while if a CD has say 10 songs that is only $9.99 per track if you bought it that way. Most if not all artiest give a discount if you buy the entire CD over a per track cost. So a CD would run you about $7.99 compared to $19.99 that is pricey. Just a math difference in my comment on pricey.

[Bishop37]

I think it's a case of something like this (as opposed to a Lady Gaga album) is of interest to a small amount of people, thus the price so Intrada can make some money on it and the limited amount of copies.
