Greetings! ScoreKeeper here toasting the soundtrack savants over at Film Score Monthly for their latest and greatest gluttonous collection of fabulous film music...or in this case, television music. Scores...The final frontier. If you have even the slightest interest in film or television scores then you are certainly aware of the Brobdingnagian influx of music that is being unleashed on a near daily basis. All the major labels continue their battle for our hard-earned dollars and we're left reaping the rewards. There are so many highly-revered titles coming out, my due diligence struggles to keep up with them all. The next bombshell is the fifth box set release by Film Score Monthly. I'm a huge fan of their box sets and have the previous four in my personal collection (FSM Box-001 "Elmer Bernstein's Film Music Collection," FSM Box-002 "Superman: The Music," FSM Box-003 "MGM Soundtrack Treasury," FSM Box-004 "Miklós Rózsa Treasury"). Today, FSM announced that they are releasing an unprecedented 14 disc box set including the complete scores for forty, that's right...forty episodes of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (1987-1999) all composed by Ron Jones!





This limited edition box set (5000 copies) features sixteen hours of complete scores from forty episodes aired during the first four seasons of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION including bonus tracks from Jones' "The Best of Both Worlds" and two computer games, "Starfleet Academy" (1997) and "Starfleet Command (1999). The audio samples sound exquisite as is usually the case with Film Score Monthly releases. This is truly a labor of love and a life-long wish fulfilled for album producer and Film Score Monthly founder Lukas Kendall. The online liner notes are available HERE. For more information including a list of episodes contained on the disc, audio samples from selected tracks, and pre-ordering information visit HERE. Autographed copies were available to the first 100 buyers but those have quickly been snatched up. If you would still like to get an autographed copy of the set for yourself, Ron Jones will be at Dark Delicacies on September 19th at 2:00PM to signs copies of this new box set. Pre-orders for autographed copoies are also being taken for those living outside of the Los Angeles area. Check out the web site for Dark Delicacies for more information. Engage!
