haha I know what would be simple lukas ...just release the entire score from every episode that will take care of it and YOU KNOW it will be bought!


What you might be forgetting is that Lukas did that already...at least for one composer. Every single Ron Jones score for Star Trek is now released in complete form. And you know what? Sales were disappointing. Lukas can speak for himself but I suspect it maybe was one of the things that made him think about stopping the FSM label. At the very least we know that he did no big box sets after the Ron Jones Project.

I love it and cherish it, and I think most of Jones's scores stand up very well in complete form. But the simple fact is that based on huge sales for the Trek feature scores Lukas decided to license the Ron Jones box for 5000 copies and I think he said they hadn't sold much more than 1000 (thankfully they didn't manufacture everything in advance).

If this was the case for Ron Jones, the most interesting composer of Trek TV music until perhaps some Enterprise entries, then I don't think there's really a market for all of the many discs it would take to release the complete Trek TV scores. We're talking probably a hundred discs or more for every Trek episode score. C'mon.

Hi ...would you too buy a whole trek set of unreleased score?

And here's the other thing...in answer to your question. Even if I had the money to afford all of that, I wouldn't buy it. Because here's a little secret which many Trek fans will tell you (and sadly it hurt the Ron Jones sales, unfairly): the majority of modern Star Trek TV music SUCKS. It's sonic wallpaper, there not to be noticed but because if there was no music THAT would be more noticeable. And it's not the fault of the very talented composers. McCarthy and Chattaway's early work before that Ron Moore aesthetic was strictly enforced is often very good, and a select few even deserve full releases. But not all of it, surely. It's a miracle that they started being allowed more leeway for emotion in the later spinoffs.

There are definitely incomplete scores that I would like to have complete versions for (Tin Man, for example), but honestly, some of the scores released in complete or near-complete form I don't think warranted it (Haven from TNG Vol. 1 was very underwhelming considering how it was talked up as more emotional...I feel having just a few tracks from it would have put it in a better light, listening wise).

Just my opinion but many people share it (and most of them have an even harsher opinion). I think LLL and Lukas are doing the right thing to ask for people's wants and prioritize those over complete score releases, with the odd exception (Arsenal of Freedom was good!)

I know the original recordings are apparently long-lost, blah blah blah, but is there anything that can be salvaged from the Animated series (from the M&E tracks, perhaps?)

I wonder where this comes from:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p03jG546GQc

Since all the music of TOS and the first five films has been released, the only thing I am interested in is the animated series. I absolutely love this music not just for it sounding fantastic but also for the associations it evokes of the era it comes from and I wish more Filmation music were released.

There's still that piece of library music from "Miri", possibly composed by Mullendore. You could also add the bumper music by Wilbur Hatch.

But count me in for a release of music from the animated series. And Planet of the Apes animated, too! smile

Hello, thank you for this fantastic possibility. I have quite a big wish list smile

I only included VOYAGER episodes since there is so much material which is so far unreleased. There is so much great music that there could be also a Volume 2 besides the upcoming Volume 1 and the 50th Anniversary Collection.

ATTENTION: Since I don’t have access to the American Netflix, I used the German versions on Amazon Instant Video. Therefore the time codes might differ a bit. The time code difference should not be bigger than 10 – 15 seconds, though.

BOLD cues or scores have a higher priority than others, in my opinion.

Here we go smile

As often requested, the big four should be widely represented on the sets, if not in their complete form.

3#26 / 4#01 - SCORPION PT. 1 & 2 (Cha.)
5#15 / 5#16 - DARK FRONTIER PT. 1 & 2 (Bell)
5#26 / 6#01 - EQUINOX PT. 1 & 2 (Cha.)

Whoa whoa there....you have the wrong name in there.

NOT Ron Moore, RICK BERMAN!

Please, PLEASE never confuse the two....ugh.

WHOA WHOA WHOA! What have I done? Major apologies to Ron Moore, surely responsible for the best things about modern Star Trek. I absolutely meant Rick Berman. Brain fart, I guess.

P.S. to Justin: weren't there also request threads of some kind for DS9 and Enterprise or am I remembering incorrectly?

Yavar,

Yes, there was one being used for Enterprise, but it barely took off:
http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=94386&forumID=1&archive=0



There wasn't one for D.S.9., as far as I recall, though there was a lengthy thread for the LLLR release with a few suggestions here and there:

No, I think it's a very lovely score, especially those violin solos. Of course, it's slower paced, but it's no less enjoyable for the same reason that Horner's score for IRIS is a great listen but different from his score for THE ROCKETEER.

A TNG score of McCarthy's I've always liked was S1's "Coming of Age," which contains some very exciting adventure music. Also, another vote for DM's "The Most Toys," "Tapestry," "The Hunted," "Timescape." Added to this,"Cost of Living" and "Clues." Great unreleased Enterprise scores include McCarthy's "The Communicator" and Ray Bunch's "Extinction."

Still would love to get the teaser cue from "Conundrum" (similar cue in "Cause and Effect" is nice, but...)

I suppose that the music from the Webster series finale, Webtrek (a TNG crossover) is off-limits.

Add me to the list of people who'd like a voiceover-less TWoK Epilogue and End Credits. The Federation anthem (from "Take Me Out to the Holosuite") would be nice to have, too. So much has been released and requested that it is difficult to keep track.

I pretty much agree with all the above. Thanks to TNG Vol.2 there is not that much material left and hopefully most of it can be covered in the anniversary collection. I would say there are only a hand full of episodes remaining that warrant a full release, thankfully we already got Conspiracy, Hide & Q, The Arsenal of Freedom and most of Tin Man and Hollow Pursuit covered at this point. Adding to that I would complete The Survivors, The Hunted, Tin Man (as you mentioned), maybe Contagion and The Most Toys, and then Chattaway's Frame of Mind which in between of lots of wallpaper scores, is so wonderfully different. Other than that I think a few outtakes from episodes as proposed in this blog, should finalize TNG.
Having said that, I would pay good money to get all remaining TNG season 1, 2 and 3 scores. If all cues on the new set were season 5 - 7, I would likely pass.

I think the lengthy 20-minute suite of "Cause & Effect" on this new Vol. 2 set is all the highlights and might even be the full score, so I don't understand what else anyone would need. Let's focus on scores that either have never been released or maybe only in brief 4-5 minute presentations previously.

Lukas


Well, I was able to get my stuff together nonetheless... smile Again, thank you for allowing us to participate in building this set... I don't have Netflix, but I have Amazon Prime. I assume the timing in the episodes is the same...

Star Trek: The Next Generation:

"Firstborn" 36.36-38.03 (scene where Duras sisters reveal future pregnancy to Work stopping future Alexander from killing young Alexander). It's motif that appears in later TNG that I don't think has ever really been captured well on disc.

Additionally, end credits from "Firstborn" because it has the extended type ending as opposed to the quick chop ending. It's difficult to explain, but it has never appeared on CD.

"All Good Things..." This was mentioned prior. Volume 1 from LLL and Best of Start Trek Volume 2 capture lots of good stuff, but as a previous poster said the whole episode should be represented along with the trailer. It's so good.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:

A lot has been mentioned, but I think DS9 had the coolest trailer music. Way of the Warrior is amazing. Here it is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzzucJgYWcg&list=PL48BA8BF295B52009&index=2

as is Paradise Lost:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLJ3viOVUDQ&index=12&list=PL48BA8BF295B52009

Star Trek: Enterprise:

The Storm Front trailer has already been mentioned and I would add that is is amazing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ms7bnbaBUw&list=PL5zwq76EsRxqOD8HlQlqPWDOphyk0FN0a

"Cold Station 12"

My favorite unreleased cue. If I had to pick one only it would be from this episode, 34:14-41:50 by Jay Chattaway. It's so good!

"These are the Voyages..." Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGniYXrkrl8&list=PL5zwq76EsRxqOD8HlQlqPWDOphyk0FN0a&index=21

Enterprise actually had a lot of good trailer music leading up to the conclusion of the series that I cannot find.

"Archer's theme"

Finally, anything not released with Archer's theme would be amazing.

Lukas, you have your work cut out for you. Good luck and thanks for asking us for feedback.
