Every time you refer to these people as New Power Generation, a little piece of Prince's soul dies.

@92BuickLeSabre: No kidding. My first thought at reading the headline was "Little Red Shuttle Craft"?

Keep in mind that their name is a play on words...

I'm sorry but I'd much rather listen to No Kill I.

@TheAlmanac: its not a play on words when its a blatant rip off of a previous bands name, regardless of what kind of backwards engineering you can use to say its valid.

I am not saying the the real NPG might not do some trekkie music, but the NPG these guys ain't.

*real prince fan speaking here*

My other post hasn't appeared yet, so I don't know if it will, but now I see that it is io9 calling them the New Power Generation, and not the band itself. Sorry for my uppityness!

this is what the Minibosses would probably sound like if they weren't any good.

Also, i'm going to have to agree with everyone above: the headline is epicly misleading.

I love Canada. That is all.

Enterprise wasn't Count Bakula's fault! ;_;

I came to this article hoping for some early 90's new jack swing urban Trek themeage. You let me down io9, you let me down.

@Darcy: exactly.

the horrendous theme song might have been a skosh better if he'd sung it. well, maybe not.

Hmmm, the bass opening to the Enterprise theme sounded an awful lot like the opening of Firebird by Stravinsky.

I am both scifi nerd and music nerd.

I must suck or be extremely gullible, cause i don't think they sounded that bad.

OK, next time show us a video of an Australian army marching band playing the original theme (a march) from Gerry Anderson's "Thunderbirds" puppet series, all through the half time during a big soccer match.

*cries* Why did they do this! Why?! ;_;

The first video freezes for me about 2 minutes in, and then unfreezes at some later point. The second video I couldn't see at all, even in internet explorer.

I have to say I sort of grew to like the first, more stripped down, version of "Faith of the Heart" on Enterprise (throw hatchets if you must, sadly, I'd even find myself humming it at work sometimes). What shocked me was to watch Patch Adams (sadly) for the first time a few months back and hear it as the song over the end credits and realize that it came out 3 years before Enterprise. But, I guess it shouldn't be surprising that that song originated with another Robin Williams emotional ham-fest.

That was simply awful.

Another person who at first thought this had something to Prince's band checking in!
