In case anyone’s paying attention, The Osprey and I have a running wager: any time I make any reference, whether it’s obvious or obscure, to Battlestar Galactica, I must “pay” him 10,000 Quatloos. Being the huge fan of the series (in all of its iterations), I am more than happy to play along, and as a result, The Osprey is quite awash in Quatloos!
In any case, I’m always on the lookout for music which captures the spirit of Bear McCreary.
Recently I discovered is a new game available on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux platforms featuring compositions by Philippe Rey, Peter Dibble, and Olivier Zuccaro. The game is titled Diaspora: Shattered Armistice, and is based on the Freespace 2 engine.
I’ve got the hardware to run it…I may just go ahead and do that. Meantime, check this main title track from the game:

Lots more where that comes from…best of all, the game is FREE! And of course…it’s the Overnight Open Thread!
