Here's a little something for all of you Star Trek music fans. I recently picked up this CD that contains many of the Star Trek TV and Movie theme songs. They are not the original recordings and normally I don't buy these types of CD's but this one is very well done with some nice variations on the original music. Here is a sample of the Voyager theme song actually conducted by Jerry Goldsmith with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Jerry actually conducts 3 of the songs on the CD. The filesize is about 1.5 MB:

I like how this Voyager theme is slightly slowed down allowing the listener to really get into the music. I would suspect that the time limitations on the TV show forced him to conduct the theme at a faster pace.
Other tracks include the themes from most of the Star Trek movies with conductors such as Cliff Eidelman, Fred Steiner, and Frederic Talgorn with the Seattle and Scottish Symphony orchestras. Well worth a listen. Here is more info with samples:
