GNP Crescendo releases a CD of Dennis McCarthy’s from Emissary, the two-hour pilot episode of the syndicated science fiction series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The album includes both of the tracks included on the Theme From Star Trek: Deep Space Nine CD single released at the same time. 
Wow. If you thought this was impressive with the sound effects and dialogue over it, you’d better fasten your safety belts and listen to this thing with headphones on at full blast. Much more action in the music than the show’s sound mix would lead one to believe. What’s more, McCarthy even makes brief use of the “chorus” effect initiated by Ron Jones for the Borg all the way back in Best Of Both Worlds. The original incarnation of the DS9 theme tune is majestic, the scenes surrounding the discovery of the wormhole are haunting, ethereal and mysterious, and the action sequences 
are shattering. I highly recommend this mold-breaking Trek soundtrack over almost any other CD with the Star Trek title on the cover. It’s on the DNP Album List, too.
