Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods - The Final Cut

Based on the popular 1994 science fiction film STARGATE, created by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, STARGATE SG-1 premiered on the Showtime channel in July 1997 and later moved to the SCI FI Channel in June 2002. The story of STARGATE SG-1 began about a year after the events of the theatrical film, when the United States government learns about an ancient alien device, the Stargate, and its ability to access a network of other Stargates on a multitude of other planets. The SG-1 teams, consisting of soldiers from the United States armed services and scientists, were quickly formed to explore the galaxy and and defend Earth against alien threats such as the Goa’uld, the antagonists from the feature film, and other races. The main SG-1 team consisted of Colonel Jack O’Neill (Anderson), Dr. Daniel Jackson (Shanks), Major Samantha Carter (Tapping) and the alien Teal’c (Judge). The series was a ratings success and ran for ten seasons, some 214 episodes. Joel Goldsmith was the primary composer for STARGATE SG-1 and continued to lead the charge when the franchise expanded to include STARGATE: ATLANTIS and STARGATE: UNIVERSE.

The first episode of STARGATE SG-1 was titled ‘Children Of The Gods’. Composer Joel Goldsmith wrote a complete score for the episode but the decision was made in post production by MGM to also include selections from the score composed for the 1994 feature film. At the time of the episode’s debut, a soundtrack album was released by Milan Records that was representative of the music used in the episode, which included a portion of Joel’s score along with selections from David Arnold’s score for the feature film, with a running time of nearly 45 minutes. In 2009, producer Brad Wright received permission from MGM, the studio that owns the franchise, to recut ‘Children Of The Gods’ and present it as it was originally intended, which included restoring Joel Goldsmith’s orchestral score. Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed by BuySoundtrax Records, presents STARGATE SG-1: CHILDREN OF THE GODS – THE FINAL CUT, mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, featuring forty minutes of previously unreleased music. The booklet contains liner notes written by series creator and executive producer Brad Wright.
