Editorial Reviews

The DEFIANCE Soundtrack Deluxe Edition features two CDs, one containing 22 tracks of original score, songs and cover songs as heard in the first season of DEFIANCE, and the other 22 tracks of original score from the companion MMO game. “Scoring a project like DEFIANCE is a rare situation for a composer,” said composer Bear McCreary. “I was asked to help bring the alien cultures to life by developing a distinct musical heritage for each. I fashioned Votan instrumentation and lyrics into a variety of popular songs and ceremonial pieces. I wrote pieces for street musicians that float through open-air marketplaces. I produced alien classical music, jingles, jazz, rock-anthems and torch songs. The musical world of DEFIANCE is as diverse as the cultures it represents. For the first time on CD, this Deluxe Edition brings it together in one place."

Bear does it again with Defiance

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2016

Big fan of Bear. Collect most of his sound tracks. This is a two cd set with cuts from the show on one cd and the other has tracks from the video game. Second one has an excellent longer version of the title track definitely my favorite. Both cds are excellent and I am running in my car while driving.
There is a great balance of electronic and symphonic music that together make great music. Highly recommend you find this set and hear what I mean. Really different and enjoyable.

The soundtrack includes the video game score and the soundtrack from the TV show as stated in the description. Both are highly entertaining. I was only familiar with the TV show soundtrack and not the score from the game but both complimented each other nicely.

Those familiar with Bear McCreary's work on BSG and Eureka will find familiar elements to his score but he does offer some unique sounds not heard in his prior work.

I enjoyed the music in the series and searched for the sound track just wish some of the music from the rest of the seasons had made it on the cd.

Every single track on this one isn't stellar, but the ones that are stellar are good enough to bring the whole album up to a 5. This is the kind of style that McCreary should be doing--he doesn't really shine when it comes to mellow background music, but this kind of ragged transmodern rock, with a few covers, is really well done. I bought three copies of this, in the hopes studios will stop using McCreary for less-personable OSTs.

Tremendously Diverse Album

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2013

The combined TV and video game score for Defiance is an entertaining ride. Bear McCreary is on a roll with catchy themes lately; you'll probably end up putting some version of the title track on repeat. The show/game combo makes for an exceptionally diverse album. While the signature Defiance sound is a string orchestra heavily mixed with electronica, the TV show also included numerous vocal tracks, some covers of pop hits, some original, some in alien languages. Frequent B Mc C collaborators (and family members) Raya Yarborough and Brendan McCreary feature heavily. I find these tracks hit or miss (Ooh Child gives me chills, Terraform my Heart not so much) and am not particularly interested in alien singing, but the album as a whole is a lot more interesting because of the shifts in styles.

The video game soundtrack is more what one would expect, rocking electronics with nary a human voice in sight, loaded with tension and energy.

Is it worth getting the CD set? Unlike the recent Da Vinci's Demons set released by the same label, the physical release has no bonus tracks. In fact, it's actually missing a couple that were in the mp3 release. The standard jewel case and modest liner notes (which do include the lyrics and translations thereof where needed) aren't a compelling attraction. It is always a plus to have a lossless format, and if you are enough of an audiophile to not want mp3s, this is the only way to get better quality sound.

Ultimately, whatever format you want, I suggest getting both halves of this album (the mp3 versions are separate albums while this is a two-CD set). 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5 because the theme is that good.
