Summary: May not load to iTunes/iPod 2007-09-29
Comment: I like this CD a great deal. It is one of my favorite soundtracks. However, when I tried to load my copy to iTunes, the format wasn't compatible. Something weird about the "enhanced" CD thing. So, I'd suggest that if you want a CD to load to an iPod, you buy the mp3 download version.

Summary: Star Trek music at its best 2007-09-08
Comment: Being a fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars (contrary to popular theory, there are many of us that like both) Jerry Goldsmith's scores for Trek are second only to John Williams's scores for Star Wars. First Contact is my favorite Trek film due in no small part to the great music. The majestic theme is fantastic and the action sequences and the Borg music are simply awesome. Highly recommend for any Trek or Goldsmith fan.

Summary: Most Excellent - Recommended 2007-01-04
Comment: If you even have an inkling of affinity for Star Trek, I believe you'll like this soundtrack. I especially love the main title; it is very moving and powerful. I like that in movies, composers are able to develop musical themes far better than in a short TV episode. The Borg theme is absolutely perfect. The main title recurrs throughout the film. You notice it most when Picard shows Lily that she is in space, and then also when Cochrane greets the Vulcans. As others have mentioned, the Klingon theme is also brought back during battle, which I think is really great. All in all, I'd say this is a good buy.

Summary: Goldsmith, The King Of Star Trek! 2005-11-18
Comment: I have listened to several of the Star Trek Scores. My favorites are "First Contact" and "Insurrection." First Contact blends Insurrection style writing, with a little "Terminator." It is a classical, techno, cinema lovers dream score. The themes for the Vulcan first contact, Picard, and Lily are simply beautiful. While, the themes for the Borg queen and the drones are eerie, clangy, and downright perfect.
A really great CD. Joel did a good job too. Maybe now that Jerry's gone, he'll give us some more?

Summary: Goldsmith's 2nd Greatest Trek Score 2005-09-07
Comment: This score is right behind TMP (which wasn't a bad movie, really). One of the pluses is that the famous theme is only used twice on the album. In its place is a more traditional orchestral theme that has an epic quality to it, yet never feels pretentious.
I would have to say my favorite track is the first, Main Title/Locutus, not just because of the First Contact theme, but because we get to hear Joel Goldsmith's Locutus which is perfect for the opening pullback and subsequent handhelds. You can see the pullback in your head (If you've seen it before) when listening to it. (Yes, this may be overhyping.)
And you can't go wrong when Steepenwolf is there!
Overall, Jerry Goldsmith's 2nd best Trek Score (and thanks, in nosmall part to Joel.) Listen to it.
