In addition to the earlier TNG collection, La La Land have also previously produced soundtrack collections from DS9 and Enterprise. It has been suggested previously that they still have plans for a Voyager collection, as well as a second volume of music from Enterprise.
Meanwhile, Mondo are also at work on at least one Star Trek soundtrack release: Teased on Twitter is what appears to be a new vinyl edition of the The Wrath of Khan soundtrack, to be released on a luscious Mutara Nebula inspired disc! No other information on this one yet, but I'm sure we can look forward to some nice cover art to accompany it, as is typical of Mondo's impressive releases.

Did the big anti-original music thing hit Trek during TNG's run, or after? I remember by DS9 and VOY (and ENT) they just re-used the same generic music for every episode.
The 'wallpaper' music lasted about three years, in my opinion, with TNG's last three seasons (5-7) overlapped with DS9's first two.
By Season Three of DS9, they went from two composers (McCarthy and Chattaway) to four (adding Bell and Baillargeon), so the compositions took on much more varied tones from week to week. There's a lot of memorable music from that period! (The Visitor, Dominion War episodes, and various 'comedy' episodes like Our Man Bashir, Badda-bing, Badda-bang, etc.)
Voyager's scores got better later in the game, as well, which is why I REALLY wish this was a Voyager release! The music to Scorpion, Year of Hell, Timeless, Dark Frontier, Blink of an Eye ... so much goodness. Really want that! They've released a set for all the other series ... not sure we needed more TNG over Voyager.
As for Enterprise, I think it had dynamic music from the get-go. They were on a five-composer rotation (with Velton Ray Bunch added in), and the scores felt more punch-y and noticeable. The Enterprise soundtrack collection is great, and they left out some good material (no Azati Prime or The Forgotten or The Forge, I don't think).
I'll be passing on this release, but I hope we see more in the future.
