I think this is one of Bears absolute finest scores so far. Its such a big part of the show. I really want to buy the soundtrack but want it on CD not download, so I've been waiting for news of the CD release while being sorely teased by the mp3 version and the samples on Amazon. Come on Bear, any news of a rough timeline for when we can expect it? I just know I'll eventually cave and buy the download only for the disc release to be announced a few days later!

The Sparks and Shadows website states that the Collector's Edition CD for Da Vinci's Demons will be released on October 22nd.

Seeing as that is my birthday, I really hope this is true. Been holding out for this.

The website lists a two-CD Defiance release but no release date.

"Available on iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify "... Butbutbut... where do I get my signed version Will it be available at Lalaland too?

Good question.

Da Vinci’s Demons Collector’s Edition 2 cd set
Music by Bear McCreary
Retail Price: $21.98

360 SIGNED UNITS ONLY

Bear McCreary’s sweeping orchestral score for Da Vinci's Demons, featuring the Emmy® Award-winning Main Title Theme, was meticulously researched to accurately represent the time period, without being bound to it. The score combines orchestra, Renaissance instrumentation, choir and ethnic soloists with the renowned Calder Quartet and surging contemporary synthesis. “For Da Vinci's Demons, I looked to the real-life Leonardo for inspiration. He famously wrote backwards and forwards, so I decided to write music for him in the same way," said McCreary. "I wanted to write the Main Theme as a musical palindrome, so it sounds the same whether played forwards or backwards. The challenge was to balance that intellectual idea with the dramatic needs of the story. I think the end result works beautifully and would make Da Vinci proud." This Collector's Edition double CD features 12 bonus tracks not available on the digital album.

Like the previous Europa Report release, La-La Land Records has been allotted 360 composer signed copies of this 2 cd set. Once they are sold out, they are gone for good from La-La Land Records.

Regular, unsigned editions can be purchased at www.amazon.com

See y'all back here next Tuesday Oct 22, 1-2103 at 12 pm pst

Great!

If they keep releasing them this way, I'll keep buying them.

Same here. It's a little pricey to get them to Germany, but I need to keep my collection complete, don't I?

Twelve bonus tracks, too. I knew there was a reason I waited for the physical release.

It's out today!
