This music was very well recorded and I plan on getting all three discs.(I have two so far)
I am a Trekker but good music stands on its own. One of the things that has made this show last all of these years is the music score. Very important for setting the tone and mood. If you enjoy orchestral music you dont need to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy this.

Secondly, while "The Cage" seems complete (thankfully the music during warp-speed is omitted), "Where no man..." is not. The music to the climactic 5-10 minute battle ... Read More

Alexander Courage was a pioneer in the scoring of early television beyond anyone's comprehension during that time...his creativity and music would have such an impact on future series and composers now coming into an age electronic wonders...not on the same scale as Bernard Herrmann, but very close to his edge of scoring...if you know what I mean.
Not unlike Herrmann, Courage has a way with orchestration and arrangements...take for instance the cues on "THE CAGE", each a theme within a theme, never-ending ... Read More
