'The hit Sci-Fi Channel series Stargate: Atlantis returned to begin its second season in July. The acclaimed first season will be released on DVD on November 15 and its soundtrack will be released the same day.

When a secret base, abandoned by the original builders of the Stargates, is found buried in the ice of Antartica, the newly formed Stargate Atlantis team is born. The team's discovery leads to a daring expedition to the distant Pegasus galaxy, where they encounter a primitive human civilization and a sinister new enemy that threatens human life everywhere. The Stargate Atlantis mission is headed by Dr. Elizabeth Weir, a specialist in diplomatic relations. Her political savvy is balanced by the bravado of her military counterpart, Major John Sheppard, a courageous pilot. Rounding out the crew are Lt. Aiden Ford, Sheppard's second-in-command, Dr. Rodney McKay, a clever and quick-witted astrophysicist and Teyla, a beautiful young leader among the primitive alien civilization that the Atlantis team encounters.

The thrilling, epic and beautiful score for Stargate: Atlantis was composed by Joel Goldsmith, son of the legendary film composer Jerry Goldsmith. Featured on this CD is the show's fantastic main theme, which was recently nominated for an Emmy Award.'
