10 Perfect Star Trek Gifts For The Trekkie In Your Life

Admiral Picard (retired) has a retro-future phonograph in the 24th century study of his Château, so the least you can do in the 21st century is turn off the .mp3, AAV, and WAV, and embrace the Vinyl revival. Joking aside, there's an ease to streaming that's also less likely to leave you out of pocket, but for the gift of music, nothing can beat the tangible beauty of the 12 inch.

You can now own volume one of the stunning soundtrack to Star Trek: Picard season three on somewhat aptly coloured 'Sky Blue' vinyl (Data would approve in any case). This is two discs, 21 tracks, and some simply gorgeous exterior and interior cover and sleeve design work. Composers Stephen Barton and Frederik Wiedmann had the herculean task of telling the story of the return of the main Next Generation cast in musical form, and they did so in style with a score that is as awe-inspiring and reflective as it is, at times, blood-pumpingly dramatic, interwoven with hints to the plot. Turn everything else off and let yourself be surrounded by the sound from Hello, Beautiful, through No Win Scenario, to the eminently familiar variations of The Stars – End Credits.

In a similar vein, you can buy the Star Trek: Lower Decks soundtrack volume one on vinyl, although for those in the UK, this is a limited edition US import. Finally, if someone you know can play the piano like Lieutenant commander Nella Daren, you could offer them the set of arrangements in Star Trek Piano: 25 Favorite Themes for Piano Solo.
