Each suite also has more recognizable themes, probably because there's less action music. It is worth mentioning what exactly these suites are, in this and B5V2. They aren't JUST episodic suites, but rather compilations of music from several different episodes. Not only did Franke go back and rewrite lots of music to fit the suite format, but in places he completely restructured it to enhance the listening experience. Alternates action and quieter stuff, with several minor motifs that he repeats throughout.
Mind War is shorter, creepier, and quieter.
As the name suggests, there aren't too many huge explosions evident in the music. The gem for me is Parliament of Dreams. It sounds like no other B5 music I've heard - very smooth jazz, driven by a sax theme, but with some spacey percussion behind it. It's probably the most motif-ridden suite on the CD, and makes for good listening. It's also worth mentioning that, unlike a lot of other TV composers, Franke isn't afraid to use the B5 theme in the scores.
