Hey everyone,
Reporting back from the sunny frontlines in equally sunny & hot Burbank, California!
Today fellow Battlestar Fan Club member Herb Brunner paid a visit on a certain composer of a certain musical theme...of course the imcomparable Stu Phillips (Stu, I know you are going to read this!)...so I'll add in the magnificent on top of that!
The place: Dark Delicacies...and for you folks in the Golden State that would be at 3512 W Magnolia St in Burbank...pay them a visit.
This is a bookstore that specializes in the horror & fantasy genre (hence the name) which of course I found fascinating.
The event: a signing by some very talented composers that included not only Stu but also Mark Isham "The Conspirator" & Cliff Martinez "Solaris" among others
Stu was there signing for the newly remastered 'Battlestar Galactica: A Saga of a Star World" which was just issued by Intrada.
I'm the proud owner of a copy!
Herb, lucky man, got a copy too...!!!
OK, so I did say in my caption that we had something here that you had never heard before.
I think I can say that with complete confidence.
Stu actually wrote a variation on the Battlestar Galactica theme back in '78 & as far as Stu knows the only time anybody ever mentioned to him that they had heard it was actually Glen Larson who heard it in a hotel lobby in Hawaii & was so excited by it that he actually telephoned Stu right then & there to tell him about it!
Folks, I give you...Battlestar Galactica...the DISCO version!!!
