This is the original soundtrack CD of Jerry Goldsmith's original score for STAR TREK-FIRST CONTACT featuring additional music by his son, Joel Goldsmith.

Even-numbered Star Trek movies tend to be better, and First Contact (#6 in the popular movie series) is no exception--an intelligently handled plot involving the galaxy-conquering Borg and their attempt to invade Earth's past, alter history, and "assimilate" the entire human race. Time travel, a dazzling new Enterprise, and capable direction by Next Generation alumnus Jonathan Frakes makes this one rank with the best of the bunch. Capt. Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his able crew travel back in time to Earth in the year 2063, where they hope to ensure that the inventor of warp drive (played by James Cromwell) will successfully carry out his pioneering warp-drive flight and precipitate Earth's "first contact" with an alien race. A seductive Borg queen (Alice Krige) holds Lt. Data (Brent Spiner) hostage in an effort to sabotage the Federation's preservation of history, and the captive android finds himself tempted by the queen's tantalizing sins of the flesh!

Sharply conceived to fit snugly into the burgeoning Star Trek chronology, First Contact leads to a surprise revelation that marks an important historical chapter in the ongoing mission "to boldly go where no one has gone before.

This was composer's Jerry Goldsmith's third score for the STAR TREK feature film series and features a haunting and beautiful man theme as well as the return of his popular ENTERPRISE theme from the original STAR TREK-THE MOTION PICTURE.

Due to being called away to re-score another project (GHOST IN THE DARKNESS) , the composer enlisted the aid of his son (and highly respect film composer in his own right) Joel Goldsmith to provide additional music for the film mostly pretaining to the scenes with the BORG.

The result is considered one of the strongest scores of the entire STAR TREK feature film series.
