Credits
The Excelsior could never have left spacedock without the support of a lot of people. We'd like to take a moment to thank them.
Musical Credits
If you enjoyed the music you heard on Excelsior, please support the artists who made it, and purchase one of their albums. That way, you can enjoy their music, in full – not in pieces – and without a bunch of dialogue and sound effects getting in the way.
Everyone on this list is well worth your time and money, but if you're wondering about the name or composer of a particular piece of music you heard on the show, please feel free to write to us at starshipexcelsior@gmail.com and ask. We love this stuff to death, and we're eager to point you in the direction of artists you'll love.
