It’s too bad you got Greg C. Walsh on Shamisen. Greg is a horrible Shamisen hack who can’t even tune his Shamisen properly. My family and I heard Greg Walsh playing Shamisen in little Tokyo and we all felt sick to our stomachs and not one of us could eat lunch that day. We are angry at this American who is making a fool of the great tradition of Tsugaru Jamisen. Because his style is so weak and watered down. All of us are praying that Greg C. Walsh will stop playing Shamisen because it hurts our ears and hearts to hear such a bad example of great music. Please listen to real Shamisen Masters. The tone is rich and deep and powerful. Greg is like a tinkling out of tune broken and rusted tin can. We noticed he smelled bad too.

I love the way the score was applied to this episode! Good job.

Also, I must say that when Lament comes in as Gaita says “specialist Gage, stay with us” was really effective (not only for the tone and mood, but also his character…how his intensions have turned so dark). It’s probably my favorite queue here.

“I hope all the fans are appreciating how much I’m using this theme this season! :)”

Immensely! It remains number 1 pick for most beautiful piece of music ever.

Keep up the great work, Bear!

Bear,

If you’re still thinking about linking some audible music files for us, I’m trying something along those lines on my blog now.

http://normdoering.blogspot.com/2009/02/testing-1-2-3-testing.html

What I did was to upload a couple .wav files (just some quickly cooked up scifi synth sounds) onto a site called:

http://www.box.net

Then I get the share link from the box.net site and I made it clickable. You should be able to access my file of .wavs by clicking the words “click here” in the post.

It worked when I tested it… But some feedback from anyone here on whether it works for anyone else would be appreciated. You will need your own .wav file player.

Hey Bear, this is Sotiris from Split Infinity Radio. Just dropping by to pay my due respects to your season 4 composition feats =) Awesome music.. as always =)

I secretly wish that the next episodes’ scores feature more “Black Market”-ish sounds, but I’m just a sucker for prog. =)

I am torn between impatience for next Fri to roll around (hurry up!) and for not wanting the series to end! Every episode contributes something vital towards the inevitable ending, and the music is in keeping with all the excitement, anxiety, sentiment, and just a roller coaster of emotion, what a thrill to come here and read so much more of what is going into these scores.

Thanks again, Bear!

Let me add my vote for the CD-Box Set with printed blog posts, I will definitely buy that! As a matter of fact Amazon just shipped me the Season 1-3 cds and they are awesome! The “Battlestar Muzaktica” cue has me cracking up, Barry Manilow is a Cylon!

Zarek's theme kind of sounded ethereal to me, as did the CIC sequence. I wonder if the lower mixing levels were done so that we (the viewers) could connect on a subconscious level?

“I’m pretty sure that the Starbuck Theme is playing there, not the Lee & Kara Love Theme, which is actually different. I used the Starbuck Theme because it goes back to Season 1 and in my ways, this episode saw the return of “Season 1 Kara.” That theme seemed the most appropriate.”
————————
I agree, it was definitely appropriate. Good choice. I still need to go back and listen, because I didn’t hear anything, but like I said, I have some trouble with my hearing.

Thanks for answering my question, I can’t wait for the CD to come out!
