I saw a Star Trek the other day with an almost identical sound as one of those bassy synth sounds in that second track. They used it for magnified heart beats in Season 1 | Episode 20, "Court Martial". That reminds that I watched Star Trek: The Motion Picture recently and I would say the musical score by Jerry Goldsmith is probably the single best thing about the movie. I love how the blaster beam is incorporated with the music:

I've been playing Hotline Miami 2, so I've been listening to the soundtrack a lot lately. Carpenter Brut, probably the best synthwave, at least amongst the best in that genre of music. Magic Sword, that was good, must listen to more of their stuff.

I just watched the original episode with Khan which got me wanting to watch Wrath again. I've never watched the original series all the way through as I have most of the others (still need to binge Next Gen--I've missed a few). I'm really enjoying these original episodes, even the ones I remember. Watched the one the other night where the planets wage computer warfare, then citizens are selected to report to disintegration chambers. Killer stuff! I remember that one from when I was a kid. Saw one last night with a creature called a 'horta', made me wonder if Roddenberry borrowed that from the Tarzan novels (I know the Barsoom series was influential in his writings). 'Horta' was the ape word for a boar.

I received a 4K Apple TV unit and have been slowly building a library of films and music. Of course I had to purchase the CtB soundtrack. Basil Poledouris is glorious in 7.1!

'Horta' was the ape word for a boar. TMP has a poor reputation overall but I've come to enjoy it more and more over time (note that I have the director's edition that was released on DVD a while back). It's a little chilly compared to the original series but it does keep up the Star Trek feel, and it's the most grandiose of any of the films. There's a genuine "holy shit" quality to everything about V'Ger that you just don't get in sci-fi movies very much anymore, and with movies being so hyperactive today, it's refreshing to go back and watch something that takes its time and breathes. I like the original TV show best, the first two seasons being the best. Never really got into Next Generation despite trying. There are certain things TNG does in terms of production design and its music, the lack of tension between the characters, and the technobabble resolutions they often relied on that kept me from ever getting too enthusiastic about it despite having some great actors and occasionally some good stories.

The episode of TNG, where Data made a child, was compelling. Overall, I've enjoyed all the various mutations. Voyager might be my favorite of the post-60s efforts, but I enjoyed Enterprise, too. I'm seen most all of them, but for the originals (episodes here and there) and this latest one (Discovery).

Never a good sign when somebody puts out a "50th Anniversary" set and I end up spending all Thanksgiving weekend putting together the set that SHOULD have come out. But that's what ended up happening with the Electric Ladyland 50th Anniversary set. You get the original album, plus a Blu-ray with a 5.1 mix (serious audiophiles are up in arms about the compression used, but I don't have a good set up these days to worry about that). For bonuses, they included half a CD of hotel demos, the other half has some alternate tracks. The other extra CD is a concert from a month before the album came out where Hendrix played exactly one song from the album (to be fair, he only ever played 4 in total, plus snippets of a couple of others here and there). The annoying thing: the new alternates sound really good, would've loved to have heard some other things I have in boot form cleaned up nicely. But, twas not to be.

Apparently you're not alone, John. ~3.5 Stars on Amazon.

Oh I know I’m not alone! Compared to others out there I’m a fan of the set! The big selling point-I got it for $42 bucks, which is a bargain for what’s included. The estate’s thinking was to make an anniversary set accessible to people who’ve never owned the album 🙄

R.I.P. Randy Rhoads (December 6, 1956 – March 19, 1982)
He'll live in hearts and minds forever, I think.
