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

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

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Planning to do your own Star Trek spinoff? GET THIS., November 14, 1999

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

Since I was about 4 or 5 years old I've been a Star Trek fanatic. And since I was 7, I've been collecting sound effects. I used to make my own "radio show" type recordings, usually Star Trek oriented -- in essence, they were audio-only episodes made in the style of the original TV show. This sound effects disc was vital to me during those years -- I own three copies in fact, because the first two got scratched and marred to the point of wothlessness from so much use. If you are a Star Trek fan who loves those old sound effects, or want to make your own video or audio adventures as I have done, this CD is a must-have. My only gripe was that the bridge button sounds from the first and second season were not included, only the cheesy sounding ones from the third season. However, with some digitizing and clever noise reduction, one can isolate the missing sounds from the TV series and burn them back onto your own disc. Granted, there's no music here, but that's not what this disc is for! :)
