Summary: A Weaker Second Album But Still Good 2007-03-28
Comment: I was a little disappointed in the selection from the original series, I think the songs from Amok Time are better than the original series songs on this album. The album, however, does not disappoint once it gets to the DS9, VOY, and TNG tracks. They are either pulse pounding, retro during the Captain Proton songs and even beautiful when it is neither of the previous two. I also didn't care for the lounge mix version of the original series theme, it just didn't sound that good, but, you have to take that with a pinch of salt. If you like lounge music, you may enjoy it more than I did. However, I really loved that Visitor's version of the song "Fever" was thrown in as a "bonus track" according to the CD slipcase. She really shows her pipes and can really sing. I couldn't help but smile just thinking about the DS9 episode "His Way" while I was listening. Overall, this is a good buy, just not as good as the first record.

Summary: Star Trek Music as You've Never Heard It 2007-01-05
Comment:
Although all the music on this CD is terrific, the TOS music is especially compelling,the more so from an old fan like myself who knew the music was good even though, as a kid,I was hearing it from the small speaker of a tinny black and white televison set. From the "cubicle" xylophone and the sweeping violins of " The Suite from The Corbomite Maneuver" to the unforgettable trumpets of " Balance of Terror" to " The Suite from What are Little Girls Made of?" (which incidentally, is composed partly of the memorable musical opening to the main body of the episode, "Arena"). Full length, and with an awe-inspiring bass line that one could never really hear on that old black and white TV, these three selections alone are well worth the money!

Summary: 4 stars only for the TOS scores... 2002-06-25
Comment: The original series deserves better. While I love to hear all of the original series' music, I am disappointed in how little is really on this CD. Frankly, I want the complete music from the episodes such as "The Corbomite Maneuver", "Ballance of Terror", and so on... not just suites on an "Best of" CD. I am left both fulfilled and empty when I listen to this CD. "Fever", Nana's song, is just a waste of space on the CD which could have been put to much better use. If they wanted to have her sing, then do a separate CD like Nichelle. There is much more music that was left out of these fantastic episodes. While I don't mind the DS9 theme, it too is way too long and wastes space. The "Bride of Chaotica" is also just annoying, it works in the episode, but not here. The music from "All Good Things" also needs it's own CD. Again, the TNG theme is not needed. So, bottom line is buy it for the TOS themes, you do get and enjoy because it is very unlikely that GNP will get off of it's butt and release these in their full glory.

Summary: "sure to transport all followers into total enjoyment" 2001-12-06
Comment: Think you've heard it all---well, think again...GNP/Crescendo brings forth another compilation, simply out-of-this-world---"THE BEST OF STAR TREK VOL. 2", contains previously unreleased music by Courage...Steiner...Goldsmith...McCarthy...Chattaway and David Bell---this one-of-a-kind collection featuring suites and cues from---"STAR TREK:THE ORIGINAL SERIES"---"THE NEXT GENERATION"---"DEEP SPACE NINE"---"VOYAGER", all of which are good to superb representations of each episode through scoring---"THEME FROM STAR TREK-LOUNGE MIX", nice touch from the big band point of view---"FEVER", from "DEEP SPACE NINE" episode "HIS WAY", torchy rendition performed by Nan Visitor...David Bell's score for "BRIDE OF CHAOTICA", is something out of "Flash Gordon", wonderfully nostalgic recreation reminiscent of those early days of sci-fi serials of the 1930s, starring Buster Crabbe in the title role.

Dedicated to the memory of DeForest Kelley (1920-1999), and to "The Great Bird of the Galaxy", Mr. Gene Roddenberry---Neil Norman and Crescendo have once again brought the best and most creative attributes to "film-score-buffs" around the galaxy---don't miss this or the next thrilling episode from Norman & Crew!

You might try another GNP/Crescendo release ~ "The Best Of Star Trek:30th Anniversary Special"(GNPD-8053), all worthy of a good listen!

Total Time: 63:44 on 24 Tracks ~ GNP/Crescendo GNPD-8061 ~ (2000)
