The quote is douchy and so it posting it in a PR thread by a label who worked hard and paid a lot of money to provide it. But, hey, America, right?

I hate to say it,

No, you don't. That's obvious.

but outside of the many excellent scores on TOS, I can't remember a single memorable score from all spin=offs!
Possible exception; THROUGH A MITRROR DARKLY (ste)


TNG: Much of Ron Jones' output, early Jay Chattaway, Dennis McCarthy's first season work.
DS9: The Way of the Warrior, Sacrifice of Angels, The Die Is Cast, The Visitor
Voyager: Equinox
Enterprise: Azanti Prime (god, why is this battle music STILL unreleased?), Terra Prime, Canamar

Seems like the problem is yours, not the music's. Surprise!

Only glaring omission from my perspective is not sure how Azati Prime was overlooked, mid-season finale of season 3.

The finale of that score, plus the pre-credits music from Terra Prime, is my favorite music from the series. I was really hoping it would be on this set. Well, maybe in the future.

I want the rest of "Silent Enemy" (Velton Ray Bunch) -- not a bad cue in there.

So true! Missing for example is the cue beginning at 39:12 that was also used for the DVD intro.
Another piece by Bunch I would like to mention is from the episode Similitude. There's a wonderful somewhat Harry Potter-esque cue for the young Sim beginning at 12:37.


I would also like more music from Vox Sola by Baillargeon, possibly the most beautiful score written for ENT. All those cues using the solo Cello are well worth a release.

Listening to the clips, I didn't realize how many of the episodes replaced their entire string section with synths. Budget cuts really hurt this show.

I was going to hold out until their next sale, but I was at Creature Features recently and decided to grab this Vol. 2 set, along with LLL's Jonny Quest album. I love pretty much all the music from the various Trek series, TNG being my favorite, and so I'm pretty biased as a judge, but I am really enjoying many of the scores on this new set for Enterprise. I do agree with the previous post that when the music budget was cut later during the series, it can stand in stark contrast to the fully acoustic orchestral scores of the earlier seasons. Brian Tyler's Canamar score I think outdoes his music for Regeneration. And the Velton Ray Bunch and David Bell scores are great and there's some really energetic and florid work from McCarthy on his solo scores.

After diving further into this 2nd volume and revisiting the first, I've decided that Velton Ray Bunch is really the MVP of composers for ENTERPRISE. This would be akin to how I think Ron Jones is the MVP of NEXT GEN, even though he only stayed with the series for four seasons his sound and approach elevated the best episodes and cast a long shadow during the remaining seasons. In ENT scores, there's great work by all of the composers for sure, but Bunch really delivers a wealth of memorable music in each of scores, full of interesting orchestration, energy and catchy melodies and motifs.
