Apparently, there's going to be a soundtrack to the show, including the "Blue Skies" as sung by Isa Briones. Does anyone know if it will also be released on CD?
Soundtrack!
- Thread starter Admiral Jean-Luc Picard
- Start date
I'll hold out for the eight-track.
ITDUDE, got a thing against CD's? Don't need the internet to play them.

Don't need the internet to play music once you have it downloaded. BUT according to Daily Star Trek News, eventually yes, there will be a physical release.
Music takes up space on my phone. It's a lot easier to lug around a CD instead of my laptop.
Or, you could lug around hundreds of CDs' worth of music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_media_player
I really only listen to music at home and in the car. I mostly use Pandora radio or music CD's. Yes, you can download music, but I personally think CD's sound better.
Anyway, back to Picard. Any idea when the CD might be released?

Is there a reason it wouldn't be released on CD? I mean, the Disco soundtracks were released on CD and vinyl, so why wouldn't Picard's?
DSC's Season Two is not (yet) on CD.
I understand vinyl. CD... not so much
Did my ears miss it or does the final soundtrack not include the music when Riker's fleet arrives in the season finale?
I was also hoping for the music right before Seven of Nine beams back down to the Stardust City to kill Bjayzl. I didn't hear that either.

I had an entire collection of Trek soundtracks on vinyl until the arrival of ST VI, when CD became the primary media. I kept the vinyl out of nostalgia but now I have an entire collection of Trek soundtracks on CD, having also rebought everything on CD.
My computer ripped any CD I played on my computer into iTunes, and I mostly played them from there. All of those copies vanishes somewhere "in the iCloud" in a recent Mac update. I am told I can retrieve them all easily - including radio interviews I had featured in and other music rarities - but, so far, no luck.
I am not done with collecting CDs.
Now go listen to your vinyl collection and compare to CDs. You’ll chuck all the CDs right out the window.
You were hearing right, they DIDN'T include the Starfleet arrives theme. Some reason, they explicitly excluded that, and that's the soundtrack I wanted to hear the most. That and the Voyager theme heard when Seven comes back on the Borg cube piling dead bodies.
That musical cue can be heard in the last 20 seconds of the "Leaving The La Sirena" track. At least they included that.
Look, I had to live through the days when vinyl was the thing. Most American vinyl sounded like shit on first listen (which is why I paid out crazy money in the late '70's to get the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Who catalogs on British or Japanese import, which were markedly superior.) By the fifth play, it was even worse - noticeably degraded. By the 50th, it was unlistenable. The Ball company (the mason jar folks) actually marketed a vinyl preservative called Discwasher that you would spritz on your new records to (allegedly) keep them sounding newer.
Prerecorded tapes (8-track and cassette) were worse.
My procedure upon acquiring a new vinyl album, say, "Parallel Lines", in 1978, was to IMMEDIATELY record it to a high-end cassette and rarely play the vinyl again. That made it possible to play on the aftermarket Pioneer tape deck in my 1966 Mustang, and saved the vinyl from being destroyed immediately. Did Discwasher help preserve it? I have no evidence either way.
When CDs debuted in '81 or '82, I was mesmerized. The first CD I ever bought, Roxy Music's "Avalon" still sounds awesome. The vinyl 12" I bought of the same album at roughly the same time doesn't. Both are something like 38 years ago.
As a legitimate Boring Old Fart, the fetishization of vinyl is completely incomprehensible to me. Digital sounds better and lasts forever (well, at least a lot longer). What am I missing?
Nope.
Actually, I hate the crackle of LPs. Took me a long time to enjoy the switch to CD - the soundtrack to "The Abyss" was the first to not come out on LP here Down Under - but when I went back to the LPs for a while, I found I resented having to get up halfway through to flip the record. Very disrupting when using them as background when writing, or during a gathering.
