Today on THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS, Erik Woods, Robert Daniels, and Randy Andrews continue their journey through the STAR TREK films and their soundtracks as they discuss the ninth movie in the series, STAR TREK: INSURRECTION. STAR TREK: INSURRECTION is the third STAR TREK film to star the cast of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, with guest stars F. Murray Abraham, Donna Murphy, and Anthony Zerbe. In the film, the crew of the USS Enterprise-E rebels against Starfleet command after they discover a conspiracy with a species known as the Son'a to steal the peaceful Ba'ku's planet for its rejuvenating properties. In this episode of THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS, Randy Andrews, Rob Daniels and Erik Woods revisit Jerry Goldsmith's exciting and emotionally charged score to STAR TREK: INSURRECTION. The hosts first discuss the film's reputation, its moral conflict surrounding the relocation of the Baku, Picard's evolving relationship with Starfleet, the romance between Picard and Anij, the performances of the cast, the film's humour, visual effects, cinematography and Jonathan Frakes' direction. The second half of the episode dives deeply into Jerry Goldsmith's score, including discussions on Goldsmith's use of melody, electronics, solo instruments, orchestration, 90s action writing, and his brilliant underscoring of dialogue. The original soundtrack album was released at the time of the film's release in December 1998 by GNP Crescendo Records, featuring just under 45 minutes of musical highlights. In 2013, GNP Crescendo Records re-released the soundtrack for the film as an expanded collector's edition, featuring previously unreleased tracks plus four bonus tracks newly remastered by Bruce Botnick with liner notes by Jeff Bond and John Takis.
