Never Quite Understood Blogs...

I've never quite understood blogs before... honestly I can't say I do now that I'm doing one, either. LOL. Most people 'blog' about their life, their job, their beliefs, whatever else. They say it's therapeutic, and I don't doubt that; but who in the hell wants to read about other peoples lives like that? Seriously! So I won't bore you all with such ramblings. I'll just point you to some more awesome Sci-Fi Scores!

These are not my own uploads, but rather ones I ran across myself. So I can't take any credit for releasing them, nor would I -- I'm just letting everyone know of them and where to find them! My logic being, the more people who have this stuff, the better; if only six people have it, it can be destroyed or deleted or what not. If a thousand people have it, it's that much harder to get rid of! That's been my philosophy with rare scores, but until now I've had no outlet to practice what I preach and share them with others.

Over at From Unknown Origins I happened across a rare score (actually, three - but I had the other two) from Star Trek: Enterprise. I know, I know, that was the worst of the Star Trek series and it lead to the demise of the franchise pretty much, but this particular score I'm pointing you towards (or rather, two scores in one download) is primarily from one of the few good episodes of the show: "In a Mirror, Darkly" - the season 4 duology which was done totally in the Mirror Universe, and offered us a chilling view of an alternate reality. The episode was also the first and only time in 40 years of Star Trek that they created alternate opening titles for the show, specifically for those two episodes. While that theme has, of course, been available to download since the episode aired, the score for the entire two-parter contains a higher-quality copy as well as all the rest of the duologies music.

In addition to "In a Mirror, Darkly" this download also has the score for the Enterprise finale episode "These Are the Voyages..." which is widely considered the worst. finale. ever. Still, it had a few moments of good music - especially the end track which featured elements of the famed Star Trek theme. And since it's included in the "In a Mirror, Darkly" download file... you don't have much choice but to download it anyway! Both scores are the work of veteran Trek composer Dennis McCarthy who also scored the opening theme to Trek-Sibling Deep Space 9 as well as the seventh feature film, Generations (of which I'm looking for the expanded non-SFX score of!). The download link is about 25% of the way down the page, so to save you time, here is a direct link...

If that link doesn't work, just let me know; I've got the score myself so I can make an upload of it.

Also, if you're a Trek music fan and want the scores for Enterprise episodes "Canamar" and "Regeneration" they're both over there as well. I've seen them on other pages, though, so I do not know if those two are exclusive or not. If you want them, you know where to go find them.

Thanks to From Unknown Origins for "In a Mirror, Darkly" and "These Are the Voyages..." scores!


EDIT:
Finally got around to uploading the score to replace the original dead link. Sorry for the delay, but as I mentioned in a previous entry, I'm a procrastinator! I almost delayed putting it up longer, under my copy of Enterprise season 4 comes from Amazon, so that I could generate proper titles for all the tracks to go with their scenes, but I knew if I did that, I'd simply never get around to it.

Hi Mate, just dropped by to see what's going on.
I guess you're busy off downloading goodies from somewhere:)

Two albums that seem impossible to run across are soundtracks to two TV shows:
The Outer Limits(The original series)
and
One Step Beyond. Am I the only one who remembers John Newland as your guide into the unknown? probably not.

Hi. I just stumbled upon your site, and followed the links to the ENT scores for Canamar and Regeneration. They no longer work from that site, but do you have them to upload?

Thanks!
