La-La Land Records to release 4-disc DS9 soundtrack set!

Oh, I think there's some awesome stuff in the "Emissary" score. The piano solo in "Passage Terminated" is very beautiful.

A lot of the DS9 theme quotes are also quite beautiful in "Emissary." The Wolf 359 material also has its moments (even if the synth choir reminds me of "The Best of Both Worlds" and doesn't come anywhere close to matching that score).

Luckily for me La-La Land 'conveniently forget' to declare the value of their packages, so so far I am yet to be caught out buying their releases. I hope I haven't just jinxed it!

It is never, ever a good idea to blurt out something like this. I know for a fact that customs people are lurkers on various message boards.

Seems a bit paranoid, but I get your point. I can edited my post, but I can't do much about removing it from your quote.

If the scores have already been licenced out to other labels, like GNP Crescendo, I don't think LLL will be able to re-use them. Be prepared for Emissary and The Visitor to be absent from this release.

Actually the recently released TNG album featured a couple of cues previously released on a Best of ST Album (McCarthy's All Good Things...), so that doesn't seem to be a problem.

I think we should just simmer down and wait till a track list is released. Either way we're going to be getting another album of great Trek music. I hardly see how that is anything other than a win for everyone - La-La Land and the fans.

Any news from Comic Con? They were saying they would have additional information at their booth.

I hope this set only features music by McCarthy and Chattaway. David Bell always reused his own material and If you look up the term sonic wallpaper in the dictionary you'll find a picture of Paul Baillargeon.

I read somewhere that La-La Land was set to make a big announcement sometime today. But I haven't seen anything as to what it is.

There's a thread in Gen Trek about Trek music started by IndySolo. In it, I posted an update I saw from La-La Land the other day.

As for the DS9 set specifically, I thought the track listing had been announced at Comic-Con?

Well, I could defend Bell and Baillargeon, but that's a matter of opinion. So I'll just point out that there were a few other composers for DS9. John Debney did "The Nagus" and "Progress," Richard Bellis did "The House of Quark," and Gregory Smith did "The Assignment," "Honor Among Thieves," and "Field of Fire." Although Debney is the only one of those whose work I remember as distinctive.

Well, it turns out the big announcement today doesn't have to do with this set...

It has to do with something better. A complete score release from the original series.

Wow. Reactions in the other thread.
