Battlestar galactica: what is the song?

[mmx]

I'm looking for the song after the intro, where they show the total survivors and it sounds like the gladiator songs. Does anyone know the name of it?

probably a custome track....

"The theme song is a famous Hindu mantra, the Gayatri Mantra, taken from the Rig Veda. The words are "OM bhûr bhuvah svah tat savitur varçnyam bhargô dçvasya dhîmahi dhiyô yô nah pracôdayât", which may be translated in various ways but means approximately "may we attain that excellent glory of Savitar the God / so May he stimulate our prayers". "

dunno, bt I loved it.

It's on the Soundtrack for the show. It's an awesome title song, IMO!! I was worried when I started watching it on TV this season that it would have the same title theme it did for the past two seasons. Luckily, they got smart and used the better title song!

Oh, and it doesn't show the count of people anymore!

I'm betting next episode they bring the count back.
