@Paul Bon *eat And it's by no means merely a greatest hits. Yes, the composers used existing Trek themes and leitmotifs. And I say good on them. Use of motifs has long been a part of Trek muisic. But there's a ton of original content here, including several new themes. Also, it's melodic scoring, as opposed to the textual scoring approach so common these days. If liking a melodic approach is me being nostalgic, I plead guilty as charged.
@@OptimusNiaa it’s very simply a pandering nostalgia porn soundtrack for a high school reunion from hell. The once mighty Next Gen reduced to Desperate fanwank instead of a real plot and score.
Picard made me realize how important the music of Star Trek is to make it feel like Star Trek. This FEELS like Star Trek, and not just because it uses existing themes.
Damn straight! They hit the mark with this spot on! I had a feeling we'd see the D from the beginning of the season, but never expected the moment to be so powerful. Everything was perfect.
@@jonmyers8046 I actually called it as early as episode 2, down to almost the very beat (the whole "we don't have a ship" "well, there is ONE ship" trope) but like you I never even toyed with the idea it would be so perfect. I had alot of problems with the first 2 episodes - mostly nitpicks - but it was easy to tell even then that something was profoundly different. The first real glimpse of hope I got was the last half of episode 4. From that moment on I was fully committed. And this reveal was just absolutely everything it needed to be. When I heard Majel's voice I jumped up out of my chair and shouted "Oh my God they actually did it!!" Lol it broke me.
Yes!!! “Make It So” is positively phenomenal! The combination of instruments, so appropriate for those moments in episode 9, Võx, is exquisite. The violins, the trumpets… my goodness, absolute genius!
2:28:18 the best rendition of Goldsmith’s theme I’ve ever heard that wasn’t done by Goldsmith himself. The orchestration and mixing specifically stands out so well, putting the instruments usually mixed low (chimes, bells, bass drum) up higher so it punches hard with the accented brass. I feel they knew “this was it” for this theme, as it was for this crew, so they went all out to make this final rendition the absolute best and most powerful they could.
@@LeeKeels Still, hearing this transition of the TMP/TNG theme gave me the biggest dumb smile on my face! And so many goosebumps! We haven't really heard a new version of it since Star Trek Nemesis!
I do like this version as well, but I don't think it tops the original opening version of TMP. The build-up opening to TMP is just so strong and iconic.
Well said I agree. I keep replaying end credits on my system and can't help thinking "they're playing the f**K out of this!" This the most powerful and moving rendition yet. Hands down.
2:24:06 is probably the single most emotional piece of film/TV soundtrack ever for me. TNG was one of the few things my Dad and I bonded over and we both loved Generations despite its flaws. 'To Live Forever' from Generations, with the 'time is a companion' scene on the bridge of the destroyed D, is one of the most impactful scenes to me personally - I've always gone back and watched that scene throughout so many traumatic moments in my life, including when my Dad passed in 2017 when I was only 18. Hearing that motif again at the end of Season 3, but in a new context with the ship happily being put to rest with dignity and Picard's son off to serve on a new Enterprise, just hit me so hard. What a piece of music.
Absolutely spot on with our comment here. It's music from the end of the first movie GENERATIONS and even though that ship was gone, it was about renewal and hope for the future, what this series is truly all about. You captured it well with your comment. Well said.
Didn't think any sci-fi soundtrack would surpass the Battlestar Gallactica remake by Bear McCreary, then along came Barton and Wiedmann with this. Absolute mastery.
I'm gonna disagree with you on that one; the BSG soundtrack had much more originality (and honestly, that remixed song was definitely distinct from Hendrix's vesion). Though to be fair, probably should be single season to single season comparison. That said, reasonable people can disagree on matters of taste, as well as liking both options even if differing rankings.
@Timothy Mckee Which makes it great, but not "the best", IMnsHO; its like a Greatest Hits album or a Concert Album- hearing the stuff you already know, sometimes kicked up a notch. But I feel the "new" or innovative factor are important- great album, top tier, but not quite top spot (again, for me- different folks, different strokes).
them's fighting words son!!!! No it really doesn't matter imho, I mean both BSG and this are epic, I see them as on the same level but it's apples to oranges which one is "better"
It's great the way they use it, too. Some cues are almost exactly out of the older movies/tv shows, but others are variations on older themes. It makes for a nice blend and goes well with the original music that's brand new for this show.
@@Shadowfax-1980 The Titan's "Leaving Spacedock" uses Horner's style and string/brass flourishes but with new melodies, so making for an exquisite blend of old and new, of evocation and renaissance. Or, as I've said elsewhere, it's some of the best James Horner music that James Horner didn't write.
2:15:21 I'm sorry but this might just be the greatest song ever written. Nothing can ever top the scene where Jean Luc agrees to star with Jack. I tear up every. single. time.
It's such a lovely homage to several generations of Trek in one. It was really outstanding throughout the show. I made sure to watch the credits after every episode, I loved it so much!
This has left me in tears. It has done justice to Mr. Goldsmith with the enhancements. The soundtrack shares stardom equally with the cast, Terry Matalas and the Enterprise "D" herself. I would love to see a BTS video of the orchestration being recorded.
I do not like how the dissed the Titan. They should have built a new Enterprise. The Titan earned her place in history. The Enterprise G should have been a new class of starship. The Shaw Class. In honor to the hart felt respect. A Captain that felt it every time he lost a crew. No mistake, he watched most of his crew die. Captain Shaw was a man would never send his own to die. Unless he had absolutely no other choice. That man lived through his personal hell twice! He was a dedicated officer. By his own admission. An uptight dude, but a good man. His primary goal was to protect his ship and crew. Even Picard completely understood that. Seven of Nine respected him. Granted, like him. To shit on his legacy was a disrespect.
So according to someone, this season is, quote "stupid fan pandering". If that's the standard CBS and Paramount pander to us with, then... yeah, I want more.
Season 3 was the best, most satisfying of Treks. The music playing an enormous role. Bravo to Matalas, the composers, and of course the musicians. The finale, gosh, just breathless! Thank you!!! To the Stars 2:27:26
Why no CD? anyone can rip the MP3 off of youtube. But I would willingly support the composer and musicians and buy a CD with much higher sound quality than an MP3.
if there is a Legacy series, the main intro should start with Seven narrating "These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise..."then we get the Titan theme from 9:05-10:20 set to beautiful scenes of the Enterprise G cruising through space similar to Voyager or Strange New Worlds. If the show happens, this needs to be it.
@@tyhar7493 this music is both nostalgic and new. might be one of the finest mixtures I've heard. Horner's work in TWoK and TSfS is the stuff of legends. Barton on Wiedmann KILLED it with this soundtrack.
I really don't get Seven being Captain of a Federation starship. Imagine a first contact encounter..."Species 5654, the blah blah blah, they are an inferior technological race."
2:20:45 - A new Day 2023 - "Captains Log stardate.. lets just say 1..... the first of a new day, for friends old and young" - Enterprise D and Titan A flies together... 1991 - Captain's Log, stardate 9529.1. This is the final cruise of the Starship Enterprise under my command. This ship and her history will shortly become the care of another crew. To them and their posterity will we commit our future. They will continue the voyages we have begun, and journey to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man... where no *one* has gone before. Enterprise and Excelsior flies together...
I am very sorry that you did not get an Emmy nomination for Star Trek Picard season 3. I have listen to this album at least a dozen times and it is absolutely incredible! The musicians the composers the arrangers did such a fantastic job! No matter what you guys are definitely the 🏆🎉! I was very pleased to buy the vinyl recording from silver platter records in Seattle. Such a fantastic vinyl cover and quality. Really love the cool blue and white record! Thank you for all your hard work.
For years my ringtone has been "Dr. Ford" the piano piece from Westworld. Then this happened and I grabbed this music piece and its been my ringtone since :D
"Make it So" and the scene accompanied was perfection for a 90s kid who saw "Generations" right after losing my grandfather. To experience hia loss then to see the loss of a childhood fantasy...well it was a lot. So when they decided to write the 'D' back into canon....well...for a forty year old man these eyes could could never think of holding back from watering. Call it nostalgia, call it over-emotional, I call it brilliance. Thank you to every single person involved in this most perfectly produced send off. 💜
2:24:21 when picard and riker is inside the wreckage of the enterprise d. Picard: after all number 1, we're only mortal Riker: Speak for yourself sir, i plan to live forever
02:15:45 This was THE moment where I honestly thought Riker, Worf, Jack and Jean-Luc were never gonna make it out alive...the scoring really captured that emotion very well
In nearly 40 years on this earth, I have probably watched thousands of hours of television and movies, and THIS SOUNDTRACK is quite possibly the best I have heard! It hits every single feel, and every single emotion! Kudos to Mr. Barton and Mr. Wiedmann, and their amazing team!
In addition to the classics, it mixes in the new melody used throughout some of the best original new songs from season 3. Stuff like A New Family, Evolution, and The Missing Part of Me. The moment I heard that melody after they escaped the Nebula I knew a new all time great Star Trek musical piece had been born. Quite literally mixing the best of Trek's past with its present and hopefully it's future.
Since no one else responded yet, I'll go ahead and say this is my favorite moment in the season. The resolution between Data & Lore was immense. It was the final stepping stone to Data's search for humanity. Spot being the final catalyst was ;;;;;_;;;;;;
I think it's an amazing score, full of adventure, thrilling emotion and nostalgia. A great piece of work for a franchise that deserved a powerful soundtrack like this one, modern and at the same time, respectful with their own tradition. We want more music like that ❤❤!! I wish more series would follow this path with their soundtracks. Thank you Lakeshore for letting us listen to this whole portion of this serie's soundtrack.
I have loved this season. It may be a bit nostalgia heavy and gimmicky at times but it's been great and the music has been fabulous. I hope Stephen Barton gets his dues.
Spot on James. I nearly fell out my chair when it heard it reprised. And how fitting that it be used when again they leave the bridge of the Enterprise-D for the last time. Definitely my favourite track from "Generations".
@@scottmcculloch3605we are speaking the same language my friend!. That reprise at "one year later" was just glorious. Always loved that track from the film.
I love how every theme or overture for all nine movies and the series from the TNG era (minus LD and Prodigy) are featured in some way and ways consistent to when we first them, some decades ago. The alternating use of the TMP March and the TNG overture, the ever so subtle weaving of the Generations theme as the crew steps back onto the D, even the combat theme from WoK as the TITAN and SHRIKE do their little dance of death and portals. The lingering tones of Voyager's theme as the viewer understands that Seven momentary was back on her home. Even Voyage Home's can be heard as the viewer settles on the BOUNTY. Nuanced, pulling from all the eras, beautifully interwoven hints of what was, what is and what will be. This music tells the story all by itself.
This is pure magic. As Series 3 was a tribute to TNG, this is a real tribute to the whole Star Trek musical legacy: Goldsmith, Horner, of course but.... I heard some Rosenman at some point? And more than a nod to the score by McCarthy for Generations. It has got it all. Really really well done to Stephen Barton and Frederik Wiedmann for sprucing up their own new fantastic material with (not so hidden) gems.
This soundtrack. It brings the whole franchise back home, where it started in December 1979. Star Trek has aged like fine wine. Good to last intoxicating drop. Maybe this is why Gates McFadden was brought back for this. Her fierce timeless beauty personified this soundtrack.
@@sguinn91 Yes the FC rendition is probably top 3 of the film versions. Up there with TMP and The Final Frontier. This one tho wow they really got it right.
@@alfredvalrie5541 I've been hearing from an interview with Stephen Barton that it's a lot of the same musicians that performed on those scores and I can definitely hear it! I only wish this level of music and Storytelling was there in the first two seasons. Ugh, not even close.
@@alfredvalrie5541 The Jeff Russo theme definitely isn't bad, I would say it even fits the tone for the first two seasons. I just don't think it really fits Picard as a character the same way Jerry Goldsmiths music does.
When the Titan warped into the Moon at Daystrom in 'The Bounty', dude literally inserted the Vengeance warp theme (Harrison's Heart/Enter The Vengeance) from Into Darkness. Hit me right in the feels.
1:38:38 This sounds quite like something Howard Shore would write. It gives the Borg a very Nazgûl-like feel of terror. 2:07:10 Stephen Barton didn't write this. John Williams did, for Return of the Jedi. This is version 2.0 of the Death Star Trench Run....thank you, Terry Matalas!
I can put this on as background music and enjoy every ounce of it, but for some reason that Wrath of Khan cue at 1:11:59 and 1:12:17 always makes me stop whatever I'm doing just to vibe for a minute. Just one of many goodies packed into this incredible suite.
they can have a good and fitting soundtrack wrote if they want to. they just didn't want to before. not a new phenomenon. (see also: star trek IV). this soundtrack is how you do it. thank you.
"The missing part of me" Stunned me with the feels. Star Trek Picard is an understated masterpiece in Audio,Visuals and lore faithfulness. Now we trekkies can forgive for killing off Data; even more is that it never happened. All I hope is that Paramount see's the hype of Picard and Strange new world generated and keep it flowing cause we love this, we love star trek.
I realized on my fourth replay of this soundtrack that I'm inserting the engine start up sound at 1:55:00. This has got to be one of the most iconic Star Trek moments to be made in the last 20 years.
And to think that Sir Patric robbed us from this in season 1 and 2... He deservers a demotion to Captain again... and forced to serve on that ship for a few more years as punishment.. :) When museum exhibition is taken out on a ride by the staff of the museum :) Night at the museum 4 - Star Trek edition :)
This is marvelous but I need a CD version and hope it will come out soon. All my players are CD and my only PC is just CD as well...older computer! Older everything! Any idea when it will come out?
One of the best Star Trek soundtracks! Hope the soundtrack will get Emmy.
Of course it’s one of the best soundtrack it’s a greatest hits collection! So sad nostalgia is starting to ear peoples brains.
Completely agree ghfun1 !

*Raises a glass for Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner*
"Here's to you lads."
17:01 ... Best cue of the season! ... And of COURSE it had to be timestamp 1701.
I genuinely jumped up to yell “Holy Shit!” when the Titan jumped in like that.
Flashbacks to a certain Battlestar falling through the air on fire.
I am 100% buying the Vinyl ltd edition of this.
Absolutely beautiful soundtrack. Wow.
Felt like an epic TNG movie all the way through, loved it.
I just saw the website it said limited preorder batch so I'm guessing they'll get more in. It would be stupid not to cos ppl love this soundtrack
@@macklee6837 Any chance you could share the link to the site please? I have some Martin Logan speakers who are hungry to try out some vinyl haha
Absolutely the best music written for Trek since Goldsmith passed away.
1:54:54 - 1:56:04 The part that I'm here for. It's on loop constantly. I've cried so many times.
"Make it so" Tingles from that brass
dude
Same
1:55:50 is the part that gets me. This was such a perfect small movement for this scene. The whole score is fire.
My goosebumps have goosebumps.
2:18:21 I never would have thought that something like the triumph of love would be a Star Trek theme and that it would be so moving.
Yes, it has so much heart, love it. This might be one of the greatest Star Trek Scores ever made.
That's TNG, that series' meaning was family, finding it and holding it, cherishing them... and Picard has his own now, and he would die to be with it.
Didn't think any sci-fi soundtrack would surpass the Battlestar Gallactica remake by Bear McCreary, then along came Barton and Wiedmann with this. Absolute mastery.

@@tyhar7493 this music is both nostalgic and new. might be one of the finest mixtures I've heard. Horner's work in TWoK and TSfS is the stuff of legends. Barton on Wiedmann KILLED it with this soundtrack.

1:54:54 - 1:56:05 favourite part
I'm making 1:55:29 - 1:55:43 my new ringtone. That is one of the most triumphant themes I have ever heard.
Can help me do it?
Should make it an alarm tone. Start the day on the right note 😉
For years my ringtone has been "Dr. Ford" the piano piece from Westworld. Then this happened and I grabbed this music piece and its been my ringtone since :D

Picard: after all number 1, we're only mortal
Riker: Speak for yourself sir, i plan to live forever
the composer wove some many musical moments from nearly all the films into this score. this "Generations" theme is terrific here.
02:15:45 This was THE moment where I honestly thought Riker, Worf, Jack and Jean-Luc were never gonna make it out alive...the scoring really captured that emotion very well

"Leaving Spacedock" is definitely a homage to Horner's theme in Star Trek II when the original Enterprise exited Drydock.
Lordy.... Leaving Spacedock is so damn good! A mixture of so much beautiful Trek.
1:01:27 "Legacies" hits you right in the feels.
Anything featuring the Voyager theme always gets me
Gave me goosebumps
It's so awesome - interleaves so many themes from TMP through VOY and DS9
I'm not crying, everyone else is crying.
In addition to the classics, it mixes in the new melody used throughout some of the best original new songs from season 3. Stuff like A New Family, Evolution, and The Missing Part of Me.

Preordered the vinyl but please also release a CD
A New Family (46:13) is one of my favorite tracks in the soundtrack.
I have loved this season. It may be a bit nostalgia heavy and gimmicky at times but it's been great and the music has been fabulous. I hope Stephen Barton gets his dues.
@1:52:07 Dennis McCarthy's "To Live Forever" reference as they enter the bridge is perfect
Spot on James. I nearly fell out my chair when it heard it reprised. And how fitting that it be used when again they leave the bridge of the Enterprise-D for the last time. Definitely my favourite track from "Generations".
@@scottmcculloch3605we are speaking the same language my friend!. That reprise at "one year later" was just glorious. Always loved that track from the film.
1:55:28 - Where people cried with joy 🙂
Where's the end score from the series... the First Contact music?? I was so looking forward to that...
1:52:43 - 1:53:20 Gets me right behind the Comm badge every time. Reminds me of the opening notes of the reveal of the refit Enterprise in Spacedock
I hope this is released on CD! I don't think mp3s will do these tracks justice!
It's a 24 Bit/44.1kHz ALAC Lossless on Apple Music
The 24bit lossless FLAC is on Bandcamp for 10 bucks
Good lord this gets the Emmy right?
1:54:31 Wherever you go, we go.
1:39:37 Frontier Day
2:27:37 The Stars
39:30
1:50:52 "My friends, we've come home."
The Missing Part Of Me... that track sums it all up who loved TNG, doesn't it?
I love how every theme or overture for all nine movies and the series from the TNG era (minus LD and Prodigy) are featured in some way and ways consistent to when we first them, some decades ago. The alternating use of the TMP March and the TNG overture, the ever so subtle weaving of the Generations theme as the crew steps back onto the D, even the combat theme from WoK as the TITAN and SHRIKE do their little dance of death and portals. The lingering tones of Voyager's theme as the viewer understands that Seven momentary was back on her home. Even Voyage Home's can be heard as the viewer settles on the BOUNTY. Nuanced, pulling from all the eras, beautifully interwoven hints of what was, what is and what will be. This music tells the story all by itself.
Friggin' awesome finale season. Beatiful tie-up of so many things from TNG, VOY, DS9 and the movies. Absolutely loved it!
The fact Terry Matalas picked up composer Stephen Barton from the The TItanfall game series into the Star Trek fold was the right choice.
1:01:06 I can hear the Intrepid spooling up power in my head. Pissed off, Bussard collector burning, and ready to fire.
Man, I hope Terry Matalas is given the Star Trek franchise!
goldsmith would be proud
This is pure magic. As Series 3 was a tribute to TNG, this is a real tribute to the whole Star Trek musical legacy: Goldsmith, Horner, of course but.... I heard some Rosenman at some point? And more than a nod to the score by McCarthy for Generations. It has got it all.
Really really well done to Stephen Barton and Frederik Wiedmann for sprucing up their own new fantastic material with (not so hidden) gems.
This soundtrack. It brings the whole franchise back home, where it started in December 1979. Star Trek has aged like fine wine. Good to last intoxicating drop. Maybe this is why Gates McFadden was brought back for this. Her fierce timeless beauty personified this soundtrack.
*aged like a fine Romulan ale (since the consensus seems to be Picard's wine is not so great)
44:57 "LaForge, gun it! Stay inside!"
The best season the best soundtrack. It has everything love it ..
2:09:08 "Why am I sensing enjoyment?"
is there any Ron Jones in this? seems he was critical to TNG's early success
40. 'The Missing Part of Me' is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. That swell at 2:18:10 , my god!
Honestly 1:30:28 is the best bit of this soundtrack - turn up the volume and just sit in the sound. Spectacular.
2:28:18 is this the best rendition of the TMP/TNG main theme perhaps ever? I need to listen more closely when the LP comes out.
Probably my favorite rendition since First Contact!
@@sguinn91 Yes the FC rendition is probably top 3 of the film versions. Up there with TMP and The Final Frontier. This one tho wow they really got it right.
@@alfredvalrie5541 I've been hearing from an interview with Stephen Barton that it's a lot of the same musicians that performed on those scores and I can definitely hear it! I only wish this level of music and Storytelling was there in the first two seasons. Ugh, not even close.
@@sguinn91 I don’t mind the Picard theme. It grew on me. That being said, hat’s off to Jeff Russo for his part in crafting the music for season 3.
@@alfredvalrie5541 The Jeff Russo theme definitely isn't bad, I would say it even fits the tone for the first two seasons. I just don't think it really fits Picard as a character the same way Jerry Goldsmiths music does.
I don't suppose a CD release is considered?
Was it just me or were there elements of Michael Giacchino's great Star Trek theme?
When the Titan warped into the Moon at Daystrom in 'The Bounty', dude literally inserted the Vengeance warp theme (Harrison's Heart/Enter The Vengeance) from Into Darkness. Hit me right in the feels.
2:26:55 you hear it start to shift into it. Actual chills.
A little bit as well in 23:40
Maybe, but it really doesn’t belong here.
Amazing soundtrack with lots of nods to the series and films. Could listen to this all day...then again I do
Finally - it´s a real Star Trek Soundtrack!!! THANK YOU!
What an amazing soundtrack to fit an amazing season of Star Trek! First Trek I’ve really enjoyed since Enterprise ended 😢❤🎉
Outstanding soundtrack!
This is incredible. Thank you for uploading!!
1:38:38 This sounds quite like something Howard Shore would write. It gives the Borg a very Nazgûl-like feel of terror.
2:07:10 Stephen Barton didn't write this. John Williams did, for Return of the Jedi. This is version 2.0 of the Death Star Trench Run....thank you, Terry Matalas!
Make It So 1:50:01 nuff said
I really hope this score wins the Emmy, it is epic!
Grammy! Saturn award! Salilate awards! ❤
Which one is from the Szene where the Enterprise D is leaving the Museum and Go to Earth?
Make It So at 1:50:00 :)
I can put this on as background music and enjoy every ounce of it, but for some reason that Wrath of Khan cue at 1:11:59 and 1:12:17 always makes me stop whatever I'm doing just to vibe for a minute. Just one of many goodies packed into this incredible suite.
05:26 - Excellent rendition of the Enterprise-E theme "Star Field" from the Nemesis soundtrack for the Titan reveal.
The ending of make it so, perfect.
they can have a good and fitting soundtrack wrote if they want to. they just didn't want to before. not a new phenomenon. (see also: star trek IV). this soundtrack is how you do it. thank you.
loved the music in Season 3 great job guys
Make it so! Engage! Tea, Earl Grey, decaf, *PIPING* hot.
Love this soundtrack and the vinyl looks amazing. Can’t wait until May 12th to get a copy 😊
Get off my Bridge sounds a bit like Agents of Shield.
1:54:27
Which one is from the Szene where the Enterprise D is leaving the Museum and Go to Earth?
The music pulled you into the story this season. It was like it was a character itself.
To Lakeshore: Amazon does not have this music score as in CD format, only Vinyl (?). Where and when will the CD of the same here be released? !?
1:39:37 Ahhh... The F
"The missing part of me" Stunned me with the feels. Star Trek Picard is an understated masterpiece in Audio,Visuals and lore faithfulness. Now we trekkies can forgive for killing off Data; even more is that it never happened. All I hope is that Paramount see's the hype of Picard and Strange new world generated and keep it flowing cause we love this, we love star trek.
I realized on my fourth replay of this soundtrack that I'm inserting the engine start up sound at 1:55:00. This has got to be one of the most iconic Star Trek moments to be made in the last 20 years.
This deserves to sit alongside Goldsmith’s iconic TNG movie soundtracks, this soundtrack is itself one of the greats.
I'm missing the version of First Contact, when Picard speaks the toast at 10 Forward.
And to think that Sir Patric robbed us from this in season 1 and 2... He deservers a demotion to Captain again... and forced to serve on that ship for a few more years as punishment.. :)
When museum exhibition is taken out on a ride by the staff of the museum :)
Night at the museum 4 - Star Trek edition :)
This is marvelous but I need a CD version and hope it will come out soon. All my players are CD and my only PC is just CD as well...older computer! Older everything! Any idea when it will come out?
1:54:54 Me: Jean Luc…wherever the Enterprise goes……WE go.
Okay, this is some of the best Star Trek music since Ron Jones.
