Music for Writing

So I'm working on this fic... doin' my second draft thing because you know, I just can't put any old piece of shit out there. And I need music because sound is better than silence.

The usual suspects line up. I've got my new disturbed. Go thru that. Great cd. Go through that a few times. Switch to Angel soundtrack, since some of the characters I'm writin' come from that show.

And it's a good soundtrack. Particularly like VAST and Christian Kane.

Then I put on the Battlestar Galactia season one soundtrack and am, once again, utterly blown away by this music. Hope they do a season two cd. This stuff is just incredible. Not at all what you would expect for a sci fi series, or even, a television series. Very much on the order of Joseph LoDuca's work on Xena/Hercules... where the music is so much a part of the fabric of the show that just hearing it brings to mind vivid imagery.

The one thing I love the most about the BSG soundtrack? The music is pieced from various cultures... it's like a sampling of the best of human noisemaking... just as BSG itself has characters that arise out of all humanity. Love it.

Can't wait for Season Three.
