Hmmm, I'm literally hearing about this TV show for the first time! Weird. Not sure yet whether I'm going to buy this, but I'm intrigued! Do I hear a faint hint of "Forward to Time Past" here?

Happy birthday, John Williams!

This reminds me, somebody recently sent me the Harry Potter boxset. I found it on my neighbour's doorstep.

Rewatching TLW now... Always loved that moment at 3:22! JW absolutely going crazy with the percussions!

That's hardly on the same level as JP and HP! Besides, I didn't get that. I considered including the Concord Indy boxset, though, but I have a feeling, that's not the ultimate set.

At the moment, Jurassic Park is winning 26:24! Seems like I'm not in the minority report, after all!

Good memories! They're totally different, but I don't say that one is so much better than the other... I still think that "Journey to the Island" from Jurassic Park, for example, is one of the most perfect, exhilarating, and powerful cues of John Williams' entire career! Beats anything from TLW and anything from HP!

In my early twenties, when I got serious about collecting, I had to rebuy most of the John Williams CDs. As a child, I didn't know how to take care of things... Yeah... I still love listening to the HP set pieces like Harry's Wondrous World, Hedwig's Theme, The Chamber of Secrets, and Mischief Managed, but overall, the JP scores are more listenable from start to finish, I feel like. Meaning the younger generation prefer HP, the more older folks JP? Yeah, probably.

Listening to this now and getting goosebumps...

Yes, exactly! Took the words right out of my mouth. When I saw Jurassic Park in the theater, I was twelve. That movie pretty much defined my teenage years, and those years are probably the most impressionable years for most people....

Just because you prefer one thing doesn't mean you have to absolutely hate the other! Like I said, I love them both, I just prefer listening to the music on the Jurassic Park Collection slightly more for the reasons stated.

Yeah, I know one set contains 2 movies, the other 3, etc. etc. But I'm not talking about the superficial stuff, but really the music itself, the whole scores from start to finish. John Williams's creativity and originality, his musical storytelling ability, the creation of pure art. Which set did you or do you still enjoy more? I may be in the minority here but I've found that for me, it's Jurassic Park. Especially The Lost World contains so much great, previously unreleased, shockingly effective stuff, it beats even Azkaban - at least for me. I feel like I can really dive into th

Disney is so humongous now, maybe they'll buy up Intrada, just so it can handle all of its soundtracks in the future... Weirder things have happened!

JFK Born on the Fourth of July Nixon The Patriot Sabrina Seriously, unless it's Star Wars prequels, I'm not all that excited anymore...
