Really? I always thought Insurrection had a distinct, but slightly odd sound. It's probably because I'm more used to the recordings like on Williams' score, where you can distinguish small details better. Probably just me.
I usually think William's recordings have too much going on towards the high frequency end. Which explains the detail...and my poor ears when listening loudly.
To me Insurrection struck a nice balance in everything, especially "wetness" of sound.

The Riker Maneuver, Star Trek: Insurrection
This is not only one awesome action cue...but the quality of the recording is just phenomenal. Well, the acoustic quality of all of Insurrection's soundtrack is 99.9% perfect.

It's like the birds and the bees. The birds are on one end of the spectrum...the bees on the other...
and well...
yeah.

TPM was great in that it introduced a lot of great pieces, but because there was so much new stuff, a lot of it didn't get developed or taken anywhere...whether in TPM or the next two films

I put my vote in and then saw Temple of Doom...

Jerry Goldsmith.
-
It came down to Fawkes vs. Window to the Past vs. Hedwig's Theme
I went with Window to the Past, as it is the least neutral and most emotional of the three.
Other notable mentions include Harry's Wonderful World, Grievous, and Double Trouble.

ESB...
Because the Carbon Freeze track is one of the only 3 tracks in any soundtracks that I can listen to over...and...over...and over...and over again without it ever getting old. It's a track that makes me feel in the mood for it.

A Beautiful Mind....if you're doing anything that requires lots of brain usage. It just seems to...make the brain flow.

Could someone define slither for me?
Strings playing between notes very...very...very fast.

Anyone know how often Johnny's had run ins with such tight deadlines, and how many times they've been successes?

This man gave me one of my most exciting and agonizing summers ever....
Waiting for The Best of Both Worlds, Part II, after part I...was just...wow.
Great writer, great producer, and many brilliant creative minds owe their careers to him...
He will be missed.
Rest in peace, Michael Piller. :cry:

I wish there was the tradition of Halloween back here.
There's a darker side to Halloween....
But as the old proverb goes...
Tradition travels best on miles of unrolled toilet paper.
We'll be sure to send some over.

The score is certainly growing on me...it's a fine effort. I think I'll bump it up to a 7.5/10.

Playing Ave Satani at a Church Halloween party is not a wise thing to do.
Ask my former self on October 31, 1997.

The Twilight Zone The Movie. Dooo dooo----yeah...

Cauliflower, Blumenkohl, Bloemkool, Chou-fleur, Cavolfiore, Coliflor, you name it.

The moment I decide to post here...things get...eerie.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Stealing the Enterprise" from STIII.
It's easily one of the most consistently interesting eight and a half minutes of music ever.
-
His music is somewhat becoming "more of the same"...I'll give you that.
But it's still more of the same good stuff. He's still got it...
Star Wars was great, what's wrong with a few variations of great?
-
What makes this guys opinion so great?
Neil
The fact that he's about the only one who gives an opinion on soundtracks on a regular basis?
Favourite "Star Trek" Theme?
