The Best Science Fiction Composers

Musical scores, in one shape or another, set the tone, mood, and atmosphere for cinema and television alike. While some are very ambient, some compositions stand out as being characters of their own. The folks over at io9, a great Science Fiction blog, have pieced together a great list of their top 10 composers for the Science Fiction genre. Some favorites make the list like Alan Silvestri (Back To The Future) and Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica) as well as some new or forgotten talent. I forgot how amazingly orchestrated the original The Day The Earth Stood Still was and how ell it holds up to the more modern directors on the list.
