Hey Bear, I just wanted to let you know how killer the Defiance soundtrack is turning out. I don't say that likely because while I appreciate all the music you do I never thought I have it better than I did with BstarG. But much like all your soundtrack work your music is the missing actor in every scene that just wouldn't be the same without it. So keep up the great work.

P.S. When the heavy line from the main title theme kicked in at the end of the Pilot all I could do was throw my hands up in the air because you nailed it again with your work.

I'm pretty interested but I haven't bought it yet, partially because I'm short on money and I'm saving for (among other things) a Caprica/B&C purchase, and partially because I'm not sure what will ultimately be released for Defiance and what will be the best way to buy it. For example, if there was a combined game-TV soundtrack physical CD release, I'd hold out for that.

Niiiice!

Bear on facebook:
Hey guys! I'm very excited that my second "Defiance" album comes out on Monday. This one includes score and original songs from the TV series, including some killer pieces by Young Beautiful in a Hurry and Raya Yarbrough. This is one of the coolest records I've ever done. Can't wait to share it with you all!

Now, all I need is a PHYSICAL CD

EDIT: Update, Bear on Facebook: "Physical CD forecast is looking good for later this year "

Hi !
I've just bought the Defiance TV soundtrack album ! I have just heard some tracks, but it looks very good ! I must admit I haven't watched at all the series (I'll maybe do that during my holidays - it's the same with Da Vinci's Demons [great soundtrack !])...
I'm glad Sparks & Shadows is working and I hope it will be supported by many. It's a great thing to be directly able to support in this adventure talented artists as Bear, Brendan and all Young Beautiful in a Hurry, and of course Raya and her incredible voice.

Given that Bear is going to sign "Defiance"-Cds on December 7th, I'm guessing the album will be out before this date.

Does anyone know if Lalaland is going to sell this album?


Wish granted

Nothing about it on their Facebook page. Sparks and Shadows doesn't have anything on the physical album. Guess this store beat everyone to the punch putting out news of this release.

Hopefully the answer is yes, as it would be a sight cheaper and maybe there's something else on LLL I could throw in.

Even more for international buyers. Dark Del has ridiculously high shipping to Europe.

The DEFIANCE Soundtrack Deluxe Edition features two CDs, one containing 22 tracks of original score, songs and cover songs as heard in the first season of DEFIANCE, and the other 22 tracks of original score from the companion MMO game. "Scoring a project like DEFIANCE is a rare situation for a composer," said composer Bear McCreary. "I was asked to help bring the alien cultures to life by developing a distinct musical heritage for each. I fashioned Votan instrumentation and lyrics into a variety of popular songs and ceremonial pieces. I wrote pieces for street musicians that float through open-air marketplaces. I produced alien classical music, jingles, jazz, rock-anthems and torch songs. The musical world of DEFIANCE is as diverse as the cultures it represents. For the first time on CD, this Deluxe Edition brings it together in one place."
