Not Elfman, but who can turn down John Williams?
A lot of what I hear sounds like old-style williams. Just hearing one of the the militaristic Raiders motifs return (in ‘Spell of the Skull”) is really cool. That motif was injected into the “Sun Room” track, originally, in Raiders but then sequed into the full Ark theme. The clip they have here though seques directly into the much quieter Skull theme (which reminds me of the Green Goblin theme for some weird reason). When he gets really atonal as well, like in “Secret Doors in Scorpions,” the man’s signature is obvious. This is the same guy behind ET and Jurassic Park.
Apparently, since the Marion character returns too, the Love Theme returns as well (in “Finale”) and even expands. The idea in Raiders was that the relationship wasn’t really fleshed out. Here I guess it is.
So, in terms of dramatic pacing, connecting the first and (supposedly) last of the series is a great idea.
Blah! I’m going cold turkey until I see Indy 4 in theaters! I hope the samples are as good as this:
