Bellosh 3,419 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Obviously I've listened to this score so many times over the years, but recently I'm just absolutely obsessed with it. Can't stop listening to it. It's perfect in every way. Anyone else just all of a sudden become obsessed with a John Williams album you've listened to for so long. "It was his obsession, really."

Popular Post Jay 37,364 Posted May 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2019 Not really with an album I already but, but sometimes when an expansion comes out I just can't stop listening to it over and over again for a long time. This happened in a big way when The Lost World expansion came out, I listened to it seemingly daily for months.

Sure. This goes hand in hand with taking a break from music. You rediscover it afterward and maybe even enjoy it more. Raiders is one of those ultimate perfect scores. I haven't listened to it in a very long time but I can hear every note in my mind. Bellosh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,504 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 It's good to have rediscoveries like that. I haven't listened to RAIDERS in several years, but I'm expecting a good time when I do. Once and Bellosh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,076 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 In my opinion, the OST of Raiders is a more coherent listening experience than the expanded presentations. Of course, the expansions do have good tracks that aren't found on the OST, so it's worth having both. Bellosh and rough cut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,504 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The DCC was the first edition of this score that I got, and I think it holds up very well in expanded format (for once!). But I've since sampled the OST, which is also a good one. I'd say they are more or less equal in terms of listening experience, which is rather rare. I have not heard, and have no interest in, the more recent Indy soundtrack box version. Bellosh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,076 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The DCC Raiders is the only Indy expansion to date I've bothered purchasing. It's indeed good, but it loses some of the flow compared to the OST. The latter has subpar sound though, especially in The Map Room.

Yes, despite being over 20 years old now the DCC Raiders (released by Silva in some countries) remains the best release of this score. It sounds very good. It flows very well in chronological order (partly because it's written for such a finely paced film) and contains pretty much everything you need. Great Nick Redman album.

Out of all the Indy scores, I'm just fine with the DCC Raiders, but honestly it's a real treat when 'Washington Men/Indy's Home' comes on. That cue of the Raiders March is just so heartwarming to me. So I prefer the Concord version. Cerebral Cortex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artguy360 1,843 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 This happened to me with the latest ET release and for a while with AI as well.

There I was talking about Desert Chase, but the Raiders March also works well in its short version. It just makes the piece more of a standard kind of march like the ones marching bands play.
