Album Description

Presenting the original soundtrack from the first season of Sci Fi Channel's critically acclaimed, top-rated television series starring Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff. Composer Bear McCreary's dynamic score ingeniously melds orchestra, vocals and synth into an emotional experience that ranges from full-throttle action to soul-stirring drama. Packed with more than 78 minutes of music, this is a comprehensive collection of the very best musical moments from this amazing sci-fi drama's first season. Features both U.S. and U.K. main title themes and includes exclusive liner notes.

Good companion for Battlestar Fans.......2007-05-07

If you're a Battlestar Galatica Fan, this audio is an excellent companion to your collection. Passacaglia, Forgiven, and The Shape of Things to Come are emotional and addictive orchestral soundtracks. Not every song from the first season is included in this CD. The opening credit songs for the UK and the US versions and the battle songs (The Thousandth Landing, Battle on the Asteroid) are included. Battlestar Muzaktica is quite odd and doesn't fit with the collection of songs.

Captures the feel of the show.......2007-04-11

Has a great selection of songs from the 1st season. I like show/movie CDs that you can picture the scenes and emotion of the actors when you hear the song. The Celtic underlays are great, and the Taiko drumming style is very well used for building intensity in the music. If you really like the series, you should probably really enjoy the music as well!

Awesome Soundtrack.......2007-04-11

If you like the music in a scene that just blends in and makes the scene even more emotional or suspenseful, that is what the scores from season one do on this cd. I initially bought it to for the prologue (cylon music) and the two main titles (U.S. and U.K.) but after listening to the entire cd, I have become completely addicted to it. The titles of the scores usually give you a hint of the scene and the liner notes also tell you the episode that they are from but the soundtrack has definitely made rewatching season one an even more intriguing experience. The scores with words, are written by Bear and are in various languages, but the words, especially the opera piece, are actually so dead one with the scene and in this specific scene hilarious. I love this soundtrack. If you are someone who is addicted to really grasping everything that happens in this show and watch and analyze it beyond face value, this is an added bonus to have in your collection. I highly recommend it!!!

BSG.......2007-04-10

Man I love the Classic and the Present BSG's So Inaturally find the SoundTrack/Score A joy and very relaxing. They tend to sound very similar but they are very diffrent.

Agree with everyone else.......2007-03-28

There have been lots of raving reviews of this album, as well as the equally sensational season 2 soundtrack. I just wanted to add my opinion on one track, "Destiny". An earlier review describes an Arabic string instrument being used, but it is actually a biwa, a traditional Japanese instrument that has such a distinct sound that it's hard to imagine it being used for anything other than traditional gagaku music. I don't know if anyone but McCreary has ever tried to use this instrument for something else, but it hardly matters. The fact that McCreary managed to use it so effectively in a piece that is so different from gagaku music is a perfect testament to his unique genius. I'm really looking forward to following McCreary's career.

LOVE Rainbow, HATE My Destiny.......2007-03-13

Kat can sing Over the Rainbow like nobody's business. It's just beautiful. However, My Destiny is the most cloying, ridiculous song I've ever suffered through. Here's hoping she feels the same way and will choose her future music accordingly.

SIMPLY THE BEST.......2007-01-12

KATHARINE MCPHEE BRINGS SUCH A UNIQUE SOUND TO THE TABLE. HER VOICE IS SIMPLY AMAZING. HER VERSION OF SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW IS ONE OF THE BEST VERSIONS OF THE SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD.

TO ALL THE FANS GO OUT AND BUY IT. SOMTHING DEFINITLY I THINK YOU WILL LISTEN TO MORE THEN ONCE.

MUCH LOVE

Brillant voice.......2007-01-10

This cd is wonderful, you can hear the full expression of one of the most beatiful voices of america. The principal single "over the rainbow" is perfect, the version showed here is even better than the original played at American idol contest. Ideal for a romantic night, candles and twilight, the caress of her voice can conquers everyone.
The second song "my destiny" is good too but obviously become pale next to the perfection of the other song. It let you appreciatte other aspects of katherine's voice not expressed on rainbow track, like more power nearly afro voice and higher tones played at this song.
In short a great purchase. The only defect i can say is that you want taste more of her art, but there is only two songs in this cd.

Over the Rainbow is over the top.......2007-01-09

This is the most beautiful and expressive version of the classic song I've ever heard. I'm so glad it was produced on CD after it aired on American Idol!

Sing it girl!.......2007-01-02

Kat and Chris Daughtry were my two favorites on American Idol last season. Kat has a beautiful voice and amazing talent! I used to sing Opera and Classical music and have a very fine tuned ear making it easier to pick out the real talent in groups. I am painfully aware that this doesn't always mean they will win though. I believe the only time someone DESERVING won American Idol was in season 1, Kelly Clarkson. I am really looking forward to Kat's CD coming out and plan to buy it.

Turn on This CD, Get Ur Praise On, then Go Get Your Prayer Shawl & Get Ready To Fall Out!!!.......2007-05-08

all i can say for this one right here is JESUS JESUS JESUS!!! i must admit i had been sleepin on stephen hurd, i didnt buy his last project, but had heard some of the tracks and really fell in love w/"undignified praise." i rem. seein him minister a couple yrs. ago on TBN and wasnt really impressed with his vocals, honestly his voice was kinda irritating (maybe he was having a bad day that day or it coulda been me- lol) but man after i bought "my destiny" i was so satisfied until i really didnt have to buy another cd for a long while if i didnt want to b/c this one did it for me! it stayed in my cd player for bout a month straight none stop w/o changing it. this brotha out did himself with this project and it is quite rare and i do mean rare when u find a project that is near perfect from start to finish, i mean the entire cd from the 1st track to the very last track is completely awesome and i think it's like 19 or 20 tracks on the whole cd and that's rare these days too. it starts out with uplifting & upbeat praise, then flows into that caribbean flavor, then transitions stright into worship. by the end of the cd i promise you'll be on the floor! i love the declarations and the prophetic flow too on the cd esp. when he transitions into the worship. but one thing that i really love about the cd is the praise & worship flow, i love how he started out with the upbeat songs and then sailed his way into the slower more powerful worship songs. its one of those cd's u can put on when u really want to enter into the presence of god and you dont have to worry about ur flow being distracted. it just takes you higher and higher, the first time i listened to it by the time i got to destiny pt. 2 by the way which is my favorite song on the cd, i was gone! i didnt even realize there was another track left on the cd till like a couple days later (lol). i recommend this cd to everyone who loves good praise & worship music, its well worth it! and did i mention he's a very well balanced artist that can really appeal to a diversed genre of people. he knows how to work the new skool flavor and capture the attention of the younger listeners as well as not loose the depth of the tradition that many of us grew up on. and on top of all that he's a worshipper, not just a singer which really makes a true difference to me! man any artist that can take some of the old hyms of the church and bring a fresh new life to them without jackin them up is alright with me! i mean in my opinion this is really a perfect cd with no need to skip or pass by any of the tracks unless you just wanna hear some of ur favorites over and over. i will be gettin any upcoming projects from this powerhouse praise & worship leader from now on!!! cant wait for the next project!

My Destiny - Stephen Hurd - Praise and Worship.......2007-01-26

Once again, Stephen Hurd has contributed to Praise & Worship in a powerful way. His anointing comes forth in the music and ministers to the depths of one's soul. I would highly recommend this piece to anyone, saint or sinner, and especially to those who share the ministry of Praise and Worship.

"I know what I'm here for!".......2007-01-08

Stephen Hurd did a concert at my church a couple of weeks before he recorded this cd and I was amazed that he had done so much of the new material. Needless to say, everyone in attendance was anticipating not only the recording but the release as well and I was not disappointed. This is Praise and Worship Music that breaks down generational dividers. He blends old school with new school so well that you don't know when he's transitioning from one to another.

Highlights:

Great Praise
Todah
Morning Medley
My Love Song (Singing a love song to Jesus never sounded so good!)
Destiny (My favorite song on the cd hands down. This song encourages you to "trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not into your own understanding; but in all of your ways acknowledge HIM and HE will direct your path."

A must have for anyone who really lives the lifestyle of a Praise and Worshipper! You don't have to be deep to go beyond the veil!

Let It Rise with "My Destiny".......2006-11-29

Stephen Hurd has moved into the realm of "Praise and Worship" ambassador. This CD cements his role in the up and coming group of artists with this type of flair. The music on this CD is so vibrant that many times I just have to go back and repeat tracks over and over because my heart and soul is so into the worship mode, and the words are so meaningful that they jump out at you. Get your praise and worship on following "My Destiny."

2006 release `My Destiny' .......2006-11-16

If Stephen Hurd's previous release `A Call To Worship' merely set out his stall, then this 2006 release `My Destiny' furnishes it with a greater display of his talents. The second album can make or break an artist, either establishing the artist or exposing a good first album as a flash in the pan. `My Destiny' definitely cements Stephen Hurd's presence among a crop of up-and-coming praise and worship leaders from US gospel music scene. And it's from the hand of Gospel musical director and producer legend Steven Ford so I assure you that the quality is high.

One pleasing observation is that relatively simple vocal arrangements sit on relatively difficult music. The result is songs that others may sing yet having an album that's entertaining enough to listen to. There's a mix of new and traditional, showing a solid grounding as he declares his desire to bridge the generation gap, which is just as important as the multi-cultural gap.

There are outstanding songs; the tour-de-force `Great Praise', the tasty Latin `The Glory Chant', the warm lilt of `Todah' and Stephen Hurd's title track soliloquy `My Destiny'.

You'll hear more refined male vocalists than Stephen Hurd but the call of ministry is more than that. This album has flashes of the modern yet is wisely underpinned with well-traveled songs paying homage to the traditional. `My Destiny' is a mature offering, showing where we are and how we got there.

Anointed CD, intimacy of Praise and worship.......2004-05-23

This Cd is awesome Cd. There is joy, hope, healing throughout all the songs. cd contain some of the most intimate songs, a heart that cries in worship, praise. got to have this cd. DJ. expresses his heart to God unlike any artist i Know. To hear his music and than hear what he dealt and struggled with in his life, would leave you to say "Look at the Merciful Saving Power of God, Coming into this man's life, making him a new creation, for there's nothing impossible with God."
DJ. leaves hope for those that are struggling with homesexuality proclaiming that through Christ Jesus you can be born again, made a new,set free. "it is a fact that he has been healed and people need to know that they too can be set free" Giving their lives to christ and turning away from their sins. Through the Blood of Jesus, there is Cleansing, there healing.
What ever your dealing, there is hope, in Christ Jesus the Savior

Loving touch of the Father.......2004-03-22

This Is My Destiny is a highly unusual song. I accidentally bumped into this song last year on a snowy Sunday morning with church cancelled. I didn't know anything about DJ before then. I was literally sucked into the song and couldn't stop listening to it. I cried every time (the first 20 in a row) I listened to it that morning and subsequently. I didn't realize how hungry my soul was for such intimate assurance from God until God blessed me with this heavenly 'breakfast' that morning. It was one of the few most healing moments since I experienced the most crushing blow in my life. I had the opportunity later to participate in a worship conference where DJ was present. I'll encourage anyone to get a hold of this and his other music. Meet him in person if possible to behold one of God's masterpieces of transformation in Jesus Christ who delivered him from a sexual perversion that is said to be unchangeable.

Just the Theme Song itself is worth it.......2004-03-22

The last song of the CD--This Is My Destiny--is a highly unusual song. I am an a minister from Asia. I have had exposure to a wide range of Christian music for several decades. I like music that is good whether it's tradtional or contemporary. I accidentally bumped into this song last year on a snowy Sunday morning with church cancelled, and without knowing who DJ was, I was literally sucked into the song and couldn't stop listening to it until I forced myself to stop, after playing it about 20 times. It was so healing, like God telling me who I am in His eyes through the song in the most intimate way. I had the opportunity later to participate in a worship conference where DJ was present. I'll encourage anyone to get a hold of this and his other music. Meet him in person if possible to behold one of God's masterpiece of transformation in Jesus Christ who delivered him from a certain sexual perversion that is said to be unchangeable.

His best yet!.......2003-06-22

"This Is My Destiny" has been my favorite Dennis Jernigan praise & worship album ever since I bought it when it first came out in 1999. It was the first Night of Praise event of his I had ever been to, and the songs from this album touched me very deeply that night. I bought it afterwards and have listened to it repeatedly over the years. When I desire to spend some time in praise & worship of my Father in Heaven, I usually start with this CD.

When you listen to this album, you can tell that Dennis has written and sung from his heart. Dennis did not just record an album, he recorded a time of praise & worship of God.

Although every song in this album is powerful and will speak to you if you are willing to listen, my favorite is "You Will Be My Rock." I have listened and sung this song many times when I have felt that I have to face this life all alone, only to be reminded that Jesus is with me. My second favorite, "Somebody Big" helps to remind me that nothing is bigger than the Lord.

In addition to enjoying listening to and singing along with this album at home, more and more I find myself taking it with me to my job so that I can listen to it while I work. It has been a great stress reliever just to have it playing while I work.

If you are willing to allow the Lord to speak to you through song, this album is a great one to use. You will not be the same when the album, and the Lord, are done.

DJ Helps Us Remember Who Is In Charge........2001-05-18

Never disapointing, Dennis Jernigan does it again with this great album of woraship music. From the first track, We Are Strong in the Lord, To the final cut this album ministers to the soul. Stand up for Jesus, is a classic DJ sounding praise anthem. Somebody Big, actually written when his pastor did a sermon based on the movie BIG, is a great song. It is one that sticls with you and reminds us that God is BIGGER! You Will Be My Rock, based on the sermon on the movie THE ROCK, is a great song as well. Make Me More Free, the album's next cut is a wonderful ministering song that reminds us that true freedom can only be found in Christ. The next memorable song from the album is in the ninth cut, Wounded Soldier. It will bring a lump in your throat as you think of the pain in our lives and the God who camne to heal the brokenhearted. You Are My Hero comes next and reminds us again that God is the hero in our most desperate moments. This Is My Destiny ends the album in a strong balad of God's plan for our lives. This is a GREAT album buy it and let the Lord minister to you. I also reccomend the book of the same name.

Customer Reviews:

this is the Philip Glassish version.......2006-09-13

One must realize members of the Philip Glass Emsemble are performimg here. True it has somewhat a disco feel at times. It is colorfull and upbeat. It has repetative framework that I think works well here. Because it follows closely to the original piece the Glass minimalism is incorporated within the music instead of controling it. I wished it had a bit darker and brooding soundscape and had say Fripplike guitar for example.( King Crimson- The Construction Of Light - to me that track sounds like Fripp meets Glass )Anyways, I managed to find this a few years ago on import after extensive searching. Now I see it is much more easily available. This was one of those albums I had that I was not happy till I found a cd version. Personally I love this.

A Surprising Find.......2006-07-02

I came across this album while browsing absent-mindedly through the public library selection. I had not recognized the name "Carmina Burana", but upon listening, realized that I had heard the piece many times, from many conductors, before. I am a lover of the medieval period, church music, and 80's synthesized music, amongst many other genres. I was astounded to find such a synchronically composed piece that brought together such diverse theories.

Mediocre.......2005-12-09

Very Very Very 80s sounding. While that normally isn't a bad thing for me, it just makes this album very boring and cheesey. I'm a Manzarek fan, but he still plays at his best in the Doors.

Takes you back in time.......2005-08-24

You can almost hear the great ship sail, the passengers whisper as I Salonisti gives the heart of a full orchestra in their small ensemble. If you don't fall in love with 'Destiny', you don't have a heart. There is an ethereal echo in the recording that gives it a concert-hall sound, which only adds to the beauty of each song. The only (miniscule) improvement they could have made was to put the version of 'Nearer My God to Thee' they played in the movie--it had a melancholy bareness that is missing from the version on this album. Still, this is wonderful music for afternoon teas and romantic dinners--really, any time you want to escape modern life. These guys get it.

Rich in depth, broad in scope.......2000-03-26

This recording is a must for the eclectic music lover. The artistic skills are first class. The sound in magnificent. The feeling and passion of presentation are tops. The selections are excellent. My personal favorite presentation is the use of a concert grand piano to play bass scores. Just Awesome.

A disappointment....the first 3 albums are far superior!.......2005-10-09

Oscar's playing is great, but this release lacks the wonderful compositions that made the first 3 Cd's some of my favorites.

This recording is the same musical ideas and techniques that he played on his earlier albums, but the tunes are not as creative.
It is mostly boring "vamps" (repetitive figures), with only a few good tunes mixed in.
The resulting album is uneven, and doesn't "gel" as a whole.

On the first 3 CD's, the tunes, musical ideas, technique, and groove "all came together" in a fantastic manner!
I hope Oscar will do better next time!

Oscar Lopez's "Mi Destino" was mostly a hit at home here. Our resident guitar fan grabbed it out of my hands and ran to put it on. "Ottmar Liebert on steroids!" we shouted in eerie unison.

The steroids calm down about track 3, and the album is about 30% not-so-good Latin wedding band vamping but there is quite a bit of listenable music to enjoy. While "Seduction" is Lopez's mega-hit album, fans will surely find some treats here. "What's not to like here!" purred the guitar fan to me. I like it too--it's a keeper. Just beware, that not every song is terrific. The guitar fan liked all of it; I didn't care for the galloping wedding ballroom sound in some of the cuts but I liked a good portion of the rest.

I have been an avid Oscar Lopez fan for years and own all of his Narada studio albums. My Destiny is by far the worst one. Being a composer/flamenco student myself, I looked to Oscar Lopez, Armik & Strunz & Farrah as mentors in the art. All of Oscar's previous Narada releases are a must have. Heat, Seduction and Armando's Fire contain truely magnificent compostions. My Destiny has only 3 tracks worth listening to:

Tracks:

'In Dreams Of Endless Pleasure'
'Through Her Soul In Endless Grieving'
'May Destiny Befriend You'
'The Blow At Last Has Fallen'
'Could I Ever Believe'/'Her Joy Is My Joy'
'Here I Stand'/'Since It Is Not By Merit'
'Poor Lost Ernesto'/'I Shall Go, No More Returning'
'Only One Teardrop'
'Palace Of Horrors!'/'Ah, How Can I Hide The Flames'
'Darling! Darling, Let Me Embrace You!'
'I Lost The Will To Action'
'Suzel, Good Morning!'
'The Night Is Calm'

Opera in English.......2007-03-19

Barry Banks is certainly a contender for one of the best tenors around. THis is a great example of coloratura and legato line which is very well executed in a rather booming tenor voice. I just saw Mr. Banks in "The Elixer of Love" and he was stupendous. This is a large tenor voce in the theatre which alas is difficult to capture in a studio recording...you have to take my word. THe translations are often odd as they generally are, but this recording is certainly worth having. (although I prefer in the original language)

4 1/2Stars...exciting voice and singing.......2004-12-02

Mr. Banks has a "heroic lyric tenor" if there is such a category. His fast vibrato and power lend the voice excitement and attention getting presence. I was intrigued by him in his stunning appearance in the Rimsky-Korsakov "Le'Coq d'Or" DVD (a not-to-be-missed experience)-- he was a stand-out there there and I went looking for other things by him. This CD is treasurable in many ways. The repertoire is interesting and the duets add flavor to the whole. The only small complaint I have is that perhaps Mr. Banks lacks just the last bit of emotional connection in his singing. You won't go wrong getting this excellent CD.
