There's a lot of memorable music from that period! (The Visitor, Dominion War episodes, and various 'comedy' episodes like Our Man Bashir, Badda-bing, Badda-bang, etc.)<br /><br />Voyager's scores got better later in the game, as well, which is why I REALLY wish this was a Voyager release! The music to Scorpion, Year of Hell, Timeless, Dark Frontier, Blink of an Eye ... so much goodness. Really want that! They've released a set for all the other series ... not sure we needed more TNG over Voyager. <br /><br />As for Enterprise, I think it had dynamic music from the get-go. They were on a five-composer rotation (with Velton Ray Bunch added in), and the scores felt more punch-y and noticeable. The Enterprise soundtrack collection is great, and they left out some good material (no Azati Prime or The Forgotten or The Forge, I don't think). <br /><br />I'll be passing on this release, but I hope we see more in the future.

I remember by DS9 and VOY (and ENT) they just re-used the same generic music for every episode.Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756314199036780238noreply@blogger.com
