Soundtrack Alley 181 Star Trek IV The Voyage Home
Hello, I am Randy Andrews, your host. We have two to go after this one for older Star Trek Episodes
this is the fourth episode in a series of episodes for Star Trek
This one is of course for Star Trek IV The Voyage Home
Eric Woods and I go into detail on the film and its background. We discuss the behind the scenes, the props , the models, the issues with the Challenger accident as well as the dedication for the crew of that ship. This is one of the most beloved favorite of Star Trek films.
This episode will involve discussing some of the trivia from IMDB curated and then discussing some of the liner notes from the deluxe edition of the score of the film. Then we will discuss some key music cues from the film and see how those affect us or even show wonders of Leonard Rosenman whom Leonard Nimoy picked to score the film. We talk a lot about the ending cue which stands out for the whole film honestly.
