Done and done. Love the music in the show, especially the bit in 'Serenity' near the beginning when they escape from the Alliance. Fantastic stuff.

See, I have the opposite plan: I'll buy the CD, and rip it onto my hard drive. Of course, I'd still prefer a CD. I could put it in my CD case and look at the pretty box.

Thank you!

You all might be interested in reading the interview with Greg Edmonson, the composer of Firefly, now available online.

The article is not just about the music, but has lots of scoops about the making of the show.

dmonson.htm

Here are some highlights:

Quote:
Joss' original vision was of a single guy just sitting on the front porch just playing guitar and singing the song. But FOX always thought of this as a more straight ahead action show...

That is why, if you'll notice, anytime we had a shot of the Serenity in space, it is always guitar and/or fiddle, never horn. This was the antithesis of Star Trek. Does the horn work? Absolutely. But Joss wasn't remaking Star Trek....

The very last piece of music I wrote for this show was when Inara tells Mal she's leaving in the Heart of Gold. And that scene was heart wrenching to me, knowing that there would not be another....

And a lot more!

I sent an email as well, also asking for a cd release. Since the blaster worm, I have no sound driver on my computer (and therefore, no sound) AND it killed my cd burner as well. If they put it out there to download, I could do it, but it would sit on my computer with no way for me to access it.

Hi, UK fan here, this might sound odd, but there is a radio station here called Classic FM, that basically plays classical music, however in recent years they have been playing more and more movie soundtracks, such as Lord of the Rings, and even some other 'classic' style music. I think the Firefly soundtrack would also sit very comfortably on such a radio station if it was heard.

This is a much better strategy than ripping tracks. We should be doing this legally, since stealing the music just hurts our case. I know it's only a small thing, but I say, hold off on the file sharing until Fox renounces its tentative plans to release the music. Then we can do ape-wild with ripping and downloading if they /do/ decide not to.

But here's a new plan: why not call radio stations asking for the music, all innocent-like? Sure, one person does it, they think you're crazy. And if two of you do it (*in harmony*) they'll think you're queer. But if three do it...can you imagine, /three/ people calling up a radio station and requesting the theme song or other music from the show? They'll think it's a movement. And that's what it is--the "I want a Firefly CD" movement in three-part harmony.

Message: You can get anything you want.

(Seriously, though--the Beatles got their first chance on a US radio station because some girl in MD called up her local DJ. And the /radio station/ went to the record company to get it and ended up importing one from the UK when none was available here.)

Calling the radio stations sounds like a good plan. One question though, besides the Firefly Theme (Ballad of Serenity), how would we ask for the other songs? Like the one at the end of "The Message"? There's no titles to the other songs.
