4 out of 5 stars Disappointing But...   October 8, 2008
Unfortunately for me, this CD is a disappointment overall. Having said that, because I am a fan of the original series(only), I still give it a 4. The reason I say disappointing, is because somehow... the overwhelming majority of the sound effects are from one episode only - 'The Pilot'(the very first episode) w/ Capt. Pike. Oddly... for some reason, they also decided to include some sound effects from the Star Trek cartoon(WTF?)...

While 'The Pilot' is actually one of favorite episodes and the sound effects are very familar, this CD spends way too much time on this episode IMO. I believe, at this early point in the show, the sound effects are kinda crude/"1950ish"... Thankfully, the sound effects were made better in subsequent episodes. Unfortunately, these improved sound effects don't seem to be on this CD, ehem...

Now, this CD DOES include a few sound effects(and only a few) that are from the original series w/ Kirk. For me, this is what I expected there to be alot more of...hence the word: "disappointment". I'm actually surprised that TPTB released this CD the way they did - with this particular "collection of selections"... BUT, thankfully, and as I expected, there are no effects from the other Star Trek shows. This CD contains only... 'The Pilot', the cartoon...(WTF!) and a lonely few from the original series.

So, for the Star Trek fan out there, I would still have to say...BUY IT(no exclamation point). This is a must for your collection, yada, yada, yada. Just don't expect too much.



3 out of 5 stars Excellent, but mostly from one very old episode w/o Shatner.   April 28, 2005
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I listened to tracks 4,5,7,8,13, and 14.

Tracks 4,5,7, and 8 are DEFINITELY from the pilot episode
"The Menagerie" with Jeffrey Hunter (Captain Pike).

The long, drawn out transporter sequences on tracks 4 and 5
are easily recognizable from "The Menagerie", as is track 7
the Alien Planet Surface, and track 8 the Communicator Beeps
(it's the uncharacteristic "long beep" from "The Menagerie").

Track 14 the Warp Drive is a longish sequence and again sounds
suspiciously like the one heard on "The Menagerie".
As such, these sound tracks are not very representative of the
series, as the device sounds changed subtly but definitely
when NBC picked up the show with Shatner, Nimoy, et al, in 1966.

On the other hand, it's very nice for an old fan like me to have
access to these old, familiar sounds of a great T.V. show.
Thanks.



4 out of 5 stars Needed it, got it, used it   December 24, 2004
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I am not and never have been a fan of Star Trek, but these effects are nevertheless etched into my memory and are amusing to hear and to use as an in-joke for the many others who instantly recognize them.

I do remain a fan of electronic music of the '50s and '60s, which was so prominently featured in movies and TV shows of the same era. I refer in particular to track 37, "Alien Planet Atmosphere #2," which is quite obviously inspired by the 1962 Iannis Xenakis piece "Bohor."

It is funny to hear what sounds like a dot-matrix printer (track 52, "Library Computer on Bridge") in an age when printers already are practically silent.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent effects library   May 12, 2004
Just about every sound from the show you could want, although the tricorder sound effect and a high pitched sound when Sulu charged up the phasers are unfortunately missing-- though the latter can be heard in some of the bridge sequence mixes. I'm currently creating an animated Trek fan film, and this is an invaluable resource for putting it all together. Just got the CD from Amazon today, but originally had this on cassette many years ago.


1 out of 5 stars Fine I guess For Major Trekkies, But Boring For Anyone Else!   November 10, 2001
  2 out of 24 found this review helpful

I got this Star Trek sound effects CD for free I'm really more of a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generaton and Star Trek: Voyager, and a little bit of Deep Space Nine, not being all that familiar with the original Star Trek TV show from the 60's I really don't care that much for this CD, I find it kind of boring and sound effects are not really my thing. Only buy this CD or give it to someone as a present if either you or they are major Trekkies. I listened to this CD once and when I get the time I'm probably going to bring it to a store that trades used CD'S.
