Anyone remember the early first season theme-- only used for like the first 10 episodes? That was the best of them all. Maybe they'll re-do that one too. I like it… the brass sounds a lot clearer.

The congas are a little bit too loud, and the second hit from the timpani at the end is far too laid-back, brass (especially the trumpet) and french horns are not well balanced at some points. But all in all the performance is WON-DER-FUL!! Very moving! I personally think they could have produced a better recording.

If only this would end up in the upcoming Movie... Enjoy!

And after listening to the second season title music download, that soprano singer is just too loud. She overpowers the music. The original title music suggested the singer, clearly she was there, but not to the extent that she is now. And listening to the second and third season versions on DVD. The third has an upbeat tempo with, I think, a snare drum beat…. and the soprano doesn't seem to be there, but only a musical version of the theme. The second season version, of course has the soprano and a different sound overall. Kirks voiceover has more of a reverb/echo in the new version as well. I’m not a music person so I don’t know what instruments were used. But the new re-recorded version is clearly different then the original second season title music with the pronounced soprano. I didn’t see “Wink of An Eye” so I don’t know what the third season version sounds like. I hope they’ve stay true to the original music which is a different arrangement from the first and second seasons. If the soprano was used in the third, as the article above states, then she's almost non-existant in the old version. I perfer the organ sound with the upbeat tempo in the third.

The second season theme was *awful*. The tempo was way off-beat--it almost sounded like the orchestra was hesitating towards the end (right around where DeForest's credit appeared)--and Trekkie or not, the soprano was no Loulie Jean Norman Price. And don't get me started on how the Enterprise looked in the new credits. Grr. Gaggh. The second season theme was *awful*.
