I was in a mildly Star Trekky mood this morning, so I dug up my soundtrack to the original movie and listened to that on the long, arduous drive to work. A couple of thoughts:

1. In the main “hero” melody, the trumpets play a lot of slurs, whereas the TV version is clearly articulated. Interesting difference.

2. The Blaster Beam they used to denote the presence of V’Ger still sounds fucking amazing 45 years later.
