I just got off the phone with the person in charge of the Firefly soundtrack at FOX. She is a Firefly fan and is very supportive of the soundtrack project. However, she says the soundtrack market is "in doldrums" right now, and they have decided not to issue the Firefly score through the conventional CD route. They plan to sell it on the internet instead, through downloads.

The problem is, this project is very low in priority right now. What browncoats can do is email FOX at askfox@foxinc.com to let them know there is a demand for Firefly's music. Please be polite and tell them you want to buy the music. These emails will be collected and used to make a case for releasing the soundtrack to Firefly as soon as possible.

I have heard some of the music that will be on the soundtrack, and I'm telling you that it is a MUST for all Firefly fans. The score stands VERY well on its own and is simply sensational. My interview with Greg Edmonson will be published on a soundtrack website shortly. I'll post a link to FFF.net when it is up.

In the meantime, PLEASE write FOX and let them know we love Firefly and want the music however we can get it.

I just sent an email to them about the Firefly soundtrack. I hope it helps! I asked for an actual CD release too. It would be so cool if they did it!

Thanks everyone who sent in an email. Firefly fans are the best!

I too am very disappointed that they don't plan to issue a CD. But at this point, I am just glad the soundtrack is still going to be made.

Please keep this thread alive for a day or two longer, so that as many browncoats as possible can read it and send in an email. I told them that there is a market and demand for the soundtrack, and that Firefly fans are making their own CD's from the DVDs. They need to hear from more than just one person that it's true.

I really wish you can hear this proposed soundtrack. I told Greg Edmonson that I had 2 recurring thoughts as I listened to it.

1) Someone, PLEASE give this man a movie to score. (Preferably a movie named Firefly.)
2) It is a CRIME that I am the only one hearing it. All browncoats and film music fans need to hear this.

So you see, I have become emotionally attached to the soundtrack and to seeing it happen as soon as possible. Thanks again for your help.
