Neil S. Bulk and Mike Matessino La-La Land Records have done what many thought was impossible, they have brought us the soundtrack to Star Trek The Animated series.  The music, created by jazz composer and conductor who worked with the likes of Billie Holiday, Barbara Streisand and Buddy Holly, can have an ear worm effect when watching consecutive episodes because only 30 minutes of music was created for 9 hours worth of episodes. But why was this a seemingly impossible task? All the master music tracks are missing and presumed destroyed. Tune in and learn about how this impossible feat of rebuilding the soundtrack was accomplished.

The Music of The Man Trap. One reason that the music of The Original Series are memorable because it was only necessary to compose and record for a certain number of episodes each season. The rest would be tracked with previously recorded material. Gene Roddenberry was extremely happy with the music that Alexander Courage created for the two pilot episodes, "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before." Therefore it was no surprise that he didn't hesitate to enlist Courage's talents once again when it was decided that the first episode to air would be "The Man Trap." In this special 50th episode of Melodic Treks, host Brandon-Shea Mutala is joined by soundtrack producer Neil S. Bulk to discuss the score to "The Man Trap" fifty years after its first airing. We talk about the use of the electric violin and Gene Roddenberry's reaction to this interesting instrument.
