Wow, that sure is an annoying synth constantly chiming in the background.

Thanks for the promote!

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes. I'd actually love to hear Stevie and Herbie to an album full of Howard Hones/Thomas Dolby covers.

This is modal, but it's dorian, not phrygian. Hate to demystify this, but it's just a combination of the oft-used chord progression from Jimi Hendrix's Along the Watchtower with some noodling in a pentatonic gamalon scale (1,3,4,5,7). McCreary does a nice job with this show, but most of the iconic themes (The main title, the tribal drumming, the pulsing synth cylon theme, etc.) were actually created by composer Richard Gibbs in the mini-series. Bear mainly added the ethnic Irish, (LOTR/Titanic sounding stuff )and middle eastern (Hanz Zimmery dudek and vocal stuff) stuff, as well as riffing off the miniseries material.

Anytime,sure I will let you know,I like their music

Ugh, I upvoted before the end. I can't believe I contributed to that damn meme. Curse you 80's synth boys!

Disproves any claim that all 80s music was bad. I want an album of all these songs.

Um, to the contrary...

God Lives Underwater - Medicated to the One I Love

...after the song proper there's about 25 minutes of droning noise and strange synth work. Some of it sounds remarkably similar to this.

this is like a historical record of how nerdy and geeky people can be.


And how much fun they can have.

A bit disappointing with the synth horns...

Odd choice of music. Is it a YT edit? Usually, military marketing videos have "dynamic", forceful, anachronistic synth music. This is more optimistic, like a teaser for the 1901 World's Fair. So much so that the bomb at the end feels out of place.

I just felt like sharing that.

What a comely bunch of avatars. You should start a band.
