Does he use words / phrases from the sacred texts of other traditions, like the Mantra at the beginning of the BSG theme ? Anyhow, I'm LOVIN' this, even if I can't find it on CD yet.

It's on the Season 3 soundtrack. First track. Not precisely this version, but essentially the same.

hiryu87-

Thanks for the tip !! I don't know if I'll ever see them in concert, but YouTube & CD's are the next - best thing.

[hiryu87]

Yah, no prob. Enjoy! :-)

This is absolutely breathtaking.

I have all the current BSG soundtracks and listen to them constantly, but to have been at the show would've been monumental.

BSG (reimagined) is one of the best-written, acted and filmed shows to ever grace our screens and the music complements it so beautifully that it's unimaginable without it. So say we all!

BSG's music consistently gives me goose bumps in the best possible way! This is an amazing post, So say we all!

Just get the DVDs. The "point" is everything. You missed an incredible show. It's fully available (hopefully online, by mail). You can get it cheaply on Amazon (by the Season -- there were 4). It's worth it. Trust me.

I miss this show ! Forget lost forget everthing that came before BSG And music just classic .Could watch the DVD's but whats the point ! i'm Pretty sure there was a least two more seasons .There was more story's to be told .Starbuck god if there was a story there they could make it in to a show on it's own!

[doberman0013]

It's Armenian

[DrumlineGuru]

The show, and the music, is so eerie and always struck something very deep inside me. BSG showed that we all have a common origin, whether here or "out there.' Bear M knows how to portray that.

excellent stuff, I hope they'll do a European gig soon!

Didn't know that. I'm surprised he didn't work in a Korean folk song like " Arirang ". Nobody's really sure of its significance.

[philbetron]

Turkish is from the separate Altaic family, but what you might be thinking of is Proto-Indo-European. It's a language that supposedly is the mother of those languages and quite a few more. Though, its existence has yet to be proven and remains only a linguistical construct.

[knoxvilleguy2]

philbetron:

But most of the languages I've mentioned have something in common with the root language of Indo - European, from Turkish to Armenian to Russian to Iranian / Sanskrit / Hindi / Urdu, correct ? Incorrect ? I'm curious, I have to admit.

[philbetron]

It's Armenian. The language of the title sequence is Vedic Sanskrit, which is an Indo-European language and used as a basis for, among others, the northern Hindic languages.
