Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 If it were me I'd take the gamble. Pretty much no releases, even the big ones, sell through that quickly anymore. My calculus is probably different though since I can easily order through a 3rd party seller like Screen Archives and I'm guessing that's not as simple a switch for you living on the planet's underbelly But.... crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like ST isn't a big enough property to where there's feasibly enough fans to warrant the high amount of units being ordered and sold.

GerateWohl 4,409 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Meanwhile I digged into some of the Star Trek movie scores, and even though I will never become a fan of that main title march (Goldsmith is almost good at everything except at doing the Williams) there are great scores in that series. But I see the Goldsmith scores above all the others, that I listened to. I can't do anything with Horners scores or McCarthy's Generations. For me it is just Goldsmith here.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 That is. Shame. I hold Star track the motion picture above all other Goldsmith scores. However warners scores for wrath of Khan and search for Spock are amazing in their own right they're exciting emotional gut-wrenching everything that Goldsmith scores are.

Popular Post Andy 4,160 Posted February 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2022 All of the Star Trek movie scores have merit, even Trek IV. TMP unquestionably raised the bar to an "epic" level sound with the full orchestra and his special magic. And Horner did great with his duology. Rosenman's score is, well, Rosenman, but there is some lovely complexity in the whale fugue, and dammit, Jim I just love the Main Title. Eidelman's VI gets a lot of love, and with good reason. It may not be wholly original, but it is a solid listen. I like Generations. McCarthy still has TV scoring sensibilities, but I'm a sucker for his noble melodies. Jerry's return for V, and the TNG movies never felt as grand, and the performances were somehow thinner, cheaper sounding. But there's good fun to be found, even in Nemesis. As for the rest of the Trek I personally listen to... Dated as they are, the TOS scores are pretty damn amazing in their own spectrum of dramatic scoring. It may be hard for listeners to separate them from the colorful sets and 60s TV aesthetic, but that 15CD box gets a lot of play from me. There are wonders in there. Any one of those composers would have done fine work on a Trek Movie if given the opportunity, as even Steiner proved with his TMP contributions. We think of the TOS scores as "old" compared to TMP, but they were only about 12 years old when Jerry scored TMP. Giacchino's 2009 score is just as "old" today.

bruce marshall 1,318 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 If you don't dig the MAIN THEME it's hard to get into the scores. Which is why I like Horner better than JG; V and VI better than TMP. Weird? Maybe😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,160 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 It is interesting ... I'm not a music scholar, but if you deconstruct Horner's Main Theme, it is structurally a reworking of the phrases of Goldsmith's theme, with the notes and time signature shifted. Probably common knowledge and surprising to nobody. And furthermore, if you deconstruct Goldsmith's theme (revised after Robert Wise didn't like his first theme), it is remarkable similar in structure to Williams' Star Wars Main Title. Again, I'm not a music scholar, but you could probably play them at the same tempo in counterpoint with each other and they'd line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first big screen voyage of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock was a high budget and ambitious undertaking that introduced Goldsmith’s famous and enduring Star Trek march (later used as the main theme for Star Trek: The Next Generation) as the cornerstone of an epic science fiction musical odyssey. Like the film’s refit starship Enterprise, La-La Land’s lavish 2012 restoration presented the score anew: fully restored, remixed and mastered from the first generation multi-track masters by Bruce Botnick, the original album co-producer and Goldsmith’s long time scoring engineer. This new 2-CD edition is the official tie-in soundtrack to the forthcoming STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE: THE DIRECTOR’S EDITION, premiering this year on the Paramount Plus streaming service. Post-Production Supervisor/Associate Producer Mike Matessino co-produces the album with Botnick, handling restoration, editing and assembly of the music. This edition definitively presents the full film score on CD1, continuing through the start of CD2. The program now begins with the long version of the “Overture,” reflective of “The Director’s Edition,” with the short version heard in 1979 now kicking off a section of “Alternates” on CD2, which feature early versions of major score cues that were later reworked. Closing out the presentation is the enduring 1979 soundtrack album program, now re-created from the remixed first generation master material for consistent and superior sound quality throughout the set. Matessino collaborates with Jeff Bond on the thoroughly researched album notes, which feature interview excerpts by Goldsmith, Botnick and performers Craig Huxley and David Newman. The packaging and 28-page full color booklet are designed by Jim Titus and feature new images from “The Director’s Edition.” TRACK LISTING: CD 1 THE FILM SCORE 86:37 1 Overture 2:49 2 Main Title And Klingon Battle 7:02 3 Total Logic 3:54 4 Floating Office 1:07 5 The Enterprise 6:01 6 Malfunction 1:31 7 The Crew Briefing 2:12 8 Leaving Drydock (Film Version) 3:33 9 Captain’s Log – Warp One :49 10 No Goodbyes :54 11 Spock’s Arrival 2:04 12 Captain’s Log – Warp Seven 1:49 13 Meet V’Ger 3:04 14 The Cloud (Film Version) 5:05 15 V’Ger Flyover 5:03 16 The Force Field 5:06 17 Micro Exam 1:15 18 Games 5:35 19 Spock Walk (Film Version) 4:23 20 System Inoperative 2:03 21 Hidden Information 3:58 22 Inner Workings 4:04 23 V’Ger Speaks 4:05TOTAL TIME CD 1 77:45 CD 2 THE FILM SCORE (CONT’D) 1 The Meld And A Good Start 5:38 2 End Credits 3:15 ADDITIONAL MUSIC 29:10 3 Overture (Short Version) 1:42 4 The Enterprise (Alternate) 6:07 5 Leaving Drydock (Alternate) 2:40 6 No Goodbyes (Alternate) :57 7 Spock’s Arrival (Alternate) 2:03 8 Micro Exam (Alternate) 1:18 9 Games (Alternate Excerpt) 3:51 10 Inner Workings (Alternate) 4:38 11 The Meld (Alternate) 3:18 12 A Good Start 2:29 ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK ALBUM 40:36 13 Main Title / Klingon Battle 6:54 14 Leaving Drydock 3:33 15 The Cloud 4:59 16 The Enterprise 6:02 17 Ilia’s Theme 3:04 18 Vejur Flyover 4:59 19 The Meld 3:18 20 Spock Walk 4:21 21 End Title 3:20TOTAL DISC 2 TIME 78:45 TOTAL 2-DISC TIME 2:36:30 Music Composed and Conducted by JERRY GOLDSMITH Performed by The Hollywood Studio Symphony Raiders of the SoundtrArk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan 689 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 This is probably what you'd call the perfect expanded release of the score, were it not for the Sony release causing Mike and LLL to feel the need to include all the wrong takes released in 1999 on their 3 disc set (if I'm understanding that situation correctly?). Complete final score and all of the significant alternates plus a remastered OST. Had I missed the 3 disc set I'd be very satisfied with this release and delighted with the opportunity to get my hands on it.

Andy 4,160 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I will be buying this to support the label, because I love the score, I love the film, Jim Titus' new designs with images from the DE, and the minor upgrades in sound are enough for me. (I am secretly [not so secretly?] hoping Mike dialed back the reverb a tad, but that seems to be my personal hang-up, I freely admit it. One thing I treasure on the 3 CD is the Raw Takes of the Main Title. Just... GOLD, and a nice companion to the multiple takes of the Star WARS main title on the 1997 SE CD set.
