Eureka

 (3 customer reviews)

Bear McCreary is a wonderful composer. Those who follow science fiction television may be familiar with his work in 'Battlestar Galactica' and 'The Sarah Connor Chronicles'. The music he provides for either of those shows tends to dwell in the dark and dramatic, but what he's written for 'Eureka' is something altogether different.

'Eureka' -- both the show and the town from which the show takes its title -- is probably the quirkiest thing on cable TV. It has enough drama to keep one hooked, but for the most part the tone is light and fun. The show's soundtrack reflects this sentiment.

What we have here is 28 tracks lifted from the show's second season. With the exception of the marvelous opening theme (also available on this CD), the first season featured music that was somewhat generic. It lacked a unique identity.

Throughout season one of Eureka, there always seemed to be an element missing from the show. After listening to the soundtrack for Eureka, that missing element was found! The music Bear McCreary has written for the show added another character and helped to complete the story. Many of the main characters have a thematic voice and those ideas are presented here. I actually listened to the soundtrack before I watched season one. And I was extremely surprised how well the themes fit the characters they were meant to embody. All-in-all this is another great selection of music by composer Bear McCreary.

The music from this fabulous show is catchy. I really injoy listening to this soundtrack. Any fan of this SciFi show would love to own this just for the theme song.
