Whenever I put this on in the car I end up playing the whole thing through twice, whether it be the same trip or over several trips. Now I know a lot of folks get all antsy when the Rosenman parts come up but I'm not one of 'em. The music worked fine in the film and to me it's merely a bonus if it works stand-alone style. Anyway, out of all the cues I invariably hit rewind at least twice after Horner's "Returning to Vulcan" and play it over, it's so hauntingly beautiful.A few minutes ago I did this again. And even though the cue has Spock written all over it, all I could envision was DeForest Kelley. Damn. I miss old Bones. So what if he was never going to appear in another episode. It stinks.

I miss old Bones too.I've heard THE ASTRAL SYMPHONY (a library loaner), but see no point in owning it, since I have all the original albums it's sampled from anyway. STAR TREK III was DeForest Kelley's biggest showpiece, as far as the features are concerned. I'll never forget him trying out the Vulcan neck pinch (without success!) and of course, the immortal line, "That green-blooded sonofabitch ... this is his revenge for all those arguments he lost!" He deserved an Oscar nomination as much for that one as Ricardo Montalban did for WRATH OF KHAN, but we know what those snotty Academy voters are like ...

I miss Kelley as much as anyone.... I have a friend that met him once and said that he was a swell guy--very down to earth.Mr. L--you're right. Rosenman's work on IV was just great. Worked fine in the film. Good continuity and storytelling, too.  http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/wink.gif"> D

Howard, your "vibe" is at work once more.Just this very evening at dinner, the topic of Star Trek arose, and Bonita & I lamented the passing of DeForest Kelley. What a wonderful character his McCoy was. I don't care what anybody says, the Original Cast of Star Trek will always be the most memorable. Picard, Worf, Janeway...PFFFFT.

I bought Astral Symphony a few years ago. I had gone a long time without getting it because there was not a single word on the CD package about the recordings themselves.Was it from the original soundtracks, or who knows what? I remembered a James Bond LP I had once bought, "Themes From the Motion Picture Casino Royale," and it was mostly organ music. Luckily, I got it at the church rummage sale for a quarter, but I was still ticked off. It's good that Astral Symphony is all OST, but they should have said that on the cover. The big let-down in Astral Symphony, for me, was that it lacked the Mountain cue from ST-5, when Kirk is climbing El Cap after the titles. This was also omitted from "Symphonic Star Trek" (Erich Kunzel), and I ending up buying the ST-5 soundtrack as well. So the trouble with these compilations is that they really don't save you from buying the score CD's, and you end up with a lot of duplication.

You tell 'em, Howard. I often feel like a second class citizen, when the "more serious" collectors post about listening to something like Goldsmith's Supergirl from start to finish. I listen to the parts I like. There are scores I play in their entirety, such as Star Trek TMP, The Wrath of Khan, Carrie, Raise the Titanic, Goldfinger, Defending Your Life, and Best Years of Our Lives, among others. But more often I want parts of scores. No matter how much you love the parts, it's okay not to sit through the whole. NP: Star Trek: TMP

Quick side note on Astral Symphony: I have by now seen three different releases of this album. I have the normal jewel case version titled Astral Symphony myself, but I've also seen it in one of those cheap Deluxe Packaging cases. And just today, I found a pile of discs entitled Best of Star Trek or something to that effect, with a completely different cover, but the same tracks as Astral Symphony. I wonder what's next.NP: Music From Great Film Classics by Bernard Herrmann

I just bought this for BATTLE IN THE MUTARA NEBULA without the "wild" overlay from the FSM cd which I also have.
Hmm, good tip Henry. I've never compared the two tracks. Something to do.
