New 'Battlestar' soundtracks on their way

Los Angeles -- NBC Universal and La-La Land Records are releasing two new music albums inspired by the U.S. science-fiction series "Battlestar Galactica."

The soundtracks for the special TV events "Battlestar Galactica: The Plan" and "Battlestar Galactica: Razor" are to go on sale Feb. 23. Both "The Plan" and "Razor" feature music by series composer Bear McCreary.

La-La Land Records is releasing the "The Plan/Razor" soundtracks through a license agreement with NBC Universal Television, DVD, Music and Consumer Products Group.

"After finishing my four-season journey scoring 'Battlestar Galactica' and releasing four remarkable albums with La La Land Records, I am thrilled to be able to return to this musical universe," McCreary said in a statement. "These two scores make any fan's album collection complete."

Actor Edward James Olmos directed "Battlestar Galactica: The Plan," which was released on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2009, and aired on Syfy last month.

"Battlestar Galactica: Razor" originally aired on Syfy in November 2007 and was released a week later on DVD and Blu-Ray.
