Faleel 5,345 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Which score do you prefer?I prefer Star Trek V, First Contact has too much suspenseful (and most times forgettable) underscore for me.The Mountain Vs. First Contact Main Titlehttps://www.youtube....h?v=DsRwg0Mul7Avs. Lets Get Out of Here vs. Resistance is Futile!https://www.youtube....h?v=bd0S5cvZKAUVs. (at 11:15)Raid on Paradise Vs.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I like FC but Trek V is better. Its a real classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I like FC but Trek V is better. Its a real classic.Agreed.First Contact is a bit better listening experience for the album compared to Star Trek V. However, in complete form Star Trek V gets my vote.

tharpdevenport 4 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I could not vote.I could only do the first question, since with the second, I consider both scores to be on equal playing fields (though different efforts).The poll would not let me cast a vote unless I did both questions.For the OST one, I was going to go with First Contact, simply because The Final Frontier has that aweful Moon song and reminds me of that terrible, terrible, horrible, unforgivable scene in the film. While "Magic Carpet Ride" is an excellent song, and the other okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneBuckFilms 319 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I enjoy Star Trek V slightly better. But this is very close for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Holdo 16 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Yeah, First Contact's OST is a better listen than the complete score (with a few exceptions, Joel Goldsmith's climax cue primarily).Final Frontier is the better score though, and the LLL expansion makes it shine.

tharpdevenport 4 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thank you, voted!The most perfect Trek OST would probably have to be (minus the special editions, I'm talking the originals) TWoK (even though it sounds like a tin can at times).

John Crichton 4 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I go back and forth between these two all the time on which I like better. They're so close, it's totally mood dependent. No vote from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 For the OST one, I was going to go with First Contact, simply because The Final Frontier has that aweful Moon song and reminds me of that terrible, terrible, horrible, unforgivable scene in the film. While "Magic Carpet Ride" is an excellent song, and the other okay.The Hiroshima song is far more tolerable on album than in the film because it's at least a real song by a real band that I've seen in the discount bin. Nichelle Nichols' singing.....not so much. As far as 80s pop songs go, I've heard far, far worse than TMAWTH.I love the action-mode Enterprise theme in the FC complete score when the Phoenix flies past the Enterprise. That and The Dish make the album for me.I go back and forth between these two all the time on which I like better. They're so close, it's totally mood dependent. No vote from me.They really are great companion scores to each other. Adapting the four-note friendship theme to be Picard's theme helped, I guess.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Not to mention making the Klingon theme heroic for Worf.I prefer V. FC needs a happy medium between OST and complete. 'A Quest For Vengeance' is amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 In First Contact it has no specific character or situation associated with it. Since Goldsmith was under time pressure I assume he just lifted this fairly non specific theme from trek 5 as a time saver.Officially it's not in Insurrection, though one might argue that the action motif of that film (the US Marshalls theme) is an adaptation of it.

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I have yet to read those liners. I couldn't even tell you where the jewel case and discs are more specifically than "my bedroom back home." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It's been too long since listened to First Contact in OST form. But I'd probably have to say The Final Frontier on both counts.And those liner notes are great. I hadn't previously realized how much the quest theme and Sybok's theme were woven into the score (even on just the OST selections). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,513 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 "Star TreK: V", versus "Star Trek"???!!!Are you lot having a giraffe???!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't previously realized how much the quest theme and Sybok's theme were woven into the score (even on just the OST selections).The OST heavily favours music from the latter half of the film, meaning the Quest theme is featured a lot. i think I'm right in saying that Sybok's theme can only be heard in Open The Gates and a small cameo in An Angry God.I love the way that in the complete score The Quest Theme takes over from Sybok's theme.
