Just wondering if anyone has seen the new STAR TREK film? About the music- No real cohesive 'sound' or orchestration. It was all over the place! rock music/orchestral/choral.
Can anyone remember the main title or hum the themes?
Makes you really miss Jerry Goldsmith. With him Klingons got a memorable Klingon theme. For scenes on Vulcan You KNEW you were on Vulcan! The Romulans are the baddies in the new one, but if the composer wrote a theme for them damned if I could remember it much less hum it.
Yes, I miss Mr. Goldsmith.

Yes, I too am finding the score getting better with each listen.

I do like the Enterprise theme very much, and I like the variations on Spock's theme, so it stands to reason my favorite track is "Enterprising Young Men" which features epic rendition of the Enterprise theme as well as a jaunty version of Spock's theme for muted trumpet.

There are quite a few cues in the film that I would have wished to be included on the album, including Spock and Amanda at the beginning, the attack on the drill (which features from jagged Goldsmithian passages), Kirk's meeting with Spock Prime (before the album track "Nice To Meld You," which isn't heard in the film) and subsequent farewell and the Enterprise arriving at Titan, but I am hard pressed to think of what I'd excise in favor of those pieces.
