Giacchino's score for the newest movie just plain rocks. All 15 tracks on the soundtrack are a joy to listen to.
 
I think overall TWOK has the best score, but the music from the Final Frontier, the kind of wistful music heard during Kirk's mountain climb, etc is just great.

Disagree on TWOK(movie easily outclasses even the really good Horner score), but you're right on TFF. A lame movie graced with one of the best sci-fi soundtracks of the last 20 years.
 
I noticed many of you listed The Motion Picture's Soundtrack as their #1 favorite. Oddly, this is one that i do not own. So I went online looking for it and it appears to be out of print. Best Buy shows a 20th anniversary edition...does anyone know if this is worth buying?

Or does anyone know where i can find the original?

Thanks!

Isn't the 20th anniversary edition available in Amazon.com. It says in stock. Also you can download it to MP3 player for $17 dollars. Also you can look for it in Youtube. I recommend buying 20th anniversary edition over the original(less tracks).

Scott, so you have the 20th edition? I guess i'll take a shot and buy that one. Im still way too retarded to download music. I'll probably figure out all this new technology when i am too old to see/hear/care!

Thanks for the input!
 
I have the TMP soundtrack on original 1979 vinyl and the cassette that came out a few years later...but not on CD oddly enough.

I still have my TMP soundtrack (LP) too..you ought to start a thread for ranking the SOUNDTRACKS covers...and likewise..rank the movie posters..In Both cases I would go with TMP

Yes i have the 20th edition. I bought it from Amazon 2 years ago. I recommend it over the original coz it has extra eight full tracks of previously unreleased material. The 20th edition is nearly twice the running length of the Original version released in 1979.
 
NEMESIS doesn't even get love for its music.:lol: Sad, really. Aside from some of the franchise's best space f/x that movie must rank dead last or close to it in almost every conceivable category.

Umm...it ranks near the bottom in FX for me too. I think the CGI in both Insurrection and Nemesis is awful, and very cartoony looking. Considering PHANTOM MENACE came out BEFORE Nemesis, I expected better CGI.

I can't really remember a lot of the music, But the most memorable has to be First Contact's theme.

I actually DID like that opening sequence music. I am somone who actually thought TMP's music was overused..from TMP to TNG to FINAL FRONTIER to whatever else it was used for.
