EAN: 0052824805927 Format: Soundtrack Label: Gnp Crescendo Manufacturer: Gnp Crescendo Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Gnp Crescendo Release Date: December 15, 1998 Studio: Gnp Crescendo Editorial Review: Amazon.com: There's not much in the way of surprises in Jerry Goldsmith's fourth score for the Star Trek feature-film cycle (and second for the Next Generation incarnation), which isn't to say it's not a finely crafted piece of robust, action-adventure boilerplate. Unfortunately, the genre has come to rely on an orchestral palette that's about as subtle as a Klingon temper tantrum; divorced from its striking images and spectacular stunt sequences, it's often as inviting as Mahler on a Monday morning. Still, Goldsmith manages touches here that are as close to pastoral as the conventions allow, bookended by enough Wagnerian Sturm und Drang to push our Federation heroes on to victory once again. Goldsmith is responsible for some of the most inventive sci-fi and horror scores of the past 40 years (Planet of the Apes, the Omen trilogy, and The Twilight Zone among them), and the Trek cycle seems well enough entrenched for the producers to allow the composer at least as much adventure as they do the crew of the Enterprise. --Jerry McCulley Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I love the soundtrackthis is the work of belated Jerry Goldsmith and he wwas the master of the music in star trek. I just love listening to his star trek soundtracks. They are the best. Rating:  - Not the definitive movie soundtrackWhile this has some good tracks, it was purchased solely for the Baku village track, which is a delightful piece, and well worth listening to, especially if you're feeling a bit stressed. I obviously felt it was worth buying for that track alone, so if you liked the film, (which I did enjoy), but maybe can't remember what the music was like, try to borrow a copy to listen to first, before you splash your hard earned cash. Rating: - Par film for Trek, Awesome Score!Star Trek: Insurrection is a great score overall. The flow to this CD is very enjoyable. Even though there was more music in the film that was not released on this album, you will enjoy Goldsmith's smooth transition between action cues and melodys. I love this score and I cannot put it away. This is some of Goldsmith's most fun work! I love all Star Trek scores, this one happens to be a favorite! Rating:  - Goldsmith is the Star Trek kingAfter a successful score to Star Trek: First Contact, Jerry Goldsmith returns once again scoring his fourth Star Trek film, Star Trek: Insurrection, which is just as good as First Contact. "Ba'ku Village" opens with Alexander Courage's classic Star Trek fanfare, which segues into Goldsmith's new theme for the film which is a soft melody for strings, harps, and flutes. This theme occurs again in full form in "Children's Story", "The Healing Process", "New Sight", and the grand finale "End Credits". ...

Both thrilling and poignant, this score enhances a rather routine story that is in need of some "life". While the music is not up to par with Goldsmith's classic scores ("Patton", "The Sand Pebbles", "Planet of the Apes", "The Omen Trilogy" the first "Trek," and "Total Recall"), it is still a delight for fans and non-fans. |
