"I've been a fan of John Williams since I was a kid, and have had the soundtrack to The Last Crusade -- some of his best work -- almost as long. The soundtracks to Raiders and (in particular) Temple of Doom are much harder to find, however, so I was very excited to see so much from Temple of Doom on this CD.



The musical quality on these recordings is great, and it's really a treat to hear the classic Indy scores with subtly different instrumentation. If you haven't listened to the original recordings a thousand times you probably wouldn't notice the differences, but they are there. While the original recordings will always be my preferred versions, these re-recordings are truly excellent and help to bring the music alive in a new way, so long after the original recordings were made.



If you're looking for a high quality recording of mix of tracks from the first three Indy movies, this is an excellent buy. Similarly, if you are a longtime fan of the Indy series scores, you'll enjoy the subtle variety in this work."

Very good collection of the movies music

"The city of Prague has done a fantastic job of recording the most popular tracks from all three movies.The sound is very clear and the music is excellently reproduced.Track five,the airplane fight is just wonderful and very exciting.You know I recently bought the sound track to raiders of the lost ark.I have to say that the city of Prague version is alot more clearer and crisp!The bass and treble are (I dare say)of superior quality to the aforementioned track.My favorite is track seven,which is the end to the first indy movie.They pull out all the stops on this one and it really sounds great!track eight is very flirty and fun also,funny enough it is titled anything goes!They also added this one in english.The Chinese version is different and interesting to listen to.Trek of the ark was kind'a short but it did it's job.The chorus and sybols add a touch eerieness or majesty to it.This'll depend on how you look at it.Indy's first adventure and escape from Venice are faithful to the movie's sound track.Overall,this cd was well put together and very affordable,get it,you'll be glad you did.You'll probably listen to it wearing your Indy hat!"
