I can't wait to hear Disc 2. "Spock's Brain" is Steiner's most brilliant, lush, passionate score, as if he were trying to compensate for the flaws of the episode. Possibly my favorite cue in all of TOS is the one when McCoy uses the Great Teacher -- which I guess would have to be "Magic Helmet #2."

Oh, and you even have "Maiden Wine!" Nimoy gets another royalty. And I take it that "The Frog" is written by Courage, since there's no other credit or "Traditional" notation?

Nothing on these two discs has been officially released in any version; however, some of the "Way to Eden" songs are heard on the infamous 1975 Trek Bloopers bootleg album from "Blue Pear Records." I don't recall which songs are included, but one of the track titles mentions "Hey, Out There." The album was compiled from discarded on-set audio recordings, so the songs are from filming sessions where the performers were singing along with the playback of the pre-recorded songs in order to get lip-sync. So the audio isn't very good there.

That episode's Meet Kara is one of my favorite cues from the entire series; it was used again in "Requiem for Methuselah" after Spock destroys the robot which threatened Kirk. Lovely music.

Not long now. The producers already have their copies, per their facebook postings.

And on Monday night, the fun begins.

[Christopher]

Wow, season 3 had really long scores, didn't it? We've got only two scores out of six so far that were under 30 minutes, and two that are over 37 minutes. And there aren't any partial scores like in seasons 1-2. Everything's either a full new score or a finite amount of source music (with the exception of the brief "Headin' Out to Eden" instrumental reprise).

[GSchnitzer]

So, is the "Like Hail" cue the "stiff man puttin' my mind in jail" 'song' that Napier sang?

[Indysolo]

Yep!

In the second of our interviews with the producers who worked on this set, TrekCore talks to Lukas Kendall about the Star Trek TOS Soundtrack Collection:

http://www.trekcore.com/merchandise/...askendall.html

Plus - 5 new sample tracks included!

[Christopher]

Film Score Monthly is closing down? What a shame. Will it still be possible to obtain the albums they produced through some other source?

Great selection of samples on this interview. Oh my gods, "Kirk's Philosophy." I was literally weeping with joy as I listened. All of Star Trek's optimism summed up in a single cue. "Risk is our business! It's what this starship is all about! It's why we're aboard her!" Some very powerful moments in "I Know That Voice" and "Chekov Gets Killed" too.

[TREK_GOD_1]

"Zap the Spaceship"

The memories!!!

[Indysolo]

I was interviewed by Tim Burden for his radio show Movie Magic. You can hear it (and more importantly an all new sample!) 37 minutes into the show here: http://soundcloud.com/timburden/movi...mber-1st-2012/

[Christopher]

Aha, so Fried's theme in Duning's scores does get a credit, as expected. I hadn't expected the "Requiem" Brahms paraphrase to be on Disc 4, though. And I was wrong about the ordering of the Duning scores. This leaves "And the Children Shall Lead" for Disc 5, which is kind of an anticlimax, the least impressive score of the season. Hopefully there will be enough cool extras and surprises there to make up for it. But what else could there be by this point? I think we've got all the source music now -- the Orion dance, the "Way to Eden" and "Plato's Stepchildren" songs, the Brahms.

And this should be the last disc that has any previously released content, although only in new performances. Label X Vol. 1 included a suite from "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" arranged for the album by George Duning himself and conducted by Tony Bremner, and selections from "The Empath" were on Varese Sarabande Vol. 2 conducted by Fred Steiner. Cues that have not had a previous version released are:

ITITNB:
Enter Marvick
My Life Is Here/I Must Know/Starship Party
Unknown Void
What Is Ugly?/Why?
Mind Link/Spock—Kollos
Hero Spock
Don’t Move/Spock Out

"The Empath":
Starship Again/Nova Phase/What Happened?
Lost Trio
The Vians/Kirk Stunned/Force Field
Slow Motion Kirk
One Specimen/Kirk Tortured/Kirk’s Agony
Vians’ Threat
How’s It Going/Spock’s Hypo
Gem Wistful
Poor McCoy/Bedside Manner/No Interference
Don’t Touch Me
Off Again

Typos on the earlier albums: "Marvick Pleads" is "Marvick Pleades"; "Marvick Berserk" is spelled "Beserk"; "Vians' Farewell" is "Vian's Farewell." Neither album acknowledges the incorporation of Fried's "Mr. Spock."


Thanks for the interview link, Neil. Good to hear more about the process. I've heard that Pops arrangement of the Courage theme before, I think on the Cincinnati Pops album Star Tracks with Erich Kunzel conducting. I think it may have debuted there and been picked up by the Boston Pops later, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, good track selection from "Enemy Within." I really like the first part of "An Impostor." What's interesting, though, about "Bruised Knuckles" -- and really a lot of the "Enemy Within" score -- is that I tend to think more of "Arena" when I hear it, and I'm probably not alone there.

[Indysolo]

I actually think of the teaser to "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" when I hear "An Impostor".
