Editorial Review:

:
A collection of curiously compelling recordings brought together for the first time, summarising the talents of two artists who hold cult status in the worlds of both television and music. Spock sings, Kirk raps. Surreal soliloquies, mad monologues, peculiar parlance are all here. William Shatner (Captain Kirk) performs a bewildering collision of Bob Dylan, Shakespeare and The Beatles, narrated over a strangely disconnected free for all culled from his 1968 album The Transformed Man. Discover his staggering interpretations of "Mr Tambourine Man" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds". Leonard Nimoy (Spock) performs an astounding collection of lounge croons--"Where Is The Love?", "Everybody's Talkin"--and Spock standards--"Highly Illogical", "Music To Watch Space Girls By". An essential purchase for both Trekkies and connoisseurs of musical exotica. --F.B.Hawkes




Rating: - And now for something completely different!
Thrill to the sound of Leonard Nimoy croaking `Bilbo Baggins', William Shatner murdering `Lucy in the sky with Diamonds'. An hour of serious humour, intentional and unintentional and excellent music production values shattered by the scenery wobbling just like `Star Trek'. Buy this hits compilation with impunity it is actually so kitsch that it's great.

Rating: - Priceless album may leave you speechless
I'd only ever heard a couple of the Nimoy offerings before and LSD by the Shatt, and so I thought I knew what I was letting myself in for, but I didn't really. The breadth of material covered by both was a complete surprise, the depth of the hole both men seemed to be digging for themselves with such vigour was none short of astonishing. It was akin I'd say to watching an unlicenced driver getting into a fast car and pointing it straight at a brick wall, without a seatbelt on. Brave though, as you'd ... Read More

Rating: - Words fail me
Words fail me. Listen to William Shatner decaliming Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and marvel if you are on a bad acid trip yourself. Shatner is...well...let's say special. Nimoy on the other hand actually sings reasonably well, sometimes using his Spock alter ego. Truly a life changing experience.

Rating: - All aboard the starship
This album has blown me and my mate Ryan McDonald out of the water. This is a great album to play when you are getting ready to go out to chess club. Ryan my friend and me like to listen to this when we go train spotting together and also when we are studying chess masters. Ryan played this at his cousins party and the girls loved us and thought how cool we were. I have this on my walkman and I love to listen when I go into the forest to do some bird watching. Get this album

Rating: - It's music Jim, but not as we know it!
This is an epic artifact of ego over talent. I shall be seeking out a copy of the Transformed Man as soon as I finish this review. To be fair to both parties Shatner knew he could not sing a note, so he avoided any trace of melody whatsoever, and Nimoy has at times, he could sing, done a creditable job on a number of songs.

Highlights for me are the Shatner tracks "King Henry the Fifth", "It was a very good Year", the most amazing(I use the term without any exaggeration at all) version of ... Read More
