This soundtrack has notable tracks and some that are performed in concerts with JW at the podium himself or conductors of local symphonies. The "Raiders March" is classic although typically composed slightly different. I like this heavier bass strings in this version. "The Adventures of Mutt" is a track often performed in concerts. The "Journey to Akatar" is another great track. The Crystal Skull theme is interesting and or course the "Finale" encompassing all themes with a slightly different and favorite ending. John always comes up with a different composition for his classic themes that keep them fresh yet familiar. Like all John Williams tracks, this is another great addition in the collection.
The Indiana Jones theme is what everyone remembers. I would rank it as one of the best motion picture themes. The rest of the soundtrack is very good. There is nostalgia woven throughout this soundtrack. Marion's theme is back and is found in several of the tracks, whether it be a a few seconds or not. Some of the Last Crusade music makes a return as well, at very appropriate times in the movie. I think it's an indication of how well the composition is by how well you are moved by the music and this made me recall all of the fond memories of Indiana Jones moments. There are some rather different themes at play but very much in tune with the theme of the film.
Until the other 3 soundtracks get re-released, this is your best chance to have the Indy theme.
I would say that this William's effort is less spirited and energetic than, lets say Temple of Doom. Although it is pretty good in some parts, overall its somewhat disappointing. I would give this score a 7 out of 10. If there will be ever a complete score release than it will be an solid 8 or 8.5. Sadly many nice cues (silo 51, complete Jungle chase and many more) are not here on this cd. Still, its a nice score (especially tracks like "the Departure"), but it isn't a "goosebump" score.
Hopefully George Lucas will release the complete scores for Temple of Doom and the Last Crusade. Especially Temple of Doom is one heck of a ride!

Not a bad effort.
Und eben mit diesem Musikstück eröffnet auch der Soundtrack zum vierten Indy"-Film. Aber so wie hier hat man ihn defintiv noch nie gehört, denn so wie Williams den March hier instrumentiert, ist er zugleich ein Streifzug durch einige Momente von Indiana Jones I - III". Jeder, der die Filme recht gut kennt, wird beim Hören des ersten Tracks direkt Momente der ersten Filme vorm inneren Auge sehen - zumindest ging es mir so.
Danach knüpft Williams, als hätte es die fast 20 Jahre Pause von Teil 3 bis Teil 4 nie gegeben nahtlos an seine ersten Scores an, man hört geheimnisvoll angehauchte Tracks wie Call of the Crystal" und eben auch verspieltere Musik, wie man es von Indy aus den anderen Filmen von kleineren Verfolgungsjagden kennt.. Und immer wieder klingen bekannte Töne auf, wie das Theme der Bundeslade in The Spell of the Skull".
Was sich zu den früheren Scores aber auch mal wohltuend unterscheided ist, dass Williams folkloristische, für die Schauplätze typische Instrumente einsetzt, wie in The Jouney to Akator" wo man die typischen südamerikanischen Flöten hört.
Und der Gesamtscore stimmt bis zum letzten Track. Am Film mag man rumkritisieren, was man will, ob der Ufoauflösung, aber Williams Musik ist PERFEKT.
Den besten Soundtrack der Saga hat für mich zwar in jedem Fall Indiana Jones und der Tempel des Todes", aber der Soundtrack zu Indy 4" ist mindestens so gut, wie der zu Teil 1 und besser als der zu Teil 3. UND er ist komplett. Wenn ich sage komplett, habe ich den Song von Elvis zu Beginn nicht vergessen, aber der gehört einfach nicht zur Musik von Williams.
An der vollständigen Art des Scores, sieht man auch , welchen Stellenwert Filmmusik heute hat, bedenkt man dass es Jahre dauerte, bis die Scores von den ersten Indy"-Filmen komplett auf CD erschienen.
