Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This much-anticipated, expanded release of Jerry Goldsmith's classic score for Robert Wise's Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) was certainly worth the wait. Featuring eight previously unreleased tracks, the disc offers 65 minutes of score excerpts presented in chronological order. Perhaps his most famous effort, Star Trek is as close to a continuous music drama as Goldsmith has ever come. From the haunting overture ("Ilia's Theme") to the inspiring finale ("A Good Start"), the composer surpasses himself with each successive movement. Goldsmith introduces his famous signature theme ("Main Title") before entering a nightmarish domain with the antiphonal "Klingon Battle". The cine-music narrative continues with a primitive depiction of Spock's home planet ("Total Logic") and an airy portrait of a space station ("Floating Office"). The defining moment of the score is "The Enterprise", in which Kirk's reunion with his starship is depicted by a six-minute, all-encompassing ballet treatment of the main theme. Other highlights include the mysterious, exotic explorations through Vejur ("The Cloud", "The Force Field") and the final joining of Decker and Ilia ("The Meld"). A second disc of interviews between Gene Roddenberry and original cast members is included, but Jerry Goldsmith is the star of this show. --Kevin Mulhall

If you don't particularly like Star Trek: The Motion Picture, I can almost understand, but the score is quite breathtaking in how it communicates the themes explored in the story, and in science fiction.

From the harmonious and ethereal Illias theme, which evokes love across the stars, to the majestic reveal of the Enterprise, to the truly eerie and thundering score for the Machine-God V'Ger, the score conveys the full spectrum of emotions that grand Asimovian ideas can evoke, even if the film itself stutters.

Jerry Goldsmith's score, to my mind, trumps the work of John Williams for the Star Wars films, even though I prefer the Lucas franchise to Star Trek.

It's just a shame Goldsmith wasn't alive to score the latest film.

Jerry Goldsmith's score to the 1979 movie ST Motion Picture is an experience that every score enthusiast should have in their collection. There is no excuse not to own this. The release we have here is the expanded version which people begged Jerry to release for years. For all the wonderful new gems,its still not the "complete" score as some claim here. There is still a lot of classic moments yet to be released. But Jerry made sure that it was'nt complete and himself chose the cues which were to be added to this new release. He's not a fan of "complete scores on disc". Like John Williams, he prefers to release scores on a "selections from" basis.

If you have any complaints this time, you cant whinge at record companies this time. You've got to complain to Jerry himself. LOL. But the fact remains that we get a superb disc full of great new moments here. A few that come to mind are firstly "Total Logic" which is the broody cue for Spock's failed rite on Vulcan, ending with the chirpy upbeat theme of Kirk arriving at Starfleet (which lasts only a few seconds but makes the CD 100 times more valuable and is one of my favourites). The very short "Floating office" (only 1:03) is the mystical piece which many agree is one of Goldsmith's finest short cues. I agree. Wonderful. "Spocks Arrival" (which in the film pays homage to the long lingering shots of 2001) is great and ends with such a striking little chime at 1:38-1:45 that perfectly sums up the cosmic and undefinable nature of spock. Many others could be mentioned, but i'll leave you to listen. Of course, all the favourites from the previous release are here too, such as the epic "Enterprise" (track 6) ,"The Cloud", and "The Meld" etc. This disc also restores "Ilia's theme" to its original place as heard in the film score order (before the famous Main Title).

Disc 2 which is basically full of Trek interviews, convention recordings and bridge sound effects is just a marketing device which works, because no fan of this score will pass up this release just because of a [rubbish] second disc which is nothing to do with the score really. I listened to it once and although it began interestingly,it became unbelievably cheesy and is obviously something that was designed to grab Trek customers. I dont blame the brains behind that. If you're going to take the gamble of releasing the expanded version of an older score why not make a fail safe plan B?. If the TMP score fans dont buy it, then the Trekkies sure will. Disc 2 is not the reason i give this CD 5 stars. All my fivers go to the 1st Score disc. If you love this score, it wont bother you in the slighest having some cheesy disc 2. Let it gather dust in the back of the jewel case. Buy this score today and enjoy. DISC 1 Is a masterpiece, but DISC 2 wil make even your Cat cringe.
