Thanks for the link to the blog entry, question answered... I guess.

And if you don't like the order, that's what ripping and re ordering is for.

Dkfz's comment made me think, I just see a lot of people on these film music boards seem to have issues with the way CDs are produced. "Are they in proper order?" "Why doesn't this stuff bleed together?" etc etc.

And I say to that, stop being dumb. Rip it, mix it, move it, whatever, you can make it your way and be done with it. People need to stop bitching about "Why did they do this?' "How come they didn't do that?" Well, complainer, you didn't produce the CD, be happy you even got a release. It's all about the music. Period.

Heck, I move things around with my stuff, sure. But you'll never hear me being ungrateful for a release.

People that say "Oh, it's awesome! I don't have an issue with it. But..." No. If you say that, you've got an issue. Fix it yourself on your own copy as a CD-R or digitally. It's easy these days.

But above all, just stop bitching. How do you think the labels feel when such small market like ours seems ungrateful? I'd be annoyed.

We owe these guys respect and thanks.

PS: An album is supposed to be a listening experience. Jerry Goldsmith was always particular about his albums because he wanted them to take you on a journey that he crafted for something outside the film. If you want the film experience, watch the film.

As for Bear's new "BSG" CD, as I said above, I'll let him take me on that journey. He wrote the music, I think he'd know best for a CD presentation. Not to mention he's never left me down on his other "BSG" CDs.

Thanks for the thoughts and same views. I'll be running for office later

And Michael, you're right. Bear also listens to what fans want (via his awesome blog) and does his best to make sure that a piece of music or certain performance makes it on the album. He's a class act of new composers these days, and one of my favorites.

I wasn't bitching or complaining. I asked a question and stated my preference. If anyone has "issues" I think it's you clowns who are so eager to jump all over someone for asking a fracking question!

As for iTunes: I don't have it and won't be installing it on my computer... ever.

Because I have an older computer and my OS is incompatible with iTunes. Now you can jump all over me for that reason. Have fun tearing me a new one.

For example: What is wrong with that crazy Bear dude . He's always mixing up his tracks like a drunken sailor . Why can't he just be like a movie composer and arrange stuff in a more logical way?

(for now, until something new is released)

It's nice to see a label like LaLa really be on the ball with this stuff. Shows like "Lost" have been much slower in their releases. And then shows like say "Smallville" have nothing. It's awesome that we've got all this great BSG music. I'm also very glad LaLa's doing "The X-Files" set that hits this summer. I'm very excited for that! A long time coming!

My CD should arrive tomorrow!

I am however dissapointed with the last "live" track.

I think a better selection would have been "Apocalypse" with the voice over of the First Hybrid as the Cylon Basestar attack the colonies of man.

"Counting down. All functions nominal. All functions optimal. Counting down. The center holds. The falcon hears the falconer. Infrastructure, check. Wetware, check. Everyone hang on to the life bar, please.

Apotheosis was the beginning before the beginning. Devices on alert. Observe the procedures of a general alert. The base and the pinnacle. The flower inside the fruit that is both its parent and its child. Decadent as ancestors. The portal and that which passes.

Nuclear devices activated, and the machine keeps pushing time through the cogs, like paste into strings into paste again, and only the machine keeps using time to make time to make time.

And when the machine stops, time was an illusion that we created free will. Twelve battles, three stars, and yet we are countless as the bodies in which we dwell, are both parent and infinite children in perfect copies. No degradation.

The makers of the makers fall before the child. Accessing defense system. Handshake, handshake. Second level clear.

Accepting scan. Love outlasts death.

Their ships fail. Skittering like skipped stones. Meaningless in the absence of time.

Progress reports arriving. The farms of Aerolon are burning. The beaches of Canceron are burning. The plains of Leonis are burning. The jungles of Scorpia are burning. The pastures of Tauron are burning. The harbors of Picon are burning. The cities of Caprica are burning. The oceans of Aquaria are burning. The courthouses of Libran are burning. The forests of Virgon are burning...........

Just personally, but I would have hated having voice-over on that track. In fact, I generally hate voice tracks on score albums. For me it detracts from the listening experience.

But like I said, that's my opinion. Mileage varies.

Remember "Hannibal?"
