Adtunes - has this thread for the music in Defying Gravity - (some spoilers in the "what is that song?" scene requests) -
http://adtunes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97357A few people there dropped a note to the show's composer (Shawn Pierce) about some of the instrumental tracks, and he relayed the following two tidbits via email with them that may be of interest. There "
has been a lot of interest [from the fans] in Fox putting out a soundtrack"..."
and he hopes that Fox may decide to put out a soundtrack but doesn't really know what will happen." Also, "
according to him, the show hasn't been cancelled."
