Yeah, I like it. It looks like it's going to tie the Star Trek reality a bit closer to ours, so it doesn't seem so distant.

I saw the Enterprise commercial, with Bakula looking up at the sky right? I'm rather interested in this series more. I was never one of those people that cried out "This is the end of Trek!" sure I don't like that it's not as consistant as I wish, but that's not gonna stop me from watching it or enjoying it.

I think lots of people fell victim to the cool music they played during the promo, and fast/slow video tricks. I'm playing the Devil's Advocate here, but had they not used anything like that, it'd be a notably average promo. Just imagine the promo to the Voyager title theme - you'll see what I mean.
Now, if they use that kind of music in the actual show, THAT would really impress me.

Actually, I rather disliked the music. Thought it was the worst element of the promo and could have elicited the same emotional responce with a better choice.

What was the music like? (For some reason, I'm hoping it's similar to the music used on one of CN's Powerpuff Girl adverts, but that might be weird. "Let Me Entertain You", which is currently being used on a Dexter ad would be cool though.)

Liam: Kinda Creed/Bush sounding alternative shtuff from a band called "The Calling." I think the song's title was "Wherever you will go" or something to that effect.

Yeah, I didn't like the choice of music for the ad. It kind of reminded me of when they played "Song 2" by Blur in the Starship Troopers ads. I think that that sort of music, ie. contemporary pop/rock, doesn't fit well with Star Trek, and makes the whole thing seem blatantly commercial, like a "summer box-office" movie.

The music is supposed to sound like Generations from waht I heard. I also heard it will be a bit more electronic and upbeat, sort of tecnho-ish. I really hope so. I love the way trek music has been, but techno is always a welcome change.

The Generations thing comes from an "internal use only" promo sent out to the UPN stations that someone saw, and apparently it was just scored with the straight Dennic McCarthy Generations theme.
The only thing we know about the theme/incidental music is that they're going to try to work in a bit more "contemporary" sounding stuff. Whether that'll be tossing in some electric guitar or switching to shit electronica like B5 had is anyone's guess.
I'd just love to hear Apocalyptica do a Trek theme .

I dunno. I liked B5's music, but I can't see it working for Star Trek.
OTOH, Trek TV music is usually pretty boring. It's not awful by any means, but it hardly sets the imagination on fire. Wandering chords, with no danger of a tune ever emerging. The few times they did although the music guys to use "themes", it sounded really good. Tin Man, BOBW, and Call To Arms all had really good soundtracks. But 90% of Trek music is exactly the same, and it's very, very dull.
Techno would be awful though. Awful.
