Will anything be coming at all?    Posted:   Apr 17, 2013 - 7:40 AM     By:   Vermithrax Pejorative   (Member) Varese have released Sean Callery TV scores before, so I'm sure if it's possible, they would go for this highly successful series too. I really enjoy this show and BREAKING BAD, but they are two shows in which I never notice the music AT ALL! Obviously it's doing it's job without attracting my attention.    Posted:   Apr 17, 2013 - 1:13 PM     By:   Jeff Bond   (Member) I like Callery's Homeland music; reminds me very much of old school, 70s paranoia scoring a la Michael Small.    Posted:   Apr 17, 2013 - 2:18 PM     By:   Ant   (Member) I think there's some good stuff, but maybe it needs another season or two to provide a larger amount of music?    Posted:   Oct 28, 2014 - 6:22 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) I like this music, falling somewhere in the netherworld between jazz, electronica, and sound design. I would buy a CD. Incidentally, I thought the third season was pretty bad, but the fourth season is getting good.    Posted:   Oct 28, 2014 - 7:20 PM     By:   joan hue   (Member) I love this series and Callery's music within the series seems quite good; however, I cannot stand his music during the opening credits. It seems like random notes tossed here and there with a jazz undercurrent. It lacks any architecture and seems totally at odds with the camera tracking the streets of Pakistan. Even my tone deaf husband said he found the opening credits music grating because of the lack of synching to the visuals. But as I said, the music within each episode seems to work.    Posted:   Oct 28, 2014 - 7:35 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) It seems like random notes tossed here and there with a jazz undercurrent.

Oh, the horror!    Posted:   Oct 28, 2014 - 9:07 PM     By:   MikeP   (Member) The music has always been very good, aside from the main titles which have always been more reflective of the main character's state of mind I suppose. Interesting how Callery's 24 scoring, even this year's Live Another Day, was always grounded in a very... shrill...synth sound ( some say a cheaper sound ) while Homeland has always been a darker, richer sound, if less thematic.    Posted:   Feb 25, 2015 - 8:09 PM     By:   losher22   (Member) I love this series and Callery's music within the series seems quite good; however, I cannot stand his music during the opening credits.

Completely agree joan, I find the opening credits tune very annoying. Having watched the first two seasons for the first time in the last couple months, I was at first disappointed at the lack of music in the first season, then elated when more of Callery's work showed up in the second (and with increasing frequency, it seems). Here's hoping we get a CD eventually, especially if more 24 isn't going to happen!    Posted:   May 10, 2015 - 2:33 AM     By:   johnbijl   (Member) I love this series and Callery's music within the series seems quite good; however, I cannot stand his music during the opening credits.

I get that they're trying to reflect Carrie's state of mind as Mike suggested, but it doesn't get me in to an episode. However, the main title music *without* the visuals is jazz I can get behind. Callery has it up on his website here: http://seancallery.com/video_slider/11/ About the rest of the score: it feels like an amalgam of Michael Small and Mark Isham.
