The year is 2014. Digital sales are overtaking physical = deal with it! You can abstain from ever buying anything digital, or you can actually enjoy listening to music that most likely otherwise would have no release at all? And for those who feel too high and mighty to listen to a 320 kb mp3, I'm willing to bet you have no problem listening to it when its shared for free? I'd have given my third nipple if it meant listening to some holy grails releases in mp3 when there was no other alternative!!!!! End rant.
Your argument fails on mutiple accounts.
First off, yes, one CAN abstain from buying. So what?
As for the argument about being 'high and mighty', the issue is two fold.
First, why SHOULD people settle for worse quality than the format introduced 31 years ago?
Second, the issue with lossless ISN'T only about sound quality. It's that you're getting, in a sense, a 'master' copy of the music -- that is, you can edit it freely without degrading the quality. It works as an archive. Lossy might work to listen to, but it's stuck like is, forever.

The samples sound lovely and are teeming with emotion. I can tell that, much like Silvestri's Contact, this is space by way of warmth and beauty and even playfulness. I'm happy to see there's a release. Would I enjoy a CD even more? Absolutely. But then, how often are scores to new television shows released at all? Partially-occupied/-evacuated glasses of water and all that. Good to know they're already thinking of future volumes, too.

It's on Spotify now too!
http://open.spotify.com/album/4jA6hNpRKL3XGBdfi6aO90
I've just listened to the entire score on Spotify, and can say that if Goldsmith and Horner (I did not forget the other composers) never scored a Star Trek film, the Silvestri would be the one. His score scores and is cosmic, indeed!

Hopefully a physical CD release is coming! I searched Amazon but didn't find anything.

CDs *are* digital.
CD's are physical media, downloads are coding. CD's are re-selable, downloads are not. CD booklets can be signed; ever try signing your hard drive? If one CD goes bad, you still have the rest. If the hard drive goes bad, you can lose every scores downloaded onto it.
The vast majority of score CD's can be purchased anywhere in the world, while legal situatons still limit what scores can be sold to and from what countries.
And I could name more. You all enjoy your downloads, I'll stick with the CD.
He who laughs last, didn't lose his scores in a hard drive failure or computer theft.
