Blowin' in the Wind

I've been trying to keep my Stargate musings to myself as I realize that for the people who are actually watching it, seasons 1-4 are really old news. There are no new squees under the sun. But I can't help myself on this one.
I just watched the Season 4 episode "Double Jeopardy," which is a sort of a sequel to ( cut for spoilers in case anyone cares )
I'm incredibly partial to the music for "Tin Man," probably because it reminds me of Terry Riley's "Sun Rings," a piece I performed with Dessoff and the Kronos Quartet last year for which there are, unfortunately, no recordings. What's amusing is that "Tin Man," which came out in 97/98 predates "Sun Rings" - which premiered in (I believe) 2003. It's not often you see big classical composers imitating TV soundtracks, though the opposite is frequently the case. The similarities are superficial enough that I'm sure they were unintentional.
The Stargate TV show soundtrack is pretty damn good, actually. Too bad they released two soundtracks for season 1 and haven't done any since. Enough rambling over the music... For now, anyway.

One other SG1 tidbit...
Sep. 29th, 2005 12:31 pmI love the fact that Daniel's screensaver is little Egyptian drawings marching along. It's seen in several episodes, often in very serious exposition-type scenes, and nobody ever comments that Daniel has the archeologist's equivalent of a flying toasters screensaver.
