Star Tre VI: TUC Score Release

I've been listening to it in the car, but I do need to sit down and play it proper at home. Such a great score; very outside the norm for the franchise, but awesome nonetheless.
 
I'm really loving these re-issues. My only small bugbear is the tendency to combine certain cues into single tracks, e.g. The Trial/Morally Unjust Evidence from TUC. I've been spending time editing them back into individual pieces. Not a major inconvenience, but it takes more than simply splitting the WAV's - the judicious application of fade and reverb is often required to give them that "professional" shine!
 
Any reviews from listeners here yet? I'm divided on this. This is an excellent score, right up there with Goldsmith & Horner's best contributions to the series, but I'm not sure that there's enough new material for me to cough up $30 once shipping is included. I'd love to hear recommendations from those who have the original release, as to whether it is worth purchasing the new release or not.

Thanks!

If you enjoyed the previous re-issues this one is certainly on a par. I say go for it! :techman:

Slightly off topic, does anyone have any info reference which Trek soundtrack is next up for a makeover? I'm really hoping for a complete all singing and dancing release of TMP!
 
I got the new CD a week or two ago. I've listened but haven't studied it for comparison.

I haven't compared track-by-track, but initially I'm not hearing a lot of music that I've missed from the original CD release, or at least I'm not recognizing it. With TWOK and TSFS and TFF CDs, I knew the new music that I'd been missing. But this is just from casual listening, not in-depth track analysis.

I guess I'm not disappointed with the new TUC CD, but I'm not delighted as I was with the other recent ST releases.

And seven times out of ten I end up putting TMP score on anyway.
 
Oh, I'm aware, but the image is priceless...or pricelessly horrifying, as we're talking about both Shatner and Nimoy "singing".

Now I really want a musical production of TMP - just imagine it, a dancing Ilia in her shower suit singing to happy ditty "That Which Seeks The Creator", it could be gold!
