Those following Alex Berkley lately on Facebook will already be aware of the fact that he has been teasing the release of an EP based on some of the older Star Trek films for some time now. This morning, the local classical guitar player and singer/songwriter made good on that promise, releasing The Star Trek Movies EP. This collection of 3 songs each touch on a certain classic film of the series, in addition to the bonus track, "The Trouble with Tribbles," an ode to the lovable furry creatures from the Star Trek universe. For those unfamiliar, these things.
If you have not heard Berkley's stuff before, think a stripped down version of the Weakerthans and you have a good starting point. Frequent Berkley contributor and former Bear Exchange member Colin Griffin sits in on trumpet as well. Be sure to check out the touching, lead off track, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn," which contains a great, subtle use of harmonica, and download the entire EP for free at Berkley's bandcamp page.
