Blagh, as usual, R4 dvds have no real special features..
Oh well, there’s youtube.

PS: That link to the YOUTUBE version was not meant to be an endorsement of the fact that it’s been pirated. Most of my work has been pirated at one point or another, which doesn’t thrill me. :)

Still, in this case, those of you who can’t watch the North American region DVDs can finally check it out.

I’ve seen the documentary. (thanks to youtube) It was rather funny I must say, especially Michael Hogan’s “sound effects” crack me up. I liked the little (not so subtle) reference to the end of Lay Down Your Burdens pt. 2 too.
I’d love to see that serious documentary though once it’s completed. That will be quite interesting.

On a completely different subject: Are there, at this time, any plans to release some further sheet music (apart from Battlestar Sonatica that is) in the future? it’d be great to just follow the notes of the different instruments while listening to Violence & Variations for example.

Marc…

Thanks for the reminder. The “other songs” post just went up.

daveCFPrez…

So many people have sent me this link to AintItCool where some fanboys are wishing I would score T4, that I figure I should at least post it here:

And while I’m linking over to AICN, they’re giving away 5 signed SCC CDs:

Jangoisbaddest… “This is not meant to be a gripe or anything, just a question: are you planning on a “serious” behind the music documentary at some point?”

Point (not gripe) taken. Yes, Matthew and I have been collaborating on a serious documentary on the BG score for about a year now. With any luck, it’ll get released this year. To be honest with you, it won’t be as entertaining as the funny one, but will be more enlightening.

Hello everyone and hello Bear. I haven’t had the chance to check out the new season 4 dvd but I’m REALLY glad that you’re putting this other dvd with it so we can see who else helps out with this AMAZING FRAK’IN music. I’m hoping the season 4 soundtrack is released soon too. This music is just totally awesome, I don’t know how you do it, or where you come up with so many ideas. My thanks to your staff for your incredible efforts. I hope to see all of you perform in the Baltimore / Washington DC area sometime.

in addition.. I’m hijacking the thread here a little so please forgive all..Bear, I emailed you the other day about “other songs” and you said to check the blog in a few days..how is that part going so far ? I emailed you on the 7th.

So Say We All,

Marc

Hi Bear,

I just bought the Terminator: TSCC today and it’s really, really amazing piece of music. I remember one day watching the show, I was thinking how you could capture precisely the dynamics and beats of the original terminator themes and reinvent them into new and exciting direction. I could also hear some cues, very similar to BSG, that blend perfectly with the rest of the score. The last 1 minute and 20 seconds of track 12 – “Prisoners of War” is just explosive.

Keep up the good work and continue to amaze and excite us with your music.

Meh, I gave up on Terminator movies after 3. 1 and 2 were great. 3…let’s just say ingrown toenails are anticipated with greater joy.

Unless it’s made by the people who make TSCC, I’m going to have to stay home and Windex the driveway gravel that night.

Well I just found out that Danny Elfman will score the new Terminator film.

*sigh*

I love Elfman’s stuff (first Batman movie FTW!) but was hoping that a certain person around here would get a shot at it.
