Looking for a tune... (Battlestar Galactica)

[Cortexian]

I'm not sure if anyone's got a good version of the "Cylon Activation" song used in the fourth season of Battlestar Galactica (episode 17 to be exact). The soundtrack doesn't come out until the 21st or 28th of this month but I honestly can't wait that long... I'm able to pay for it and everything if ANYONE has a link to the song.

The song I'm looking for is the piano cover of "All Along The Watchtower", here's a rip of the audio from the actual episode, as well as a rip of certain channels from the episode that remove the voice from a section of it.

The raw audio rip:

The cleaned up version of the "ending":

If anyone knows if there's an "official" version of this out yet, please post a link here!

You can just record it straight off youtube using Audacity.

It's by Bear McCreary, I know that much. He's the composer for all Battlestar Galactica audio.

I'll look through season three's compositions and see if I can find the full audio file.

E: Thought it might be Battlestar Sonatica but it isn't. It's an unreleased track (so far) from season 4 now that I think about it, I'll try finding when the OST releases.


E-Squared: I was right, it releases with the 4.5 DVD release this month, July 28th to be exact.

The closest thing in season three is their rendition of All Along The Watchtower, and it's the last song in the soundtrack. I've got all the previous soundtracks (Mini-Series, Season 1, 2, and 3) and it's not in there with the piano cover. I guess I'll just have to wait for the Season 4 soundtrack to hit shelves, but I'll head down to the Future Shop I was working at during the Christmas season and talk to some of my buddies, maybe they've got it already.

@ Rentafence:
That's fan-made if I'm not mistaken, it's good and I ripped it awhile ago from YouTube, but it's not the real deal. Just listen to the second clip I posted and you'll hear the differences.

ahem, never mind...

Lies! Can't forget Richard Gibbs, who did the original music in the Miniseries and some of the tunes for the first season, which carried on over to the rest of the seasons in various forms.

True, though Bear McCreary took the concept and made it his own, beyond any dispute.

Freelancer, I think you'll just have to wait until the soundtrack comes out. The track you'll probably want is "Kara Remembers". I'm also waiting impatiently for it- I loved every moment of that music.

Edit: Meh, 1 day bump. Oops.

Prelude to War is the best one in my opinion; it's track no. 18 on Season Two.

[Siliconmaster]

Definitely one of my favorites. I don't really not like any of them.

True statement there. I think Bear McCreary has John Williams pinned.

I really like the celtic inspired ones such as "Reuniting the Fleet", "Wander my friends", and "Admiral and Commander"... There's just something awe inspiring about the celtic theme they put in there.

Just take a listen, the theme honestly almost brings tears to my eyes:

I'm with Siliconmaster though, I like them all, some more than others though... One of the best TV series soundtracks imo.

Diaspora Oratorio, when it comes out on the season 4 soundtrack, is going to make me cry manly tears.
