While the late, great, Jerry Goldsmith did a tremendous score for the original big screen undertaking, NOTHING will ever be able to match some of the original cue bursts that peppered throughout the Original three Star Trek series…and to hear just the odd snatch of such evocative music from them included in the new movie would be wonderful.

I just hope it happens before I pass from this world to the next or at least still have my hearing.

It’s just ridiculous. Ther’e still money to be made off Trek….and soundtracks are one place where they would certianly get the money of people like you and me.

Oh, to DREAM they would use Fred Steiner’s cues!!!! Steiner was my favorite Trek composer. Gerald Fried a close second. I won’t hold my breath. At this point, I would just be happy if it’s thematic at all…and not just more Rick Berman style “sonic wallpaper”. We’ll see. TOS music gets dumped on a lot for being “campy”. But back when it was written it was NOT campy and I think that music works so well, because when you hear it, it evokes memories of specific scenes/episodes. The only modern Trek that does that for me are the scores for ST:TMP, STII:TWOK and TNG’s: The Best of Both Worlds (Ron Jones, another fine composer, he!).

I think David Arnold would be a great composer for Trek, because his work is very thematic. I love the Stargate soundtrack for example.

Someone is going to have to step up to the plate to make this happen.

To Mike, Dave, and Denise- You guys are not only a class act but a shining example that the future of Trek is in good hands. Thanks!

The Logan’s Run discs, the Conquest of the Planet of the Apes disc…excellent stuff!

Yes, I’m the Jeff Bond from FSM–and I do hope to see more classic Trek out there someday–there’s lots of music left. FSM won’t be the one to release it if it happens though.
