I always take great pleasure in listening to movie soundtracks. John Williams is on my top five list of music composed and conducted for film.

Lucus Film recently re-released all the original movie soundtracks to the Indian Jones franchise: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  

All three feature Oscar-winning composer John Williams’ soundtracks digitally remastered from the original tapes, plus unreleased music from each respective film. Previously available only as part of last year’s highly successful box set release Indiana Jones: The Soundtracks Collection, these reissued CD’s will be available individually for the first time. The chance to finally hear that minute of Indy toppling the Anubis statue in ‘Raiders’ is what music soundtracks are all about, seeing the movie in your mind with music.

 Now with just about every bit of Indiana Jones music on deck here, listing to some of John Williams’ greatest achievements for the popcorn cinema has never sounded more fun, or fresh. I’ve been having a blast listening and connecting the scenes with his music.  This set is worth a place in your library and iPod.

I encourage any Indian Jones fan or John William’s music lover to get the series – listening to the music is like seeing the movies all over again with the mind’s eye.
