Favorite Ron Jones Score

[Armus]

Youtube has most if not all of Ron Jones's music that he made for TNG. I've been listening to one of my favorites of his scores. I love the opening music to "We'll Alway's Have Paris" where Picard is fencing and the Enterprise experiences a repeat in time.

Yes, what you are looking at is illegally uploaded material. The full scores, aside from some cues from "The Best of Both Worlds", to every episode Jones scored, was released as a multi-disc set from Film Score Monthly (carried by Screenarchives.com now). I would suggest to anybody reading my post who has the money and loves his scored enough to buy the set, to get it; it's not sold very well.

My review of the set for anybody that needs help deciding:

For me, cue for cue, the best score is hands down with no competition, "The Best of Both Worlds".

Other strong scores just below that include:
"Who Watches the Watchers?"
"Booby Trap"
"The High Ground"
"A Matter of Perspective"

Worthy nominations include:
"Up the Long Ladder"
"The Defector"
"Brothers"
"Data's Day"
"The Devil's Due"


Special mention to a score so unremarkable and annoying there isn't -- in my opinion -- a single cue worth hearing, "The Royale".

I want to buy Ron Jones's music and send it to Rick Berman, who fired him. I checked out your link and I really enjoyed your reviews of Jones's work.

"Up the Long Ladder" receives my vote

I'm not good with remembering scores, but I've always loved the Jazzy score in The Royale when Data is playing Craps. It's one of the reasons I love that episode more than others.

"Baby needs a new pair of shoes!" Fun.

Say what you will about the episode (and I liked that too), I've always loved the score to "The Naked Now". It's one I listen to the most out of that set.

The first season had some really great music. It's a shame that didn't continue.
