Surprisingly, some of the best releases of Babylon 5 music came at the very start of Sonic Images' history with the show. The two compilations serve as the very best means to get the music you want from the show without trying to pick and choose from the episodic releases. The original Babylon 5 compilation features music that is not available to this very day. The highlight, "Chrysalis," was, however, released in full in the third installment of episodic CDs. the music of this original volume is much more mellow as a whole than the aggressively sharp music that followed (as the storyline became more troubled over the years).
