Star Trek: Nemesis in Multichannel SACD - Available for $9 via Amazon

The SACD also includes a note from engineer Bruce Botnick:
«<em>The Star Trek film franchise has produced two soundtrack recordings that carry a very special historical significance. Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) was Jerry Goldsmith's first score in the Star Trek series and was the very first digital recording of a motion picture music score. Twenty three years later, at Paramount Pictures Music Scoring Stage M in August and September of 2002, Star Trek: Nemesis - the tenth in the series and Jerry Goldsmith's fifth - became the first motion picture music score to be recorded directly to DSD (Direct Stream Digital) and subsequently released on SACD hybrid 5.1/stereo and PCM. The mixes on this recording are live, with no remixes and only editing done between takes to perfect the performance.
DSD recording technology captures the live performance with a greater depth, frequency response and dynamic range than has ever before been possible. Jerry Goldsmith's score for Star Trek Nemesis, with its striking mix of electronics and an extraordinarily dynamic 96-piece orchestra, offered the ideal opportunity to marry great music with this new technology. This disc preserves a unique and historic event and represents a dramatic evolution in recorded sound.</em>»
