Star Trek music

There isn't a "General" section without a Role Playing distinction, but I wanted to share some fun music that I found online on YouTube. Hope it's okay to post this stuff, even though it's not about gaming. I'm listening to these while I surf the various gaming boards that I frequent, and I thought maybe someone else would be inspired by them as well.

The first link is a 50-year tribute to the music of Star Trek, and it lasts around 45 minutes. Seems like they spend a couple of minutes on each Trek property, from TOS to TAS, through the various series and some of the memorable movie music.

Here is a Star Trek piano experience that lasts 39 minutes. Really nice.

I've also found some "metal" versions of Star Trek music which really grab me as well. One guy calls himself "Captain Meatshield" and that's a strange name but I like his Trek tunes. This one is tunes from TNG and First Contact. Funny, but I hardly remember the Next Contact movie, but its music is so cool....

Also a "metal" version of the Voyager theme. The music is better than the show.

Also, a "Captain Meatshield" version of the Klingon Battle Theme from Star Trek TMP.

Dig these Star Trek punk guys, their music is here: www.nokilli.com/nokilli/songs_mp3.htm
It's not bad, and is definitely fun to listen to.

I like this Star Trek Theme disco/jazz fusion by Maynard Ferguson:

I have that on cassette tape! Maynard could really blow a horn, and this is no exception. Saw him and that amazing flugle horn of his live in Middle School then again later (I think) at Six Flags Great Adventure. He was really so good! Pretty sure I have this on MP3 somewhere, as well as a bootleg or three of live stuff.

The YouTube video is someone's LP rip. I believe all the CD/digital versions of this have the flute solo in the middle excised. So your best option is to convert the video to an MP3.

Thanks I'll have to figure that out. IIRC there's plenty of sites that can do that, huzzah!
