Oh you've done it now Ian XD I love coming up with ideas for things like this, and I know my brother (Jewell's husband) will probably have a long list of suggestions too. Jewell, you'll have to let him know about this and ask him to come up with some songs that would fit^^

Personally I must confess I preferred the older trek series' habit of making up custom music for the theme tune - I didn't really like Enterprise's using a song with words and all. But if we had to pick a song in such a manner, my vote would go to the full length into of 'Order of the Universe' by Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe. May be a little 80s for some tastes, but I think it'd still work great as a sci-fi theme^^

Alternatively, perhaps something by Vangelis or Tangerine Dream. Vangelis' track 'Light and Shadow' for example...it's choral tones would fit very well with the mythical name of the ship Athena, although it's feel and atmosphere may be a little dark and intense for a Trek universe.

I also asked my parents if they had any suggestions for this, and my mum came up with 'Nova Lepidoptera' by Barclay James Harvest, a curious idea but it could perhaps work. Also my dad suggested something from the Moody Blues album The Present, maybe the track 'Hole in the World' or 'The Blue World'.

And finally, as we were scouring our memories, album collections and other sources for possible tunes, we quite by accident came across some fantastic music on a little video on Youtube. The vid has nothing to do with space or star trek, but the tune behind it would make a spectacular theme for something, and again it's mythical quality would suit the Athena name perfectly. If anybody knows what this music is or where it comes from please inform me, I'd be interested to know! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmjbK7hBAcI

More if we think of them ;)
