Today’s pick is inspired by Gabriel Lorca’s terse command to “Go,” any time he wanted to engage the spore or warp drive.

Unfortunately, for reasons that I cannot fathom, Jeff Russo’s excellent Spore Drive theme has never been released on any album. So I am left to embed a YouTube video instead.

I know I’ve complained about this before, but Russo was writing some really good thematic music back in the first couple of seasons of Star Trek: Discovery, and the fact that this theme isn’t on an album that contains several, shall I say forgettable cues just makes no sense to me at all.
