I hope it at least means they are trying to avoid tracking any cues.

The recording of the score wrapped up in early March out in LA. Is there going to be another brief recording session?

I see the soundtrack release date is set for May 20.

From John Takis of JWFan.com:

"In a nutshell, he said they just finished editing the recorded tracks to picture yesterday, and they're going to give it one more pass for minor tweaking and polishing before they send it out on Tuesday. AFAIK, this is a phase of production that Williams *usually* isn't that involved in -- but it's easy to see where that could be different on a Spielberg/Lucas project."

In case anyone has yet to pre-order, Amazon.com has the soundtrack up for $9.99!

First review of KOTCS. No sound clips from the actual score, but some members of JWFan have made short midi clips of Irina's theme and the Call of the Crystal.

Sounds very promising.


Also, is it just me or does it sound like a new recording of the Raiders March in the new TV Spot?

Great stuff. And yeah, seemed like a more orchestral, "epic" version of the beloved March. Still sounds amazing.

New, probably real, track times:

01. Raiders March (5:06)
02. Call of the Crystal (3:49)
03. The Adventures of Mutt (3:12)
04. Irina's Theme (2:26)
05. The Snake Pit (3:15)
06. The Spell of the Skull (4:24)
07. The Journey to Akator (3:07)
08. A Whirl Through Academe (3:34)
09. "Return" (3:12)
10. The Jungle Chase (4:23)
11. Orellana's Cradle (4:22)
12. Grave Robbers (2:29)
13. Hidden Treasure and the City of Gold (5:14)
14. Secret Doors and Scorpions (2:17)
15. Oxley's Dilemma (4:46)
16. Ants! (4:14)
17. Temple Ruins and the Secret Revealed (5:51)
18. The Departure (2:27)

Total Time: 77:28

I was hoping Jungle Chase would be a little longer, but I imagine it doesn't include the entirety of the music for that sequence.

That's one of the longest running times ever for a Williams album. Excellent. It looks like the Raiders March is going to be the same old concert suite, though.

This sounds like it could be a partial return to his 80s style! drooling

I must be confused. For some reason I thought the concert suite was the 2:53 track that opens up the album to Raiders of the Lost Arc. This new track is over 5 minutes. Is the concert suite actually Raiders March > Marion's Theme > Raiders March?

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I was talking about "End Credits" on the Raiders album, the version of the Raiders March (plus Marion's theme) almost always performed and recorded. "The Raiders March" itself contains an interesting and seldom heard coda, probably intended by Williams as a segue into the low-key "Main Titles: South America, 1936."

Additional Clarification: "The Raiders March" on the original album is an edited reduction of "End Credits." It is the exact same recording. The coda music at the end is a separate, added recording.

I really like the reorchestration on Marion's theme in the End Titles clip. Sounds really nice. grin

These sound extremely promising to my ears. Definitely sounds like Indy which is all I needed to know.

I haven't had a chance to listen to any of it.

So is this track # 1 "Raiders March" a new recording of the same ("End Credits") arrangement?
