And the music to Star Trek VI was largely based off of Holst's The Planets. The most telling part is the opening sequence -- sounds way too similar to Mars, Bringer of War. But I'll agree, I liked the ST6 music.

ST6, Generations, First Contact and ST2 and 3 were the best. I do own all the soundtracks...but those are my faves

There's a reason that ST VI sounds like The Planets. Originally, Meyer wanted to score the film with Holst's music. But they couldn't afford the rights (which is a good thing, I think). The low amount of money available probably explains why they got a relative "unknown" to do the music. I imagine Meyer told Chris Eithingy to make it sound like the planets. And he did a good job overall.

The music.. I like Blur - Song 2. Creed on the other hand I hate and all the other depressing crap songs my radio station refers as 'MopeRock'.
The preview itself I liked. It got me interested in Enterprise, kind of the whole point. Aside from the ripped off Akira design, or a few other visual inconsistancies I won't let that stop me from enjoying it.

I'd like to see a "Zimmer-like" soundtrack for Enterprise as opposed to as "Williams-like" soundrtack, if that makes sense. Listen to the soundtracts to Crimson Tide (one of my favorite soundtracks) or The Rock and compare with Star Wars or any Trek movie to see what I'm talking about. Still classical, still orchestral, but with a more modern beat and drum line. I think it would fit both the era and the thematic ideas associated with a more dangerous, unproven time of exploration.

If you really want to hear Holst, listen to the pre-battle leadup in "Sacrifice of Angels."

The only technoTrek music I can think of is Generations and Star Trek 4 opening music. Now Trek4 is shit music.
I think they need to change the music slightly but not to the point where you think that UPN is trying to bring in a younger crowd (which it is) See where I live UPN is viewed as a BET type network, just doesn't blantly tell you that's all. See if Trek was on any other real networkds like CBS, NBC, FOX or whatnot Trek could have a better ratings but it will be hard pressed to keep it like that though.
Its not 'the end of Star Trek' until they start having a 'babe of the week' type episode. That worked for TOS but now, its viewed as trash now.

I'm going to go give it a chance, but I won't watch it as a Star Trek series. I'll watch it as a new sci-fi one instead. Like Farscape or Babylon 5. I downloaded the promo and took some shots off it to get a better idea on it too, I need more though.

It means I don't see it as being apart of the Star Trek universe. It looks nothing like Trek at all from the promo I've seen. Instead of thinking of it as being another segment of Star Trek, I'll consider it to be something new and different from that whole franchise.
