I really enjoyed the Serenity soundtrack and have supported Greg by buying the Firefly Digital LP from FOX!

I understand that a feature release geared to stimulating the emotional responses of moviehouse crowds, with the intent of jacking an emotional response that triggers repeated viewings for the lowest-common-denominator marketing niche, might requrire the skills of a musical genius with a different skill set than Mr. Edmondson possesses.

Still, that intro to Heart Of Gold sends chills throughout my nervous system. Better than the remainder of the show, imho, and that's sayin' something.

Not to mention the spot-on musical backgrounds throughout the series.

A toast to Greg! Shiny, man!

I will certainly miss him, though I am sure Whedon had something to say about how the music was done for the Movie too.

I just downloaded the TV soundtrack from Fox and realized a few things. First, how much I love Early's theme (The one with the Oboe). It reminds me of Peter and the Wolf and fit that episode so well. Secondly, the Funeral music in Message was awesome and helped make "The Message" my favorite Episode. It was so amazing to see the sheer presence of each of the characters on the ship. And the guy who played Tracy did a wonderful job with the actual message.

"When you can't walk you crawl, and when you can't crawl..." Well you all know the rest.

I loved that episode.

I will totally miss that music.

That being said, I do not think the music would have been suited for the movie given the difference in tempo. The movie is so much faster, so much more in the "now" than even the show, and no commercial breaks.

I loved the music in the show. I also love the music in the movie. Joss has done a wonderful job giving life to Firefly again, in every detail, including the music.

See you in the world!

I respectfully disagree. The one thing that bothered me the most was that the music wasn't quite right; wasn't Greg's. For the most part the music was fine, but there were a couple of spots in particular where the music felt completely wrong to me.

But I'm in the minority apparently, which is just fine by me!

Please Universal - Greg Edmonson for the sequel!

I thank you for this. I started misting up when the "Out of Gas" themes played.
And I'm glad you included the Eavesdown Docks music.

I don't think so, on repeated viewings I think more and more fans will be aware of what the music could have been like.
Newman did great, but greg's music is so ingrained in the show, like someone else said, a character's missing.
Jerry Goldsmith would've got it right....
*sniff*

But Greg Edmonson should have done it!

You're right...it's like a CHARACTER was missing. I loved the FIREFLY music so much I purchased and d/l it...it is great!! And I have no real drive to purchase the Serenity soundtrack... funny... I'm such the soundtrack purchaser! I'll go see it again this weekend -- I was so wrapped in the story I didn't even take much note of the music...hmmm...
