Amazon had it for $15 and some change when I pre-ordered it last month. Looks like it's up to $17 now.
Love great film soundtracks, but TV...not often.
I can sort of see that--most TV soundtracks are not terribly inspiring, at least not in comparison to movies, although I have a couple decent ST series ones. But then again, I'm pretty sure Bear McCreary is some sort of composer god set down among us mortals, so I'm not surprised this is amazing. (I feel so inadequate realizing that he started composing for BSG when he was my age.)
I do wish the soundtracks would go up on iTunes. I'm not sure why they haven't; they have the series itself for sale there.
I have nevertheless managed to get hold of it and OMGGOOSEBUMPS. Frak me. I thought that was powerful in the episode, but you're right. The episode version has bugger all on this one. Holy shit.
See? :) I think my jaw actually just dropped and stayed open for the last minute or so the first time through.
There are several other tracks that give me shivers, too; I think my favorite is "Diaspora Oratorio," which lives up to all the hype Bear made over it in his blog. (This is the choral music from the end of "Revelations," when they're setting course for the first Earth.) Some of the cues from near the end of the "Daybreak" CD are goosebump-inducing as well.
