From 1966 until 1993, there was one constant in the Star Trek universe: The USS Enterprise, the ship that took Kirk, Spock, Picard, Riker and a myriad of crew through the furthest reaches of space to explore new worlds and seek out new life and new civilization. Nearly three decades later, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine changed the game – and the musical fruits of that endeavor have been newly anthologized by La-La Land Records.
Deep Space Nine took viewers on the decks of the eponymous space station, a vital stop beside the Bajoran wormhole. A crew of Starfleet officers and other colorful characters, including Avery Brooks as Starfleet Commander Benjamin Sisko, Rene Auberjonois’ Odo, the shape-shifting head of security for the station; and the unforgettable Ferengi bartender Quark (Armin Shimerman), populated Deep Space Nine. (Later, after the end of sister show Star Trek: The Next Generation, the Klingon Worf (Michael Dorn) transfered from the Enterprise to DS9.) In its seven seasons, the series investigated many of the deeper issues of equality and justice that previous Trek installments weren’t afraid to tackle – but it did so with the added benefit of trying longer, multi-episode story arcs more in line with traditional episodic television.
Like its predecessors, DS9 was graced by some solid television soundtrack work from veterans of both Trek and television. Dennis McCarthy, who scored many episodes of The Next Generation, wrote a gorgeous, stately theme for the series, and shared scoring duties with composers like Jay Chattaway, Richard Bellis and John Debney. A good five hours of that music is presented on a new four-disc set from La-La Land. One disc features compositions by McCarthy, one devoted entirely to Chattaway, another to “the new recruits” and a final disc intriguingly presents an album assembled for release during the program’s lifespan that remained unreleased until this set.
