Summary: Great music for inspiration 2004-04-14
Comment: Whenever I need a little bit of inpiration, I just play my Voyager theme single. It reminds me of the bravery of the crew of the Enterprise. It also reminds me how brave today's astronauts are. I enjoyed the main title song so much that I have used it as an example for a signal filtering assignment in my class at Colorado State University. I have asked my students to perform a number of matlab tests and apply filters upon this signal. I think it will inspire my students to succeed so they may one day help mankind reach the stars.

Summary: Nice Presentation of One of TV's Most Memorable Themes. 2004-03-14
Comment: All of the instrumental "Star Trek" theme songs are excellent, but I have always found Voyager's theme to be the most moving. So I wanted as long a version of it as I could find. This CD gives us 2 minutes, 11 seconds of Voyager's Main Title, original version, composed by Jerry Goldsmith, whereas the "Caretaker" Soundtrack CD has 1 minute, 45 seconds of the main theme. "Star Trek: Voyager Main Title" also offers Pop and Synth versions of the theme, both arranged by Jerry Goldsmith's son, Joel Goldsmith. The Pop version clocks in at 3:07 and is surprisingly good. The snappier, upbeat interpretation loses less impact than I would expect, and the extra length is nice. At first, I didn't care much for the Synth version, which is by far the longest of the three at 4:56. But now I've decided that it's the first minute and a half of it that I don't like. That segment isn't entirely recognizable as Voyager's theme and is oddly and unpleasantly meandering. The remainder of the Synth version grew on me, though, and I now find it memorably haunting. If Voyager's Main Title is the only part of the score you want, this CD will give you a little more of it than the "Caretaker" soundtrack. If you have "Caretaker" and can't get enough of Jerry Goldsmith's beautiful score, this will be a welcome addition. Either way, I recommend "Star Trek: Voyager Main Title" to Voyager fans. Voyager's theme is one of the best in television history, and this CD showcases it nicely.

Summary: Beautiful Music 2002-02-20
Comment: My husband and I love this CD. The more we play it, the more we like it.We have a baby who is now 16 months old who has liked the Voyager theme song since he was an infant. He will stop in the middle of a tantrum to listen to this music. We bought the CD so that we could play it any time we need to. Works so far!

Summary: This one's a must. 2000-09-04
Comment: I bought this CD mainly because I was curious as to how a pop version of the Voyager theme would sound. My money was not wasted - it's great. I would love to see a music video of this on MTV with Janeway and Chakotay dancing around the bridge - any Paramount execs here...? As another reviewer said, this one track alone is worth the cost of the disc.

Summary: Wow! My new demo disc! 2000-08-18
Comment: Forget Telarc Digital's 1812 Overture. Forget Eric Clapton Unplugged. This is my new demo disc. Every audiophile who want's to show off their expensive amps and speakers needs this disc. The first track (Joel's Pop Mix) is the most impressive, and worth the price of the CD alone. With its wonderfully clean recording, the horns and electric guitar are crisp and sharp, and sound amazingly great at loud volumes. The next two tracks share the recording quality, and a bright and crisp all the way through. You wouldn't think there are so many subtleties to such a simple arangement, but once you play Jerry's extended version, you can really tell performers are getting into their parts. I recommend this disc highly, and at the price, you can't go wrong.
