TOS Soundtrack?

[NCC621]

Different, yes. "Completely awful," perhaps in your opinion, but not mine. I recognize that there are differences, but the differences are mostly trivial to me. I have a several disks with rerecorded TOS music (Varese Sarabande and Label X) that I enjoy a great deal. Not only are they well done, but in most cases, the music is not otherwise available.

If it's not original, it's not original. I'm a purist.

While I understand your feelings, my personal feelings is that such an arbitrary attitude serves nothing. I'm aware of the differences, but I choose to enjoy it anyhow.

And that's fine if it works for you, bud. However, my choice of not wanting anything less than the original serves me quite well. I'd rather go without if necessary.

I have about half a dozen of the different album releases they did back in the 80s/early 90s. They're okay, but I'd love a complete collection of the original scores.

There was a guy who -- through painstaking effort -- put together a website containing a complete collection of every piece of music scored for the series. He organized it by episode, and then created a companion document listing every episode and the music scored for it. If an episode had tracked music, he indicated from which episode(s) the music originally came.

Unfortunately, I found out about this after he pulled the site down.

I don't know if it's the same guy or not, but someone ripped the various pieces of music from the DVDs (something about grabbing certain channels of the audio mix) and uploaded them to a torrent site about a year ago.

Sadly said site has since gone down, and I have no idea if they're still available anywhere.
