Firefly, creator/director Joss Whedon's hip and eclectic sci-fi series, may have tanked on the small screen, but it garnered the kind of devoted fan base that takes other similarly cultish programs years to muster. One of the many things that made the show so unique was its adherence to Western themes (as in cowboys), an element that not only informed the program's language and attitude, but its music as well. While composer David Newman -- he has a famous composer brother named Thomas (Shawshank Redemption, Six Feet Under) and even more famous cousin named Randy -- retains little of Greg Edmonson and Whedon's original music on the series' big-screen adaptation, Serenity is still occasionally kissed by a flurry of guitar and banjo, percussion, and pan-Asian flute motifs. Newman has taken some of the quirkiness out -- to many a fan's dismay -- and replaced it with chilly and bombastic action cues that scream mediocrity, but for the most part no great injustice has been done. In fact, Serenity has more in common with Joby Talbot's eclectic score for Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy than it does Krull. ~ James Christopher Monger Serenity Soundtrack Music Serenity Soundtrack Music Review Average Rating: (3.8 out of 5 stars)   Great! No rock music! Purely original!
Very original "heroic" orchestral music. also uses guitar, cello, etc in stirring melodies. I haven't bought a soundtrack in 2 years but I rushed to get this.

Get it
Good soundtrack of course, everything about Firefly and Serenity is professional and a masterpiece. Buy the soundtrack and the movie and the season. I don't care how you get them, just do it. If you're into sci-fi I know you'll like it. Trust me!

The music is really good. Unfortunatly none of the songs go over 4 minutes. However if you really enjoyed the movie and the music, that shouldn't be a concern while purchasing this sound-track.

As a fan of the show I was a bit dissapointed in its soundtrack. I would skip it and wait for the DVD to put with the series set.

To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, Columbia Records, was founded early in the 20th century. Sony acquired Columbia and its various subsidiaries in the late '80s, purchasing one of the richest ...
