Space: Above and Beyond Full Orchestral Theme Song

[PainMonkey]

Why does this song really remind me of the Batman cartoon's music?

[SzechuanWok]

@PainMonkey Both were composed by the same person, the late, talented Shirley Walker. :)

[PainMonkey]

@SzechuanWok Late? And here I just learned she existed!

[brandeo]

@PainMonkey Shirley Walker composed music for Batman the Animated Series as well. Good ear.

[PainMonkey]

@brandeo What can I say? She defined a lot of the mood of that character for me. As much, in her own strange way, as Elfman did. She was damned good at her work. Never saw this show though....:(

[vickihorror]

I loved this show. They only showed it in the uk late on a friday night. It wasn't possible to tape it either, as they kept changing the time. Still, it was worth staying up for!

My personal faves are 'Who Monitors the Birds?' and 'The Angriest Angel'.

I did feel that the show changed towards the end, shifting from its 1950s gun-ho promotion of war, into something quite melancholic and pacifistic with its sudden exposure of the more than human chigs and the very barbaric humans.

[brandeo]

@vickihorror The same composer did music for Batman the Animated Series. Shirley Walker.

FOX kills scifi!

Shuffle up the Wildcards!!! and deal em! You find that bastard and you pile on!!!! love this show! realistic, good, energetic and has a hell of a storyline... what makes i even better was my parents hated it when we first watched it... got to watch a few episodes and that was it... waited 9 years for the whole lot!!!

@SuperiorDeity Excuse me, Dr. Gaius Baltar here, how does it feel to have sold out the human race?

... Oh wait, nevermind.

@Bluesteel34 Take it from the Browncoats... Fox isn't giving you your show back.

[splynch1980]

@AlucardS9 Right on Brother. If its sci fi the networks don't know what to do with it. They never give shows like these a chance. Though as cool as the Browncoats are........you can't top U.S. Space Marines tearing ass through the cosmos. Especially when they've been trained by Gunnery Sgt. Hartman! lol

[Bluesteel34]

you want this show to come back.Instead of saying it here start sending e-mails to FOX....Thing is,if it does come back it may not be anything like the first one.I just got it on dvd and put my life on hold to watch all of it in one sitting.I'll just leave it at this,,,,FUCK THE CHIGS,,,,HAIL TO THE 58TH,,,,,FOREVER!!!!!!!!

[eddiecarlcalhoun]

IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST SCIFI SHOWS ON TV. FOR SOME REASON THE GOOD ONES ALWAYS DIE. I THINK THE REASON IS THE FILM COMPANIES DON'T WANT TO PAY THE ACTORS WHAT THEY ARE WORTH SO ANSWER TO THAT IS SHOW CANCELLED. I WISH IT AT LEAST WOULD BE SHOWN ON SCI FI CHANNEL . I THINK IS WAS ON THERE ONCE BUT I MISSED IT....

[Aberusugi]

Shirley Walker, amazing composer. Batman Mask of the Phantasm, Final Destination Series, so good...

[dukeliciousify]

Just recently discovered this show and immediately fell in love.

[eyeaboveall]

Screw you JpKlammer the chigs kicked ass. Cylons Suck and so do the silicates. the only humans I liked were the cast!

[TheAlEBurns]

Thanks for posting Katrana82. Brilliant, loved the show. The TV Execs wouldn't know a ratings winner if it was put under their noses RAIDERS58th.

[TheAlEBurns]

Because TV Execs have no vision RAIDERS58th. They are all pompous prats who cant see past the end of their own noses mate.

[krisvires]

God, how I miss this show... and Firefly. But at least firefly got a movie... S:AAB didn't even get a proper finale... damn suits!

[Aberusugi]

@krisvires Firefly is back on Science channel I believe.

[AlucardS9]

@acandterra

[bpwned]

I looked all over the net and I could not find the full version of the theme. Where did you get it? I only found a 4 minute version from the Prague Orchestra.

[omniconsum3r]

The show may have ended, but this music is timeless.

[theredwind]

Thank god someone posted this soundtrack up... one helluva an epic soundtrack...

always makes me think of the show's final words... FYF

[RAIDERS58th]

Why the fuck was the greatest show in the history of tv murdered by "suits"? WHY!!!???

[Exverlobter]

@RAIDERS58th

Because they ran out of money. What a pitty!

[Defender16]
