Really? They sound like it to me. STII uses TOS themes, sometimes whole, in a more obvious manner IIRC. But TMP's soundtrack does, it seems to me, allude to them and adapt them in nifty little ways that are not immediately obvious. > And Next Generation ripped them off. And did them to death. That's certainly true...but it's not the original soundtrack's fault. > Whereas in STII:TWoK, The themes are actually from TOS, and superior in > many ways. The Music fits the movie perfectly without being cut (unlike > every single star wars movie). I'd have to listen to STII more carefully to do a comparison, but ST:TMP does a superb job of fitting music to action, IMO. IIRC for the most part its cues play pretty much from beginning to end in the course of the film with very little cutting if any (much better than Star Wars in this respect, I agree). The re-editing of the expanded version and the re-contracted version of the movie might have changed this, though.
