You don't have to be a propellerhead to enjoy the soundtrack music of the now defunct Sci-Fi series, "Firefly." It's a shame that Fox Studios didn't really get this show, and the must-have DVD collection testifies it was truly a remarkable production, a cast of nine totally diverse characters, working together for a common cause, reflected so well in the background score itself. Set 500 years in the future, the crew of Serenity, a model of transport-class spaceship known as a Firefly, under the command of Captain Malcolm Reynolds, flies the outskirts of settled space, avoiding the ruling power of the Alliance, and picking up whatever jobs they can find.

Combining the American West langauge of acoustic "Cowboy" sounds, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo, the futuristic setting also infused many Asian acoustic instruments and blended a unique interplay of East meets West. Listening to the score is as much a pleasure as watching the captivating scenery, acting, and intriguing plot. Even if you aren't/weren't a fan of the series, we recommend acquring the soundtrack CD of the show!
