I love the next generation. Iv'e grown to love the characters and the stories. It's good to hear the music from one of the stories. Encounter at Farpoint is one of my favourite episodes. I've got them all on dvd. My favourite part in it is the Q character. I don't think the music stands by itself so much, but if your a fan of the show you'll love it.

A Must- Have for Trekkies Worldwide!,

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation: Music From The Original TV Soundtrack (Encounter At Farpoint) (Audio CD)
This cd is very good. It contains music from the pilot episode of Star Trek- The Next Generation, including the theme song. The music is very clear, without a lot of backround noise. It has provided many hours of enjoyable listening. I would recmmend this cd for all Star Trek fans. Also, check out the collection of Star Wars cds. They are really good too!

The original Star Trek had scores (pun intended) of strong and memorable melodies. That stupid Vulcan fight music alone is almost impossible to get out of your head once it's stuck there.
This tradition continued into the movies. Goldsmith's score for Trek I was a bit slow and dreamy, but quite good, especially the main theme. Trek II and III had outstanding soundtracks, and IV was quite good also. All four were good enough to motivate me to purchase the soundtrack albums soon after they became available.
Then came Star Trek: The Next Generation, and it totally reversed the trend. They re-used the Goldsmith theme from Trek I, which was great, but all the incidental music seemed flat and lifeless. None of it caught your attention, it just sort of existed on the edge of...Read more
