crocodile 7,984 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I don't know. I didn't bother with the second disc. The first one is all I need.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 But...why the awkward phrasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Holdo 16 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yeah Steef, I was wondering about that choice of phrasing too. If they did take it from the existing CD, it doesn't sound TERRIBLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think it's safe to assume that for the second disc they used the original master that was used for the original release and just remastered it.It is a bit awkward wording I agree but the point is it's just the same as the old OST but remastered. Just to point out though, some cues on the second disc though are alternates, particularly "The Last Chance For Peace" and "The Final Count".

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Just listened to this for the first time.I have always thought this was a cracking score, without giving it the masterpiece statsus that some have granted it.I love Eidelman's themes, from his agressive war and Klingon material to his meanclolic and uplifting Enterprise themes.The desicsion from him and Meyer to go from the more usual sweepiong and optimistic main title music to something more darker and malevolent really pays of in the film. While the opening is just the usual names in front of a starfield, the music really puts you on the edge of you seat. (the explosion that follows is a great release).There is not a lot of action in this film, so a lot of the music underscores dialogue or creates suspense. Eidelman does manage to keep his music reasonably interesting while not calling too much attention to itself.When he does gets to do some action music, Eidelman shows he's pretty good at it. (though in no way a specialist like Goldsmith or Horner). His music is fastpaced and fierce. But during the final battle I always did he feel was unable to outdo Horner's Mutara Nebula cue. A Battle For Peace often feels too much like it's stopping and starting, stopping and starting. (I know the sequence switches from the planet to the space battle several times, but musically I always felt it was a bit ungainly)The best material is right at the end. Eidelman's Sigh Off cue has exactly the right tone. I love his quatation of the Courage fanfare to punctuate Spock's final lines. The soft, whistfull theme when Kirk does his final log entry, that builds into a climax when The Enterprise flies itself into a nearby star...His music for the signatures is even better. It's an event piece, Meyer and Eidelamn aren't afraid to go big. The final moment with Kirk's signature and the Courage fanfare is splendid.This is quite a short score, under an hour. Ther OST certainly had all the highlights (apart from Guess Who's Coming arguably). So this new release isn't the eye opener that Trek V was.
