Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 It's obvious since the complete score has been released that it is in fact the best John Williams score. I think it’s a privilege to call yourself a Lost Worlder and it’s something you have to earn, because a Lost Worlder does. He or she has the ability to create new and better realities and improve conditions. Being a Lost Worlder, when you drive past an accident, it’s not like anyone else. When you drive past, you know you have to do something about it because you know you’re the only one that can really help. So you stop and give them a copy of The Lost World: Jurassic Park, composed and conducted by John Williams. As Williams scores go, it's better than everything.

John 2,032 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Even the thought of TLW being Johnny's best score is preposterous. Granted, it's a great, entertaining score, but he's done so much more notable and memorable works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,306 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 It was always a favourite of mine, but I used to think it meandered on the atonality and dissonance too much. After hearing the score in complete form though, it's revealed itself as a thoroughly balanced, multifaceted work that's cemented itself in my top 3. Masterful writing and unique in Johnny's oeuvre. There's simply nothing else like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,513 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Back in May,1997, it took me one listen to realise that TLW was a better composed, better played, and better engineered score than JP, and my opinion has, to this day, not altered. Best JW score ever, though? Poo doo. Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,492 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Not sure I'm a member of the "Church of LOST WORLD", but it's a damn fine score. Took me some time adjusting to, though. I wasn't that impressed when I first heard it in 97; I had expected more JURASSIC PARK, and less Stravinsky. But now, I really enjoy its darkness and rawness.

Popular Post Nick1Ø66 4,710 Posted May 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2017 If I'm a member of the Church of the Lost world and I die, are there virgins, or just dinosaurs? Is there wonder and awe in Lost World heaven, or just running and screaming? How hard is it for the angels in Lost World heaven to play "The Compys Dine" on the harp? And is everything in Lost World heaven run by CD-ROM? Are donations to TCOTLW tax-deductible? Does JPIII run on an endless loop in Lost World heaven? (oh wait...that's Lost World hell).

Spectacular score absolutely brimming with energy, very Temple of Doom-esque in places.

Bespin 8,480 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I always loved Jurassic Park OST album. When the Lost World came out, I bought the CD instantly. But the fact is, I never listened to it more than two times in twenty years!!! It appeared to me... well... too tribal... too violent... I never liked it!!! I don't have word to describe it (and I know my english is very limited!)... but an album... if I like it or not.. it's all about "energy". I think every album, every compilation have an "energy". I like it or not. Sometimes it's about the content, sometimes it's about the sound quality... The ratio between the loud parts, the quiet parts... the transitions between them... It's always black or white for me, there is no gray. Now, let's talk about the LLL expanded set.... I finally discovered TLW score with it... And wow!!! I loved it from the first listen!!!! Both JP and TLW. I'm able to listen both of them from the beginning to the end, and I enjoy all of it. The energy is good with this LLL set, what can I say!

But it doesn't feel quite as satisfying just skipping to that track, I have to play the whole score and experience the build-up to it. xS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
