Raiders of the Lost Ark, re-released with over 70 minutes of music is finally here! John Williams has definitely outdone himself with this one, with one of the most popular movie themes ever written, "The Raiders March". That is only one of the themes that occurs throughout. There is one for Marion, which is played on soft woodwinds and a booming three note brass theme for the Ark, and a trumpet theme for the Nazis. "South America: 1936" starts off eerie and then explodes into knockout action music. Another great action cue is present in "The Basket Game" which consists of jumpy woodwinds, screaming brasses, and thunderous percussion. "The Map Room: Dawn" lays out the Ark theme the most. The two best action music tracks are definitely found in "Airplane Fight" and "Desert Chase" which utilize all 4 themes in full force with the orchestra reaching its full potential. The best track is the last one, "End Credits" which contains "The Raiders March" and "Marion's Theme" combined into a concert suite. An overall outstanding score with a flawless performance by The London Symphony Orchestra, with John Williams at the helm.
