This compilation cd has chosen some of my most favorite cuts from the movies and tv shows. But because it is a compilation, it lacks the transition you would find in a sound track between cuts.

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.

I love the re-recordings of the star trek themes, Telarc released one of Erich Kunzel and the Cincinatti Pops in 1996, Varese Sarabande released this one in 2000 and Silva America released "The Star Trek Album" in 2003. They are all great, and they all rival the OST. And in some cases are superior. This album: all of hte jerry goldsmith tracks are available on Varese's Goldsmith "Frontiers" album. The 2 steiner tracks are on Star Trek Volume 2 from the 80s when they re-recorded TOS episode suites. Everything else is new. The tracks by the seattle symphony orchestra conducted by cliff eidelman (who composed star trek 6's score) are great.
recommended.

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.

...is to be found on the track listing of this album. Whatever the temptation to rhapsodize over the original series theme by Alexander Courage because--after all, it's the original--as a piece of music, it's very forgettable. Once you get past the simple but elegant intro that goes with Shatner's "Space, the final frontier..." (which was good enough that it ended up getting recyled a generation later for Stewart's similar intro)--after that, well, it becomes elevator music, nothing more--I can hum it note for note because I'm a Trekker, never missed an episode and for no other reason. But as music? As Eric Engberg put it; "Reality check--time out!" On the other hand, the fanfarish "Deep Space Nine" theme--which goes so well with the exterior shot of the station (you get the feel of just how huge that thing is) is a powerful fusion of John Williams and Aaron Copland, with so much of the best influences of each that it's not at all hard to avoid resenting the fact that it's derivative of the two composers. Williams, after all, stands very tall as a film music composer who's uniquely capable of writing material that can be listened to as music, period--and some of that influence has affected the composition of the "DS9 Theme". I may be a Trekker, but I'm also a music freak--the "DS9 Theme" speaks to that part of me.
