Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Like its various galaxy-hopping protagonists, Star Trek has undergone a remarkable journey in its 30-year history, rising from canceled 1960s television ratings casualty to become one of the most successful and long-running franchises in history. A key to its success--and crucial human dimensions--has been the symphonic music of some of Hollywood's brightest film-scoring talents. Using Alexander Courage's venerable original theme as a starting point, those musicians (represented here by Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Leonard Rosenman, Jerry Fielding, Cliff Edelman, and Dennis McCarthy) have performed the musical equivalent of alchemy, both keeping a tradition alive and imbuing the films and television series with an ever-expanding vocabulary of wonder and emotional resonance. This CD captures the prime of that musical essence, from Courage's original theme, through Fielding's humorous Tribble-hunt, to the new thematic dimensions of Goldsmith and McCarthy. And fear not, Next Generation fans, the title's absence here does not equate to a musical shortcoming. Its theme is represented by Goldsmith's work on the first film adaptation, whence it came. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars Been There, Heard That, Want It, September 23, 2004
By Too Cold in Madison (Madison, WI, USA) - See all my reviews
  
Yes, this is not for collectors of Star Trek music, as all of this is available on more extensive albums. However, if you have no Star Trek CDs and just want the themes and most recognizable music on one CD, this one is perfect for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A handy collection to have around..., January 4, 2001
Most diehard Trek fans would already have these themes, but it is useful having them all on one disc. There was an earlier collection of Star Trek movie themes released a few years ago, titled 'The Astral Symphony', but this new disc is, of course, more up-to-date.

The stand-outs are the TOS theme (for nostalgia's sake, at least), Goldsmith's wonderful ST:TMP theme (which became the TNG theme), and James Horner's music for ST:TWOK. Strangely, there is nothing from The Search For Spock, but that is probably because that theme was very similar to Horner's ST:TWOK score.

And I just gotta say, no matter how many times I hear it...I still find it hard to listen to Leonard Rosenman's theme for The Voyage Home...

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is The Ultimate, August 17, 2005
By GameraRocks "captpicardfan" (Gillsville, GA USA) - See all my reviews
I've been a hardcore fan of Trek for a while, but sadly, this is the only album of Trek I have. This album is for you people that are in my shoes. If I never get another Trek album again, I'm very satisfied with this.

On this record, you get the best of the movie scores. When you put this into your CD player, you will automatically remember these tunes. Not only are the movie tracks here, but all of the themes (besides Enterprise) are here. Which is a sweet addition.

True, these tracks can be found on the other soundtracks, but if you want the best of those soundtracks, you've found it in here. And like I said, if you don't have any other Trek album and your looking for one, this is the best to get.
