apropos of absolutely nothing

I would pay money to see somebody choreograph a contemporary ballet pas de deux to the song "Gaeta's Lament" from Battlestar Galactica. It would be a beautiful adagio, morphing into something huge and powerful when the drums kick in. Alternatively, do it on ice, with some really athletic side-by-side and throw jumps at the end.

I never had it in me to be a professional dancer, but there is and always will be a choreographer living in a back corner of my head, drafting movement to the music I'm hearing.

The whole score would make for a very fine ballet.

The whole score would make for a very fine anything. It seriously makes me into a little puddle of squee. Drums, world influences from all over, and then in the later seasons they get some really good grinding bass in there -- I only wish it was food, so I could eat it up. <g>

ETA: I should mention that I used "Martial Law" from S2 on the Ashes soundtrack (http://www.swantower.com/marie/novels/onyx/fire/ial-sdtk.html), and there's something like four or five more pieces on the soundtrack for Star.
