Title: Battlestar Galactica soundtracks, are they available?
Post by: Mobius on December 05, 2008, 02:28:14 pm

I wonder if it's possible to download the same soundtracks used in the BSG show from the net. _MaX_ used official soundtracks to create BtRL's game soundtrack and unless he was an artist working on the show he must have DLed the tracks from the internet.

Can you direct me to a legal site? Thanks in advance... :)

They're out on CDs. You can get them off Amazon or a similar site. In exchange for money of course. Link (http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=battlestar+galactica+soundtrack&x=0&y=0).

They are superb and completely worth the price.

Is that the only way, though?

Unless you do something illegal, yes.

They're completely worth a legitimate purchase, every bit as much as Freespace.

They're a bit expensive...and ordering a delivery to southern Italy would raise the price... :nervous:

Well that's just an example. There's probably a more local place to get them for you.

You could search 'Battlestar Galactica OST' on YouTube and listen to them there.

Thanks, I'll try it...

One more thing: do you know what does the woman singing the main theme say? When I watch every episode of BSG I have the impression that she says "Battlestar" but I fail to understand the other words. Are they in an "unknown language" of the show?

The main theme lyrics are in sanskrit and are as thus

Quote from: Battlestar wiki

Sanskrit lyrics
Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
Tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
Bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt

English translation
O earth, atmosphere, heaven:
May we attain that excellent glory
of Savitr the God:
So may he stimulate our prayers.

They are taken from the gayatri mantra
