This is more like it. And the choice of episodes couldn’t be better – the two acclaimed second-season episodes featured some of the most memorable music to be heard from this point on in the series. The late Sol Kaplan’s familiar, belligerent Doomsday Machine action cues often underscored tense situations for the rest of the series, and Gerald Fried’s exotic bass guitar from Amok Time became the signature theme for all things Spockish or otherwise Vulcan. The mastering on the 4 out of 4album is outstanding, and the liner notes on the composers are interesting. Highly recommended for any fans of the original Trek.
