Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - Complete Expanded Soundtrack - 08 A Tall Ship

Recently it came to my attention that there was no real upload on YouTube of the 2010 release of the complete extended soundtrack for Star Trek V. It was actually kind of a pain to even find a way to obtain this extended soundtrack on the internet, legitimately or otherwise.

Whatever you may think of Star Trek V as a movie, its soundtrack is above reproach. This edition of the soundtrack is 31 minutes longer than the initial release and features some really great compositions that weren't cleanly heard before. Jerry Goldsmith is in top form here. This soundtrack sits at a place where his style had matured from the groundbreaking score of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but was still taking you in interesting new directions. You can definitely pick out some of the compositional similarities to his later scores like Total Recall and Mulan as well.

Some highlights:

-Sybok's theme
-The amazing Klingon theme from TMP, which really gets its time in the spotlight here
-"The Mountain" (basically the theme representing the main trio's friendship in this movie)
-"A Busy Man" (used in this film to represent the journey to find God, but brought back very prominently in the TNG movies as a theme of friendship for that crew)
-The many ways Goldsmith iterates on the main TMP theme, even going so far as to quietly bring back his rejected TMP theme as one of those variations!

Enjoy!
