BSGUS Intro

BSGUK Intro

Thanks, BladeRunner! I just listened to both and I definitely like the UK version better. The US version reminds me of the music from the movie Armageddon.

UK version is soooooooooooooo much better I hope that they go back to it and last nights theme was a one time thing.


****EDIT*********

Hmmmmmmm, after listening to them back to back I have to say that the US version is growing on me but I still like the UK version better.

UK, for certain. Well, almost certain. There may be other factors at work, like me associating it with the show and stuff

[Big Brother]

UK version, the sad-sounding female vocals are better than just a mournful horn. But I vastly prefer the original series theme, was one of the best TV sci-fi themes ever.

The UK Version is definetely bether....

[Blade Runner]

I prefer the UK version but do like the differences in the drums of the US version

[francisdouse]

Well, I like the UK one but I have to say honestly, having heard the US one I like that too, one of my favorite musical moments was Zak's funeral flashback and that's where the US theme is from, so I like them both. I like the arabesque feel to it, its good to remember that US/western musical preferences of the last few decades are not the only ones. I worried they were going to mangle it with cack rock ballad or something (shudders)..




PS. Any chance of getting a better quality version of the US one, Ogg Vorbis or something?

IMO the UK version is better, seems to have more feeling to it.

The start to the US version is so, so similar to the start of the theme from the Yu-Gi-Oh! cartoon show (OK, so not exactly), it just seems to have such an Egyptian feel to it.

As for the drums (it might just be the recording) but they sound very tinny and metallic. It might have worked better if they were clearer.

I extracted the UK version, sombody else did the US one, we will have to wait for a better rip of it to see.

After listening to both, I must say that I like the version from across the pond better( I live in the U.S.). The version from the UK, seems more haunting with that womans voice, and tends to grab you more than the U.S. version.

I'm down with the Brit invasion...
