There should be a GREAT 45th Anniversary Trek 2-CD/SACD/Vinyl Set with music from The Cage, Where No Man Has Gone Before, a few selections from TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, selections from films 1 to 11 and a special audio message from both Leonard Nimoy and Rod Roddenberry about Gene and Majel as a BONUS!!! That would be truly COOL! :D

Star Trek LIVES!!!

This is a pretty bland piece of music and not at all what I would expect from Giacchino. Frankly I can’t believe Paramount is using it as the sole piece of music on the official website. I can’t find the mute button fast enough. It’s bland and derivative-sounding, with no sense of character or uniqueness that inspires images of a huge new film. The generic trailer music is far more inspiring.

I’m enjoy his work on LOST, given that he crafts some very effective stings and transitions which are often short and to the point and serve the series well (I noticed a CD with 75 minutes of his LOST score on Varese Sarabande, but I cannot imagine a fate more painful). He may well be in over his head with this one. But audiences don’t really care anymore. In fact I can’t believe studios still spend the kind of money they do on orchestral scores. There will be so much eye-candy and loud sound effects, this uninspiring, ambiguous score is likely the only part they will hear clearly enough to scrutinize.

I’d laugh if the whole score was just “silent movie” style piano music

Been done already.

#108 – Me’thinks that’s exactly what happens to Spock Prime when he plays the new soundtrack in his jellyfish ship.

How else would you explain that nasty collision with the Narada…? ;-)

The piece of music from the site is really cool, I think. I have to say the music from trailer number 3 is powerful. I was bummed to learn that it wasn’t officially the score.
