Although the feel of this soundtrack is very different than the latter three soundtracks (owing to the fact that it was composed by a different person), it nevertheless delivers the same haunting mood and signature world-music feel of the entire franchise of BSG soundtracks. Listening definitely invokes the first BSG miniseries in the mind's eye.
Although this is just the mini-series, a lot of the elements established in this soundtrack permiate the regular seasons. Also, the calm yet erie emotion that is evoked is very powerful and adds to the dynamic power of the disaster that has befallen humanity to the scope that Battlestar tries to reach. Watching the miniseries again after having listened to the soundtrack makes it that much more poignant. Scenes are that much more powerful, and that's without the standard hollywood blood and explosion (such as when the ships without FTL drives are abandoned to save the rest of the survivors... it's the music that really dramatizes their fate.) Some tracks may seem a bit repetative, but you can't have the full battlestar experience without this soundtrack.
