Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Alexander Courage may have given the sprawling Star Trek franchise its signature musical fanfare, but for two decades it's been composer Jerry Goldsmith who's periodically infused the film and TV cycles with their crucial musical heart and soul or, as in the case of this rousing masterwork, their fire and fury. Giving nearly free reign to his notably modernist muse, the veteran has turned in a dark and driving orchestral maelstrom that's relieved only by its edgy, occasionally synth-burnished passages of alien intrigue and mounting suspense. Underpinned by bracing blasts of massive brass worthy of Bernard Herrmann and powered by Goldsmith's passionate sense of drama and mastery of orchestral colour and dynamics, it's a score that not only ranks amongst the best of the imposing Star Trek musical catalogue, but certainly one of the composer's most accomplished sci-fi scores of the last 20 years. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars A Generation Goes Out In Style, 9 May 2003
By Mr President "POTUS" (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
After seeing Nemesis at the cinema, and deciding that it was absolutely fantastic, I ordered the CD soundtrack straight away. The opening music is great giving that sense that your in interstellar space, then it jumps straight into a war feel as it approaches Romulus. Track 3 'My Right Arm', was also well done, particularly keeping in sync with the chase sequence. 9. The Scorpion - fave track in the whole CD, wonderfully done and work so well with the sequence in the movie. The last track, lived up to its purpose, giving the idea that the Next Generation crew (and Data) live on.

I would give the CD 5.5 stars if i could, not only for the fact that it was wholly fantastic, but also that it didnt include Data's little song in the film (which i cringed at), that was my main worry for it, which proved to be unfounded.

A fitting tribute to a departing Generation.

3.0 out of 5 stars NEMESIS - A Generations Final Soundtrack?!, 2 Dec 2002
STAR TREK: NEMESIS

Anxiously awaiting the new Star Trek Original Movie Soundtrack for many weeks, I was relieved to have received it in the post today. Straight after lectures, I went back to my appartment and slided the disc into the drive and put the volume up to get the full experience. Oh yes, it felt good to hear the fanfare of Jerry Goldsmith's and Alexander Courage's Star Trek theme once more!
The last few films in particular have had a very specific theme running parallel to the story; Insurrection with its blissfull and relaxing Baku theme, First Contact with its 'Borgified' composure etc. However Nemesis seems to use a mixture of these previous themes, rather than having a unique theme created for itself. Agreed there are three or four unique tracks on the Nemesis CD, but on the whole, it sounded very familiar.
Agreed, the past soundtracks have been exceptional and so it might seem like a good idea to re-use certain chords and melodies for Nemesis, but i was hoping to hear an entirely new soundtrack. For any major Trek fan, i guess the parellel would be to highlight the Hirogen period from Voyager. From those episodes on, all Voyager episodes had the same dark melody- every episode!
However, this is a very modern sounding compilation of songs, and i think they will suit the films' dark plot very well.
Although i gave the CD rating 3 out of 5, i think maybe that is a bit harsh. I guess i was just let down at the fact there is not much individuality in this soundtrack. It also lacks any bonus features (like the FIrst Contact CD). But i do recommend this CD to anyone who is an avid trek fan or anyone who sees the film and enjoys the soundtrack.
It is an excellent quality score, very well structured and it has certainly got me looking forward to the release of the film!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely BRILLIANT, 10 Jan 2003
There is no doubt that this soundtrack is the best of them all!! Goldsmith has done a fantastic job in creating and mixing new themes with the well established fanfares we're all so familiar with. He combines the orchestra with electronic sounds and textures, which enhance the pieces even further.
Most definately, my favourite ones are the last 4. Their repetitive rhythmic motifs (of course, similar to those used so magnificently by Holst in Mars of his Planets Suite) give such a dramatic war-like effect to the sound of the music that one is just blown away by their raw and brutal-sounding texture.
This is one movie soundtrack which no movie enthusiast nor any fan of the greatest show in television history should be without!!!!!
All in all, this soundtrack compliments the film wonderfully, which in my opinion is a superb and utterly brilliant film!
