 Rating:  - May not load to iTunes/iPodI like this CD a great deal. It is one of my favorite soundtracks. However, when I tried to load my copy to iTunes, the format wasn't compatible. Something weird about the "enhanced" CD thing. So, I'd suggest that if you want a CD to load to an iPod, you buy the mp3 download version. Rating:  - Star Trek music at its bestBeing a fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars (contrary to popular theory, there are many of us that like both) Jerry Goldsmith's scores for Trek are second only to John Williams's scores for Star Wars. First Contact is my favorite Trek film due in no small part to the great music. The majestic theme is fantastic and the action sequences and the Borg music are simply awesome.

My favorites are "First Contact" and "Insurrection." First Contact blends Insurrection style writing, with a little "Terminator." It is a classical, techno, cinema lovers dream score. The themes for the Vulcan first contact, Picard, and Lily are simply beautiful. While, the themes for the Borg queen and the drones are eerie, clangy, and downright perfect. A really great CD. Joel did a good job too. Maybe now that Jerry's gone, he'll give ... Read More Rating: - Goldsmith's 2nd Greatest Trek ScoreThis score is right behind TMP (which wasn't a bad movie, really). One of the pluses is that the famous theme is only used twice on the album. In its place is a more traditional orchestral theme that has an epic quality to it, yet never feels pretentious. I would have to say my favorite track is the first, Main Title/Locutus, not just because of the First Contact theme, but because we get to hear Joel Goldsmith's Locutus which is perfect for the opening pullback and subsequent handhelds.
