Thanks for the heads up. Got a copy.

The music was certainly the high point of this movie.

I love the score for Nemesis, I much prefer it over Insurrection and Generations and like it as much as First Contact.

Never really liked the Nemesis score. I thought it was the weakest and most unoriginal of the TNG films.

Not a bad score, but it was never on vinyl to begin with so there's nothing to legitimately gain in the first place. Like the Emperor when shopping for a new pair of underwear. Most vinyl re-releases are made from the digital archives and not the original analog sources anyway, further diluting an experience that NEM never had to begin with. Vinyl also has a far more limited lifespan, number of playbacks... and among other issues, let's just say the usual online search of "vinyl vs CD" points out some hilarious myths...

Most people who lived with records (anyone over 35) are more inclined to have hearing loss, which makes the debate even more amusing... especially when the highest ranges a human can hear are gone even during childhood... and while dolphins and bats and whales (oh my) can hear really low frequencies, humans can't... I doubt they give a flying leap about "Day Tripper" in the slightest either...

The Nemesis score is excellent. It was ambitious and fresh. I think after the humdrum of the Insurrection (which is think is easily the low point of his Star Trek career), Goldsmith really wanted to redeem himself and try new things.

Scorpion might be the best track in the TNG library, even over the FC theme which I've always found to be overly sentimental in an ill-fitting sort of way.

Totally agree, I thought the score for Insurrection was dreadful, and just sounded like he recycled the Total Recall score for half of it, the rest just being by the numbers late Goldsmith, which further cheapened an already cheap-feeling movie in my view. Nemesis just sounded more epic, more Trek to me.
