    I couldn't find a thread on Ron so I decided to start one. Although he's not that famous, anyone else liked his work on the Superman Animated series in the Blue Box set as much as me? Yeh, it wasn't as good as Williams' or Thorne's work, but it definitely had good cues like "Trouble in the park...", "Super defendroid - operation nugget" and "Superman's family album" which I loved.

    Other remarkable scores he's done are Star Trek: The Next Generation Vol. 2 and the Disney TV Series "DuckTales" which sadly hasn't got any score release. All that was available was an @160 bitrate MP3 suite on Ron's official website (www.ronjonesproductions.com) and Disney made him take off even that. You can watch the episodes on YouTube and see how beautiful is the music he wrote for this series! smile
  2. I loved his score for TNG´s episode "The Best of Both Worlds". I wished the producers had allowed for spectacular music more often, but they wanted it to be dumped in the background. A massive mistake, if you ask me.
  3. I see no evidence disney made him take it off; all the clips have been down for quite a while now.

    I emailed him asking why he took off the suite, and he told me it was because of "copyright issues with Disney".

    Yes he is.

    I agree his work on Superman Animated is very good! Very nice to have it included in the Blue Box!

    Speaking of the Blue Box, I recently decided to have another look at the wonderful book that came with it only to find that the pages were coming away from the spine! I dont know if one of my friends damaged it while I wasnt looking or what? Or was it just crappy glue? Very sad!

    Yep! I haven't been able to find the soundtrack unfortunately... but then again, many of his scores haven't got official releases. I was surprised when I saw Superman Animated series on the Blue Box tracklist! wink

    I remember people commenting that the booklet was prone to falling apart if read!

    If memory serves me, Producer Berman didn't want anything that sounded "militaristic"? rolleyes

    Just imagine the loss of great scores if he'd been in charge during TOS.

    I don´t know the details, but we can be quite happy that Berman wasn´t around for TOS, agreed.

    Hey all, just wanted to share with you that Ron Jones' new website has launched, with over 3.5 hours of audio to enjoy!

    I consider a project a success when Thor says he won't buy it
  13. Fantastic. Nice logo too. Surprised at all the unreleased cues there are, especially from ST:TNG.

    Ron just posted on Facebook that Lukas Kendall (FSM) is putting together a new score release for the Star Trek series. Here's the original post -

    Lukas Kendall is putting a collection of 14 CD's together from my Star Trek:The Next Generation. It seems to be coming together into a very nice release. I am glad the music will finally be heard on it's own. Thanks Lukas. Ron

    W00T! punk
  16. Star Trek: TNG had memorable music? confused

    Maybe I always watched a different show.

    I don't know about the series (I never watched it) but the Vol. 1 soundtrack was very good IMO.
  18. Generally, the producers wanted the music to stay in the background, but there are some nice excemptions from that rule (which made them stand out even more), although I think the most obvious ones are already out on CD, including the excellent score from "The Best of Both Worlds" and that flute theme from "The Inner Light" and "Lessons". I would like to hear more, but I doubt I´ll be able to afford a 14 CD collection.

    I watched the series sporadically in the 90's, but didn't pay much attention to the music, so a set like this holds no interest to me. But impressive undertaking, for sure! I'm sure it will be a "fan pleaser". I do have "The Inner Light" on the STAR TREK 30TH ANNIV. CD, though, which is a fine little score by Mr. Chattaway, if memory serves.
    I am extremely serious.
  20. You´re right, "The Inner Light" may be Chattaway´s. Well, it´s been some time since I revisited that stuff. But "Best of Both Worlds" is definitely Ron Jones.

    Another market trick. One that will obviously work wonders.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  22. I don't think Lukas will like the spilling of the beans there, but I haven't checked the FSM board yet.

    14 fucking CDs? I hope that split up -- that too much to plop down; I don't even have that kind of money left over at the end of paying food/gas/bills.

    I would say very UNmemorable music....wasn't Rick Berman notorious for not letting his composers off the leash on Trek!??

    Either way I won't be buying but I hope it sells well, the effort soundtrack labels ( particularly FSM ) put into thier releases are to be commended and supported.

    Ron Jones wrote easily the least unmemorable music in TNG (and if you believe him, was fired because of it) but I'm not sure I could get through 14 CDs of it! If it were a couple of dollars a disc then I'd probably get it out of curiosity (being a Star Trek fan and all) - look forward to further details.

    A lot of effort for sure but does another pair of eyes read the review - maybe an editor to catch grammatical errors, run on sentences, a poorly worded anecdotes - before it goes on line?

  27. Well, I pointed out an error or two to [n]Bregt[/b], and also noted a couple parts that weren't in italic, but I guess the fixing wasn't made.

    The rest, I could give a crap less about.

    Also, my hookey line at the end was cut off:

    "Thank you, thank you, I'm here all night."
