Listening through the set now and I agree with several other poster's comments. McCarthy's Haven, while pleasant enough, could've used the 8-10 minute treatment (to make way for say, more statements of his Picard theme to add some thematic heft to his disc). On the other hand based on the material provided I have to say I would've loved a complete 20 minute presentation for Chattaway's The Host -- it seems like one of his best scores, even better than his first two for the series (perhaps he was excited about having a new regular job...) Thematic and emotional, everything that a TNG score at that point was supposedly not allowed to be...guess he got away with it since he was new!

Yesterday I saw the episode "The Arsenal of Freedom" on TV. There's a big, powerful cue for the separation of the saucer section of the Enterprise with an interesting quote of the Picard theme. Really wonderful scoring by McCarthy. I would suggest this for inclusion in the volume 2 of the TNG scores!
My set arrived today and was listening to CD 1 (ripped in Apple Lossless but confirmed on the CD as well) track 15 - P-2 Arises M51 / Hall Twins M52 / P-2 Dies M53 / Escape M54 / No Repeat M55 [Time Squared #139] and noticed something that made me think my headphones had stopped working properly.
The first 24 seconds play perfectly balanced and then till 1:26-1:31ish most of the sound is coming out of the left side (speakers or headphones) with the right side being really low in comparison.

I had not originally noticed, but mine does the same thing. It coincides with a section dominated by synths and no orchestra, so perhaps it is intentional?
Thanks to great releases such as this and FSM's Ron Jones set, I've been on a TNG 1st season scores kind of kick today. I know that LLL's set might not have been a big hit in terms of sales, but it really does have some major selling points worth checking out, not the least of which is the huge amount of variety. The Fred Steiner score for "Code of Honor" is a must for fans and I really enjoy McCarthy's early TNG music for "Haven", "Hide & Q" and "Conspiracy". Being such a long time TNG fan, I will never not be amazed at that fact that there is finally so much music available from the show, including all of Ron Jones' music.
Sorry for the detour, please continue talking about THE AVENGERS and how much some people hate DRAGONSLAYER...

As a Trekkie I am very happy that I have the Ron Jones and LLL sets. I am VERY happy with both and am very grateful for them.
For example: #105 - Haven vs #111 Haven #111 - Hide and Q vs #110 Hide and Q
Most of the other entries seem to be okay though!
So is there some hidden meaning behind this (e.g. these episodes got aired out of sequence, a distortion of the space-time continuum, a transporter malfunction, ...) or is this just a very slight mistake on either side (La-La-Land or wikipedia)?
Kind Regards, Bishop
P.S.: This is not an attempt to critise anyone! I just want to archivate each track with the correct episode number / stardate.
Bishop, as you surmised, the production order differed from the syndication air date order. We used the production order as those #s were tied to the episodes in all of the studio nomenclature.
