The CD is unusually skimpy for a recent Varese release...was this a case of the score still being recorded after the deadline for CD production?
I doubt it; the film's been finished since December. It's more likely the enormous re-use cost (still billed in 15-minute chunks, if I'm not mistaken.)

Doesn't stop the major labels, whose CDs often clock in at 70+ so someone please explain to me why Varese's CDs are more than often really short. They've got less overhead presumably, less of a bottom-line expectation than the major labels, etc. And having had over 10 years' experience in music retail, I know their cost on a CD was always at least $1 to $2 higher than any other North American label.
Not to mention this is frickin' Trek!!! Pay the re-use, charge more for the CD and we'll pay it. Geeeeez. Oh, well, I guess they're okay (much like Speed Racer) with people downloading boots of the complete score. IMO.
Sorry for the Debbie Downer moment, but they really seem to be the biggest offender of this.

I've been listening to the score all day, well, 3 times at least, and an enjoying it quite a bit. The main theme isn't as grandiose...or as grand...as Goldsmith's or Horner's, but it is solid and melodic, works quite well and carries the CD along as a listening experience. Good, fun stuff.

You are right, the CD is quite short, I read that there was a lot of score recorded for the film.
Its a bummer they didn't put all of it on.
I'm pretty sure after I watch the movie, there will be some cues that I will be wanting, which won't be on the CD!

Maybe people won't pay more. Can't blame Varese seeing that the score is all over the internet.

The "main title" in the film is a reuse of "Enterprising Young Men" which means Giacchino very likely wrote something else for that moment (and it's a moment, not a full-fledged title sequence, which is another thing that's changed since Star Trek - The Motion Picture).
Jeff, have you seen the film yet? There were like 2 or 3 versions recorded for the Late Title Card (TM). I haven't seen the film yet, so I wonder which one they ended up using.
