SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 5:12 Min.
Collaborating with series creator Glen A. Larson, composer-conductor Stu Phillips created the primary theme for the same-named 1978-79 ABC TV series. The theme also accompanies the TV series’ 1978 feature film version of its pilot episode.
It’s unclear if Phillips or, more likely, a cover orchestra performs the extended theme to headline the 2000 two-disc Battlestar Galactica: The A to Z of Fantasy TV Themes two-disc compilation album. It appears as Track # 1 on Disc 1.
REVIEW:
Designed as a mini-medley, this homage to the original Battlestar Galactica is second to none, as it’s indistinguishable from Phillips’ theme. Considering how difficult it is to find Phillips’ official work from Galactica, this rendition (regardless of the actual performer) is likely the best alternative.
