There's not much in the way of surprises in Jerry Goldsmith's fourth score for the Star Trek feature-film cycle (and second for the Next Generation incarnation), which isn't to say it's not a finely crafted piece of robust, action-adventure boilerplate. Unfortunately, the genre has come to rely on an orchestral palette that's about as subtle as a Klingon temper tantrum; divorced from its striking images and spectacular stunt sequences, it's often as inviting as Mahler on a Monday morning. Still, Goldsmith manages touches here that are as close to pastoral as the conventions allow, bookended by enough Wagnerian Sturm und Drang to push our Federation heroes on to victory once again. Goldsmith is responsible for some of the most inventive sci-fi and horror scores of the past 40 years (Planet of the Apes, the Omen trilogy, and The Twilight Zone among them), and the Trek cycle seems well enough entrenched for the producers to allow the composer at least as much adventure as they do the crew of the Enterprise. --Jerry McCulley

Par film for Trek, Awesome Score!.......2003-08-22

Star Trek: Insurrection is a great score overall. The flow to this CD is very enjoyable. Even though there was more music in the film that was not released on this album, you will enjoy Goldsmith's smooth transition between action cues and melodys. I love this score and I cannot put it away. This is some of Goldsmith's most fun work! I love all Star Trek scores, this one happens to be a favorite!

Goldsmith is the Star Trek king.......2002-11-28

After a successful score to Star Trek: First Contact, Jerry Goldsmith returns once again scoring his fourth Star Trek film, Star Trek: Insurrection, which is just as good as First Contact. "Ba'ku Village" opens with Alexander Courage's classic Star Trek fanfare, which segues into Goldsmith's new theme for the film which is a soft melody for strings, harps, and flutes. This theme occurs again in full form in "Children's Story", "The Healing Process", "New Sight", and the grand finale "End Credits". Goldsmith's action music, which is some of the best action music present in film scoring today is also featured. "Not Functioning" is a rip roaring action cue which features punctuating blasts of brass, dynamic strings, and electronic effects that has become a Goldsmith standard in Star Trek. Other great action cues are found in "The Drones Attack", "Riker Maneuver", and "No Threat" which move the score along in a driving fashion. As usual, Goldsmith puts all of the melodies together in "End Credits" to leave you with a positive feeling. A great score overall and one that is worthy of many more sequels.

Again, Goldsmith saves the Day!.......2002-09-09

Composer Jerry Goldsmith's third helming of a "Trek" film is a charmer. Both thrilling and poignant, this score enhances a rather routine story that is in need of some "life".

While the music is not up to par with Goldsmith's classic scores ("Patton", "The Sand Pebbles", "Planet of the Apes", "The Omen Trilogy" the first "Trek," and "Total Recall"), it is still a delight for fans and non-fans.

A little disappointing.......2002-05-20

Although I am a fan of Jerry Goldsmith's work, this soundtrack fell a little from my expectations. Although a few tracks are simply beautiful, surpassing the effect that "Star Trek: First Contact"'s main theme had upon me, overall, I felt that the soundtrack could do a little better.
Granted, the movie itself was a little dull, mainly focussing on moral issues than real action as First Contact did, and the music seemed to reflect it. Well written for the movie, it picked up on the love between Picard and Anij, and the playfulness of Data and Artim, while adding menacing tones and the triumph of the Enterprise in "The Riker Manuvere".
The beginning sequence was what turned me off the soundtrack to begin with, as it was a little too melodious for my liking, and "cutesy."
If a little short, the beautiful pieces like "Children's Story" and especially "New Sight" are worth getting the album.

The Most Pastoral Of Jerry Goldsmith's "Star Trek" scores.......2001-12-28

Thematically Jerry Goldsmith doesn't have much here that is a substantial improvement over his brilliant score for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" or the splendid score for "Star Trek: First Contact". Yet it is unquestionably his most pastoral, with a haunting theme for the peace-loving natives of the planet rescued by the USS Enterprise which sounds Brahmsian, almost Mahlerian, in its outlook. Without question, this is yet another elegant score composed by Jerry Goldsmith, which comes close to the musical heights attained by the first "Star Trek" score, and the scores for "Alien" and "Patton". Both Star Trek fans and cinematic music fans won't be disappointed with this CD.

Quite good, but not a stellar "Trek".......2007-05-18

Silva Screen Records has made a name for itself releasing reproductions of modern orchestral soundtracks, with most of its products centering around a particular genre or composer. Star Trek has a history of quality music, so its no suprise Silva has taken a crack at music in the final frontier. This is a fine release, with some strong points and some weak ones as well.

IN GENERAL: For the purist looking for a "best of" compilation taken from the original soundtracks take note: this isn't that product. Rather, these are reproductions by Nic Raine conducting the City of Prague Philharmonic. That said, this is a quality group, and the general sound is professional and comes off quite well (for the most part..I'll mention a few exceptions). It is superior to the other releases I have heard from the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.

SELECTION: The biggest advantage here is variety of sources. The Trek feature films are all represented here, as well as the various series (except for the last one, "Enterprise"). The thouroughness seems to match or excel the oher Star Trek Compilation CDs that have been released. There are a few other offbeat additions..notably a four minute suite from the videogame Star Fleet Academy. Personally, I found this bland track to be four minutes of wasted disk space. The original series has many memorable moments (listen to the Amok Time/The Doomsday Machine soundtrack) which would be be more exciting and also a better fit on this album.

Jerry Goldsmith's standard Star Trek March is heard far too often on these 2 CDs. The march itself is terrific, but it has been used so much it has become the franchise's major theme and the album's producers rely on it by representing many movies by their "End Titles". Unfortunately, Goldsmith's end titles consistently use a three-section approach: two sections of the "standard" Star Trek March sandwich a middle section of music that is unique for that particular film. This is OK if you are listening to a single movie's soundtrack, but for a compilation album, the fourth or fifth time you hear the march, it is too much. It would have been a better idea to cut a few "End Title" performances in favor of other selections from the films' soundtracks.

PERFORMANCE QUALITY: For the most part it is very good and captures the spirit of the original soundtracks. Selections from Horner's scores for the second and third films stand out as particularly well done. The last movie, "Nemesis" also has a terrifically arranged suite, and most of the movie soundtrack reproductions are very good quality. The only exception is from "Klingon Attack" in which the awesome bass of the "blaster-beam" from the original cannot be matched by the comparatively hollow synthesized atempt here.

PERSONAL GRIPE: the inclusion of sound effects. Every so often a special effect like "Warp Drive" or "Dogfight in Space" pops up between tracks. This by itself would be extremely cheesy. Add to this that these are not the actual sound effects from the TV shows or movies and the cheesiness levels reach a level I think only a Wisconsin resident could appreciate. Sci Fi music (and Star Trek in particular) seems to inspire some labels to add special effects inclusions like this. Who knows why.

Love The Soundtrack.......2007-04-03

I bought this soundtrack and I love it.A great edition to the star trek fans.

Best ST recording in the Alpha Quadrant.......2007-01-10

Great collection of Star Trek series and Movie themes; only a Klingon
Opera is missing.

I must disagree.......2005-07-17

I own all the original recordings, and I still enjoy this re-recording. It is good. It is better than the Cincinatti Pops "Symphonic Star Trek", it is better than the Richard Hayman "Star Trek" compilation from 89, its better than the Sci Fi compilation on the Edel label from 93 and for the most part is better than Varese's Ultimate Star Trek from 1998.

This collection has music you will not find anywhere else. The Tasha's Farewell track is beautiful and the only other place its avialable is the Edel "Best of Science Fiction" compilation from 1993, and while that was recorded by the same orchestra, it was with a different conductor, and comparing the two, you can tell that Nic Raine was more successful with Prague than William Motzing was. That said Edel release is also more than $30 here on amazon. Also this release is in HDCD Dolby which is a plus. There's also two cues from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; one of them is on The Best of Star Trek: 30th Anniversary Special, the other is not on any other album. In addition, there is music from Ron Jones "Starfleet Academy" video game which is pretty cool to listen to, and not availble anywhere else that I know of. Finally, Jerry Goldsmith's main theme can get boring after a while, I mean, its repetitive that it is in all the end credit suites, it would have been nice for Insurrection to have maybe an action cue instead of the end credits suite...And Nic Raine, did just that, only for Star Trek: Nemesis. Instead of the tradition end credit suite, Mr. Raine arranged a professional suite with the main Nemesis theme, some action cues, as well as the Goldsmith Star Trek march, and it is a wonderful 8 minutes. If you already have the 3 space and beyond albums, the Star Trek Nemesis track as well as Birds of Prey Decloaking from Star Trek III are the only new tracks on this CD.

This is a must-buy for fans of star trek in general, and hardcore star trek fans should buy this album for the aforementioned cues that aren't available anywhere else.

Middle-Trek.......2005-01-13

I rate this album as fair-to-middlin' for Trek score tributes.
After Star Trek: The Motion Picture's ground breaking and intensely serious dramatic score, the other Trek filmscores slide downhill somewhat and like the films themselves became less spectacular. Goldsmith himself never even re-captured the grandness of the first film's music and it shows in this album. The playing by the orchestra is fairly competent but it suffers a bit by being a smaller ensemble and these scores need at least 90 or 100 pieces to do them justice. Also the "Blaster Beam" instrument is so integral to a couple of the scores as to be alarming by it's absence. Only Craig Huxley and Micheal Stearns still use one as they built each-other's instrument in the late seventies.

What would have rescued this album from the admittedly 'high end' of mediocrity would have been if the producers could have recorded some of the missing cues from ST-1 and ST-2 and maybe a couple of the others.

This would have made it much more valuable to soundtrack collectors and Star Trek music buffs.

What we are left with is a nicely produced somewhat 'ho-hum' in an endless series of Trek music covers...

excellent compilation.......2005-08-15

I love this CD. I knew I was going to love it too, I have most of these tracks on other Varese CDs, but this collection puts them all in one place and makes for a wonderful listening experience. You have tracks from the original soundtracks recordings for The Matrix, Starship Troopers, Total Recall and the Abyss. In addition there is a number of re-recoded tracks from other Varese compilations. the RSNO conducted by Joel McNeeley (Judge Dredd, Independence Day), John Debney (Back To The Future II), Stu Phillips (Battlestar Galactica) and Frederic Talgorn (Star Trek: Insurrection, Star Wars Episode 1). In addation there is a track from Alex North's rejected 2001 score performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jerry Goldsmith. I would have preferred that they used the re-recorded tracks from Aliens and Total Recall from The Alien Trilogy and Frontiers respectively but this is still a great collection and I recommend it to sci fi fans everywhere.

I love the soundtrack.......2007-06-23

this is the work of belated Jerry Goldsmith and he wwas the master of the music in star trek. I just love listening to his star trek soundtracks. They are the best.

Not the definitive movie soundtrack.......2005-07-28

While this has some good tracks, it was purchased solely for the Baku village track, which is a delightful piece, and well worth listening to, especially if you're feeling a bit stressed.

I obviously felt it was worth buying for that track alone, so if you liked the film, (which I did enjoy), but maybe can't remember what the music was like, try to borrow a copy to listen to first, before you splash your hard earned cash.
