This double CD contains the soundtracks of four of the early episodes of
the original TV series. On the first CD, there are the music scores of the two pilot episodes The Cage
and Where No
Man Has Gone Before
, on the second, The Doomsday Machine
and Amok Time
.
There are no bonuses contained on these CDs.
Although the music is more than 30 years old, this double CD is still a very good choice, especially at that low price. If you loved TOS, you'll love this CD!
This is not simply the soundtrack of the first Star Trek movie, but it's a
special edition honoring the great works of Gene Roddenberry. It's a double CD as well. The first CD contains the
complete beautiful soundtrack of Star Trek: The Motion Picture
including some tracks that have never been
published before.
The second CD, Inside Star Trek with Gene Roddenberry
, first published in 1976, had been unavailable for a long
time. Many of the actors talk about the experiences they made when producing Star Trek
and other interesting
facts from their lives. This CD is a piece of history! Every Star Trek fan should have listened to it. It's a
great chance to hear Gene Roddenberry, Mark Lenard and DeForest Kelley talking, when they were still alive.
This double CD is well worth its high price. It's one of my favorite CDs and I've never regretted that I spent a lot of money for it.
Well, this one is surely not one of the best Star Trek scores. I like the
main title and some other tracks, but it's just not Star Trek like. It's a pity that one of the best movies has one
of the worst soundtracks...
Compared to other soundtracks it is very short!
There are two bonus tracks performed by the Yellowjackets (perhaps you remember the jazz music when the Enterprise crew first walk through San Francisco and Kirk almost collided with a car), which are a highlight on the CD.
Like all soundtracks by Jerry Goldsmith, this one is excellent
too. I really like the music in Star Trek V. There's an excellent MIDI file from this soundtrack in the
download section!
It's just the opposite to Star Trek IV here: One of the worst Star Trek movies has one of the best soundtracks. Unfortunately it's very short too; and especially as it's such an excellent score, it seems to be even shorter. But considering the relatively low price, it's a rather good choice.
There's one bonus track on the CD: The Moon's A Window To Heaven
performed by Hiroshima. It's the song that
Uhura sang to attract Sybok's guards in the desert.
Well, it's not the best, nor the worst soundtrack. At least it's not so
short as its two precedessors. The score is very dramatic and nothing you should be listening to while eating or
studying... But I like really like and recommend it.
What is very interesting about this score is the fact that the single tracks run fluently from one into another.
I've only got the MC and ofen can't find out where one track ends and the next one starts. That makes it a running
concerto
.
There are no bonuses contained on the CD.
Whereas Dennis McCarthy created many excellent scores for the Next
Generation and Deep Space Nine, this soundtrack by him is rather average. As the price is a little bit higher than
the price of older (and better) soundtracks, I'd not recommend to buy this one, unless you're a fan of
McCarthy's music or this is one of the few missing CDs in your libary.
The CD contains some excellent bonus materials: A collection of sound effects from the movie. They're at a very high quality, and it's fun using them as your Windows sound effects.
This CD is also a very good choice. As usual, Jerry Goldsmith made a
brilliant score for the second movie with the Next Generation crew. The music is as dark as the topic of the film, the
Borg. This CD is one of my favorites and worth the price slightly above average.
The CD contains two bonus tracks: Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride and Roy Orbison's Ooby Dooby. It also contains a data track with a Macromedia tour on board Enterprise E with QuickTime movies of interviews with Jonathan Frakes and Jerry and Joel Goldsmith. Both bonuses make the CD a much more interesting buy.
Like the soundtrack before, this one was also created by Jerry Goldsmith,
the master of SciFi and especially Star Trek scores. This one's even better than its precedessor, but unforunately
there are no bonuses and it has the same old problem that it is too short.
Nevertheless, it's an excellent score, soft and emotional, like the movie; also one of my favorites.
My absolute favorite! See full review in the
Vic Fontaine section.
This CD contains extracts from the scores of Star Trek I, II, III, IV
and V. Well, that's all about it. No bonuses, no extras. If you don't want to buy all the single soundtracks,
this could be your choice, but if you already have some of these, you don't need this CD any more.
This is a collection of scores from all four TV series. The CD contains
the music from TOS's The Trouble With Tribbles
,
TNG's Heart Of Glory
,
DS9's The Visitor
and Voyager's
Heroes And Demons
. There's one bonus track with an orchchestral version of the Ressikan flute music from
The Inner Light
and Lessons
, as well as a data track with a really useless Macromedia tour.
Of the four scores the one from The Visitor
is my favorite. I don't know if the memory of this episode makes
the score so sad or if the episode is so sad because of this score... It is perhaps the most beautiful score of all
DS9 episodes.
This CD is also one of my favorites and worth its price.
