While there are multiple motifs used by Phillips for the Cylons, I've opted to only compile iterations of the most recognizable one: the four note hit, often accompanying establishing shots of the baseships. The other motifs (one in particular) are heavily used to underly scenes, often in a more subdued and less distinctive form. Using them in a compilation would thus no doubt produce a long and repetitive result. As it is, two of them make appearances in this compilation and regardless, I am happy to present a video I've held off on doing for several years.

Good point......lol.
Watch demon seed 1977 to see science fiction become Sci fact today.

Awesome theme.
Great sci fi series that should have lasted longer.
Cylons looked like super machines.
