For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.God, I have that album! As for their tendency to use these samples, here's a quote from an interview with Kurt Valaquen, one of the band members:
FAVORITE RECORD
"An album that Leonard Nimoy did right after Star Trek finished on television. It's called Mr Spock's Music From Outer Space, and it's got songs with him singing and speaking as Mr. Spock! I've watched Star Trek all my life and I use it a lot in our music. I make cassette tapes off the shows on television then pick out little pieces of music or phrases to use as samples in the songs.
I'm not a hard-core Trekkie, though. I've met people who are in the offfical Star Trek club, and I do think their attitude is somehow very different from mine."
So there you have it, from the horse's mouth as it were!
