Star Trek - The Next Generation: Original Soundtrack Recordings

Jay Chattaway has composed some nice scores for several TNG episodes on this soundtrack. Along with music from Tin Man, Sub Rosa, The Inner Light, and A Fistful of Datas, music from the episodes Dark Page, Descent, and Birthright can also be found on this CD. (By the way, the score from The Inner Light is different from the one on the 30th Anniversary CD.) My personal favorites? Well, I enjoyed the music from Dark Page and Sub Rosa the most, but the others are great as well.

If you loved Star Trek: TNG, you will love this CD. If you know nothing at all about the TV series, you may love it enough to want to see the show.

Spectacular combination of traditional orchestra and way out there space.

Star Trek returned to the small screen with a new cast and concept, together with a new title ~ "STAR TREK:THE NEXT GENERATION"---at the helm once again was Gene Roddenberry with new characters that captured the hearts of a new generation---the question of scoring was answered by Jay Chattaway...who did so well he replaced Ron Jones as a regular composer for the last four seasons.

Several highlights come to mind ~ "SUITE From TIN MAN"---"SUB ROSA"---"A FISTFUL OF DATAS"...the score for "THE INNER LIGHT", is a different arrangement than the 30th Anniversary Album---must make mention of "DARK PAGE", a truly wonderful and touching theme which underscores tender moments between Troi and her mother.

A big thank you to Neil Norman(executive album producer) and Mark Banning (associate executive album producer)---for this musical journey into the realm of space through the scoring talent of Jay Chattaway, gotta love it...Read more
