VisualBarrage’s 4 minute The Brilliance of ANDOR (Star Wars at its Best) video says it all on how great the music for Andor is. How it contrasts with other recent modern Star Wars soundtracks, and how it is different in that it embraces the future, much like the Original Trilogy soundtracks did.

 

The actual soundtracks for Andor season 1 are available to listen to for free on Nicholas Britell’s official YouTube channel

 
Andor: Vol. 1 (Episodes 1-4) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kz5rJYR89-HFxKDZ0kDJ9_gNcia7JStmk

Andor: Vol. 2 (Episodes 5-8) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mFdPOf14SMBrLxZK9qz9gwaQBzihnMiIk

Andor: Vol. 3 (Episodes 9-12) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mAQYMJ6sMf0FgFwZdOHJQIxpkTc0SVIP0

 

SuiteSoundMusic’s 36 minute mix of Andor music is a great listen too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttM37cbu7kc

The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Yes! The music for Andor was top drawer, and some of the best in Star Wars for a long time. I’m really looking forward to see what they come up with in the season two.

I haven’t listened to any D+ soundtracks but I’ll have to give Andor a go. It was pretty interesting but I have to listen to it separately.

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.
