I couldn't find a pre-existing thread (though I was sure there was one around here somewhere), but here's some news on a score release for Lennertz's music for the first season of Revolution.
Release Date: 2013-09-03
Tracklist Revolution Opening Theme - J.J. Abrams Charlie's Theme - Christopher Lennertz Ben's Death - Christopher Lennertz Life After iPhones - Christopher Lennertz The Plane Gang - Christopher Lennertz Road to Wrigley - Christopher Lennertz Magic of the Pendant - Christopher Lennertz Showdown - What Now? - Christopher Lennertz Reflection - Randall's Visit - Christopher Lennertz Grace's House - Christopher Lennertz Truth About Miles - Christopher Lennertz Rachel Kills Strausser - Christopher Lennertz Matheson Adagio - Christopher Lennertz The Lighthouse - Christopher Lennertz Maggie Dies - Christopher Lennertz Maggie's Elegy - Neville Transforms - Christopher Lennertz Rachel Draws - Christopher Lennertz We're Saving This One - Christopher Lennertz Hairless Ewoks - Christopher Lennertz Pendant in the Open - Christopher Lennertz Blowing it Up - Christopher Lennertz Family Reunited - Christopher Lennertz Helicopter - Christopher Lennertz Danny Down - Christopher Lennertz Requiem - Christopher Lennertz Charlie Thanks Miles - Christopher Lennertz Revelation - Christopher Lennertz Strategizing - General Matheson - Christopher Lennertz The Drone - Christopher Lennertz Aaron and Priscilla - Christopher Lennertz Fly Away - Christopher Lennertz Entering the Tower - Christopher Lennertz Dark Tower - Christopher Lennertz Meeting the Others - Christopher Lennertz Genesis Of Power - Christopher Lennertz
Well, it will all depend on the format they'll release this in and considering they couldnt release a decent album for a 200+ million project... well, the hopes aren't very high.
Yeah, the spoilers are kind of strange. But I guess they think whoever buys the soundtrack has seen the show (which isn't the case: I usually buy a score if I enjoy the composer, not necessarily by watching the film or show). But the first spoiler (Ben's Death) is given away in the preview of the show and happens in the pilot, so at least that one's not as groundbreaking.
I really look forward to listening to the album! I would love a pressed disc, but a CD-R from Amazon is better than MP3.

It's a good thing thye let us know Christopher Lennertz composed every single cue after the first. For a second there I thought I might get confused and that JJ composed all the score and Lennertz just the theme. Thank God we have Lennertz's name beside every single friggin' cue sans one.
This CD is just terrific! I could heap any adjectives of praise on the score but the best way to describe it is that it is just a perfect example of the joy of listening to film and TV scores. The wonder, the excitement, the magic. Makes me feel the same as when I first started listening to film scores, discovering this wholly creative and imaginative soundscape. Bravo Christopher Lennertz! This is now my favorite work by him, up there with Supernatural and Vampires Suck.
Been listening to a lot of TV scores lately. Robert Duncan's Last Resort was average; iZLER's Revenge was awesome, and Revolution is just outstanding (getting into Isham's Once Upon a Time music next). Eric Kripke definitely brings out the best in his composer, although of course the lion's share of credit is to Lennertz. I have previously really been interested in checking out the show, and now that I know the music is this excellent, I am that much closer!
Some of my favorite tracks are:
Life After iPhones The Plane Gang Road to Rigley Matheson Adagio Danny Down Genesis of Power The Lighthouse Pendant in the Open We're Saving this One Requiem Hairless Ewoks Charlie Thanks Miles
