According to Aint it Cool News The Enterprise opening sequence will not be having the traditional orchastra music , instead they will be useing a more "modern" remix of the Rod Stewart Song "Faith of the Heart" heard on the Soundtarck to Patch Adams. The new Music will be playing over images of past Earth expeditions like the landing on the moon , The Discovery of the New World.

Hmm... The opening montage of historic exploratory moments sounds interesting. I think that would be an interesting twist since Enterprise is supposed to be about mankinds voyage in deep space for the first time.
The music I'm not too sure about. If this story is true, then I'll be disappointed by it. However, I'm weary about the truthfulness of the source of the story. As the article says, AICN is pretty much hit-or-miss, plus Paramount probably would have been using that music already in the promos instead of snippets of "Wherever You Will Go." Add to that, every series and movie has to have a theme. By theme, I mean a sequence or two of music that causes the listener to automatically think of a particular thing.
Every series and movie (at least in the past few decades) has had a theme. You sometimes catch yourself humming it to yourself. Star Trek is the same. All the movies and series have had a central musical theme (with TMP and TNG sharing a theme, and TNG, TOS, the movies sharing the Enterprise fanfare). Enterprise is going to have to have one for the series composer to maintain a semblance for the series music. I don't think that Enterprise is going to depend on a Rod Stewart song that was featured on another soundtrack to provide that theme.

That sucks. It really does. All the other themes of the series were so memorable (especially Voyager's). Now, they're bringing in pop music to get a "wider audience." Everyone knows it's just Berman trying to rack up the ratings and money. So, if you're asked to do the themes of all the Star Treks, after Voyager you break into a Rod Stewart song? I hope the story is false. Cue the orchestra!

I'd prefer to wait and hear it before making any kind of judgments, but what interests me is will there be any voice-over commentary at the beginning? Such as Archer saying "Space, the final frontier," etc. I think such an opening sentence as this would be quite relevant to this series.

I hope that this isn't true, I like the orchestral music scores in Star Trek. I remember when I first watched The Next Generation and I was in awe of the music. That's when I was first exposed to orchestral music which led me to "classical music" then jazz and then to other types of music which are out of the mainstream market. I hope that when Star Trek: Enterprise finally airs, I will not be mad about the music. I'm already mad about the sets, I don't any need more reason to not watch the show.

Opening Dialouge is sort of a staple in the Star Trek Universe. it seems the series without it don't do as well as the ones with the opening Dialouge. Speaking of sets I thought some aspects were a little more futuristic than expected for that era.

Erm. I somehow doubt that people watched "DS9" and said, "hey, there's no opening dialogue. Let's not watch this."
IMO, considering that DS9 was by far the best Trek series ever produced in terms of quality, writing, etc. (and VOY was by far the worst), what you suggest Dr. Phlox is by far innacurate ... if anything, DS9 and VOY have succeeded/failed in spite of whether or not they had opening monologues, not because of it.

Yeah...opening dialogue... "Space...the final fronteir...these are the voyages of the USS Enterprise...to seek out new life...and new civilizations...to boldly go where no man (one) has gone before... Suddenly, Destiny Child's "Survivor" is heard all over the screen! Jammin' to the hit tunes of Enterprise!

Opening dialogues make a good series. I like that theory. That's why Babylon 5 was such a great series, that is until they used quotes for the dialogue.
I like they new music approach. Makes the 'feel' more closer to home, which in fact is exactly what this series is.
