4.0 out of 5 stars "Sixty-nine never to be forgotten sound effects", March 5, 2000

If you are a Star Trek fan or love sound effects - this CD is for YOU! It is quite interesting after all these years since 1966, when this series made its debut on the small screens in America, the sounds you hear on this album are unforgettable. You know in an instant what particular sound, whether it be action, adventure or drama the sound effect department is creating for the viewer.

The final result is a unique library of brilliantly futuristic sound effects that were created by some of the best sound editors of that time. On this album are sixty-nine never to be forgotten sounds that made this series entertaining and somewhat believable, which we now find is not at all that impossible. This is not a relaxing listening CD, but the way we remember those sounds from the "Enterprise" during the '60s when the cast and crew were flying high and protecting this vast galaxy of ours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but mainly for old Trek fans, July 5, 2000

For old-time Trekkers, this CD is an evocative walk down Memory Lane. The effects are well-mixed for disc, and are quite impressive, considering the time period (there were few synthesizers to help the sound engineers, so they experimented with sped-up and backwards tapes, much like rock groups of the time). Because the sounds are out of context on the CD, they unintentionally sound rather eerie and vacant, somewhat like a Brian Eno ambient recording--a fascinating effect.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but mostly from one very old episode w/o Shatner., April 27, 2005

Dr. Charles Xavier (New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek: Sound Effects From The Original TV Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I listened to tracks 4,5,7,8,13, and 14.

Tracks 4,5,7, and 8 are DEFINITELY from the pilot episode
"The Menagerie" with Jeffrey Hunter (Captain Pike).

The long, drawn out transporter sequences on tracks 4 and 5
are easily recognizable from "The Menagerie", as is track 7
the Alien Planet Surface, and track 8 the Communicator Beeps
(it's the uncharacteristic "long beep" from "The Menagerie").

Track 14 the Warp Drive is a longish sequence and again sounds
suspiciously like the one heard on "The Menagerie".
As such, these sound tracks are not very representative of the
series, as the device sounds changed subtly but definitely
when NBC picked up the show with Shatner, Nimoy, et al, in 1966.

On the other hand, it's very nice for an old fan like me to have
access to these old, familiar sounds of a great T.V. show.
Thanks.
