 Rating:  - A Courage ClassicDuring the airing of the original TV series, a number of albums were released with the music from a number of episodes. The score by Alexander Courage for The Cage and Where No Man Has Gone Before stand alone as magnificent artistry. The numbers cannot be dismissed as simply a background to the scenes; the music tells a story through its pace and presentation, as if the writers were using the textured canvas of Courage to shape the episodes. One only needs to be a fan of ... Read More Rating:  - a couple glaring problemsAccolades aside for the music itself, there are two reasons to be miffed by this cd, though the problems stem from the original LP release: tape hiss and distortion (like someone blowing into the microphone) when the music peaks out. The cd insert (from the LP) mentions these problems, though of course they aren't apparent in the TV episodes... Secondly, while "The Cage" seems complete (thankfully the music during warp-speed is omitted), "Where no man..." is not. The music to the climactic 5-10 ...

Definitely nostalgic, vintage, makes you feel you're back in the sixties, the very beginning of Trek..and yet somewhere else somehow, on another planet. It's like watching the episodes without the dialouge, while working. I can hear it very clearly in my headphones (though I'm sure there's some distortions), every odd but..right note. With this score, you become an alien. Get caught in the cage. It's a pleasurable ... Read More Rating:  - This is the "ne plus ultra" for Trek fans everywhere.This is it. The ne plus ultra. The Ur source. The Holy Grail of Trekdom. If not for the less-than-perfect (but still acceptable) recording quality, this album would rate a full five stars. (Presumably, this recording was copied directly from the original, optical soundtrack recordings.) I especially enjoy the pure, simple but sad and melancholy melodies Courage used in the score for "The Cage". Unclouded by dialog and special effects, the sublime oboe/clarinet duet in "Doctor Bartender" ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
