"I watched the finale of "Battlestar" at the Television Academy surrounded by cast, crew, friends and family. Bear was sitting right behind me. When the credits rolled at the end I was desperately trying to bury my streaming face into my wife's arm to avoid unmanly embarrassment. As soon as I pulled myself together I span round and grabbed Bear's hand. His name got the biggest cheer in the credits. He is the 13th cylon. He is out of this world. When most series rely on a collage of recent popular hits, Bear created his own musical mythology to match that of Ron Moore's characters. Taiko drums, uilleann pipes, ancient mantras, metallic shards of noise that largely avoid conventional melody with the occasional Dylan lyric. Epic. Unique and completely original. A foreign sound that hits right home. An Emmy in waiting... I still run to this stuff on my iPod, it is my "Eye of the Tiger" - as soon as it comes on I am Apollo again. And I fly Vipers and win." ~

"If I actually understood how a musician hears life, I might be able to comment on the integrity of Bear McCeary and his work on 'Battlestar Galactica.' It is an extraordinary experience to hear the inner life of one's character - almost at times it would seem the subconscious musings of one's character - suddenly made poetyic and understood on a sensory level not possible simply through human behaviour. Bear understands character and plot and action as musical poetry and we were blessed to have him. He has a haunting, beautiful talent." ~ Mary McDonnell

Just to let you know, Bear is holding the top 5 spots on the TV Soundtrack list on Amazon.com (with all 4 BSG albums plus Caprica), the #1 spot on the Movie Soundtrack list (beating sales for Twilight and Harry Potter), and is #7 in all music sales (being beaten by Daughtry and 5 Michael Jackson albums).

Bear is f-ing king.

Thanks for the info

I think the CD is out today, the entire cast and crew contributed liner notes and this what Jamie Bamber said..
