[SFAS01]. We’ve backed our reminiscence of the season with a few samples from the gorgeous Starfleet Academy Season One soundtrack. We hope this will help capitulate you to listening to the album yourself without us prattling across it. jaQ’s most highly recommended track is “Chancellor’s Address” which truly shone that one time the Athena was exiting warp and we watched the wings retract. Stunning ship, stunning music ….… stunning cancellation.
