"This piece alone has been imitated numerous times by various composers, a testament to its influence in the scoring of suspense music."

Other than Nixon and Jurassic Park, I'm not sure if I've heard music similar to Williams' Conspirators. Does Williams ever expand on these ideas? I like the sneakiness of it all.

I do not recall that there were any other suspence cues where Williams would have used that particular style in recent or earlier years.

There is some similar suspence music in Ottman's Usual Suspects.

The suspense music of Munich is JFKish at times but not so much related directly to The Consprirators; more some of the other suspense music of JFK which stillhas that kind of underground, subversive feel to it.

I haven't listened to this in a while, but I think that the track "Mud Island Chase" on Dave Grusin's "The Firm" soundtrack, is similar in nature to "The Conspirators" track of JFK.

The Firm was released on June 30, 1993 and JFk was released on December 20, 1991, so it is possible that this cue was influenced by Williams. Of course, in 1993, Williams used a similar style for the cue in JP - "Dennis Steals The Embryo."

Watch Under Siege, Gary Chang should be sued by Williams' attorneys.

You can bet your life that 'The Conspirators' has been used in many temp tracks and that the composer was asked to write something similar. It's an amazing track. It works on almost everything.
