True, and I agree. But IMO, a successful ressurection of Trek, or any franchise, involves taking what is good from the original, throwing out the bad, seamlessly putting in necessary updating (harder than it sounds) and putting it all together. You must bring it to a new audience without, ideally, alienating most older fans.
The best of these manage to do it. The new Doctor Who series is a great example. The James Bond series has done it, as has Batman.
Battlestar Galactica had it's own approach, but is far more problematic. I understand the issues, as I thought there was far less salvagable with it, and what they did salvage, many of the older fans weren't satisfied with. I was, but that controversy continues to this day.
Me, I was hoping the new Trek would take a Who-esque approach, as I thought it would be best. And it seems it leans in that direction, but it's a LITTLE more radical.
But even Galactica has it's salutes and nods to the original. And this includes the EXCELLENT music, which is one of the few undeniably good elements of the original. It gets nods here and there.
Trek should do no less, and probably a little more.

Those clips were awful - everything I feared from this composer, whose best works are horribly dull. Rick Berman would be thrilled to use this music on TNG; it's dry, bland, elevator music designed to fit into the background, with little artistic value on its own.
I was all pumped up for this movie, but the more spoilers I read, and the more information that comes out (like these clips), the less inclined I am to bother seeing it at all. <sigh>

Which it is.
TOS theme. Bombastic score.
We could have gotten taiko drums and bagpipes instead.
One of the many reasons I'm looking forward to it. I fully expect it to kick my Trek fan ass up between my ears and me to say, "Thank you, Captain Robau, sir, may I have another?"
THE WOMEN!
PS. The drums and bagpipes on BSG worked.

I don't have the best ear for music, but I think the first selection, "Nero Sighted," is reminiscent of the TOS fight music. You all know what I'm talking about.
Try this with 'Nero Sighted', though: rather than the 'Amok Time' fight music, imagine it with the ominous, 8-note repeating figure from 'The Doomsday Machine' dropped into the mix.
There's bongos. Have a listen to the section of the theme on the official website.
Music from Star Trek score
There are some music clips from Michael Giacchino’s Star Trek score are now online. I've heard that the end title incorporates the theme from the original television series.
