Merrick here...
The soundtack CD of Michael Giacchino's forthcoming STAR TREK score has been detailed by Varese Sarabande's website. Its notes & abstract track listings are as follows:
From Producer / Director J.J. Abrams From producer/director J.J. Abrams (Lost, Mission: Impossible: III, and Fringe) comes a new vision of the greatest space adventure of all time, Star Trek, featuring a young, new crew venturing boldly where no one has gone before. Starring Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Simon Pegg as Scotty, with Eric Bana, Winona Ryder and Leonard Nimoy. Composer Michael Giacchino, who has served as J.J. Abrams’ musical lieutenant on all his projects, follows the extraordinarily rich musical legacy of Alexander Courage, Jerry Goldsmith, and James Horner, as he boards the Enterprise for her maiden voyage. In the tradition of Batman Begins, this is STAR TREK for a new generation, and is the most anticipated blockbuster of the 2009 summer season. Paramount Pictures will open STAR TREK nationwide on May 8. Varèse Sarabande Catalog #: 302 066 966 2 Release Date: 5/5/09 1. Star Trek (1:03) 2. Nailin’ the Kelvin (2:09) 3. Labor of Love (2:51) 4.

The background music that spools up is the film's main theme, and appears in multiple iterations throughout the movie (quiet, heroic, etc.). Our own ScoreKeeper wrote more about the entirety of Giacchino's score (in film context - not stand alone) HERE. Giacchino's STAR TREK music is available for preorder...

I mention all this for two reasons: 1) We've received more than a few e-mails asking about this soundtrack, when/where it would be available, etc. Hopefully these details will be helpful. 2) As a heads up. In the very near future, you'll have a chance to win one of...a few...copies courtesy of Varese Sarabande (via AICN). Stay tuned!
