Story
It was a tricky one to arrange, especially because the original more or less is two tunes in one. I've always loved both the music and the game, and for some reason I woke up one morning with the track in my head. Hope you enjoy it! =]

Shouts
Waz shouts:
Nice attempt at doing something different with this tune. Plenty of flow and emotion and feel, and really progresses nicely, especially the lead which is lovely.
Chris Abbott shouts:
Gets an orange for successful weirdness.
LMan shouts:
Very innovative and atmospheric. The faster second half does not quite live up to what the ambient part promises IMHO. Extra points for great use of the famous Spock quote.:)
Dan shouts:
Sounds like a tune of two halves which misses out on the outstanding mark
Makke shouts:
Nice one! Makes you wonder what v1. 0 would sound like. ;) I liked the first half better than the second half.
Ziphoid shouts:
Well, this IS schizofrenic, but I like it. :) As makke said, the first half is better than the second, but nevertheless a nice enough tune with some nice tweaks here and there...
infamous shouts:
The beginning half is far more interesting than the 2nd half which is your pretty standard bonk bonk bonk affair.. But the tune is enjoyable and gets a higher mark than id usually give because its terramex and I loved the game and the tune xD
load_error shouts:
First half RED, second hald LIGHT GREEN. Total = YELLOW.
prowler shouts:
Very nice stuff!
eliot shouts:

joel_sim shouts:

exo shouts:
I love this! Sort of Moog meets Jogeir meets Skitz. :S
romeo_knight shouts:
Good idea, nice mood.
condor shouts:
Good remix. Far from outstanding, but after listening other new tunes, you have very good. First opinion was good, second part is not working.
grytulf shouts:
Original and flawless sound, maybe a bit to non melodic to get a perfect score
LaLa shouts:
Nice minimalism with some trancey elements. I wish the second half was longer and the first half was shorter.
cosmic_gerbil shouts:
It's OK, but a bit tame and the talking is annoying
Dumper shouts:
The first half is by far the best and I would of liked it to have been longer, still very nice.
ceejay shouts:
Excellent Opening better than most movies. Good Solid Tune. Great use of Stereo, adds depth to the music. Leonard Nimoy's quote is Awesome! :) Live Long and Prosper...
spellcoder shouts:
Very original and well done!
anaconda shouts:
Could work as a gametune.
floaf shouts:
Too bad the second part is so short, I want more, MORE!!!!! :-D
omoroca shouts:
I love the "infinite diversity in infinite combinations" sample, it gives this tune this very special extra futuristic kick. Great work! Added to my collection.
Zilog shouts:
Lovely.

Overall rating

This one cuts my feelings about it in half.

the slow 1st part really kicks the emotion of the tune. dark, lofied and deep. this gets my attention really quick. a busting sample (is it spock?) appears with delay. the lead is very overwhelimg and cool.

the break also fits very well. but now it turns, like the original, into a dance tune (and this is where the sid lacks). instead using the unique style at the 1st part, krafft turns to the origin dance part, which is done in a standard remix way. i wish he somehow managed to stay at the athmosphere before and added some signals from the second part.

overall it is a very good tune and it is added to my collection.
