About the album

Williams composed and conducted the score for the 2008 film, recording it with the Hollywood Studio Symphony, orchestrations by Conrad Pope and Eddie Karam and Shawn Murphy at the desk. As with most of his soundtrack albums, the running order isn't the film's: four concert pieces come first, the Raiders March, 'Call of the Crystal,' 'The Adventures of Mutt' and 'Irina's Theme,' before the action takes over.

From there it's jungle chases and ancient traps, through 'The Jungle Chase,' 'Secret Doors and Scorpions,' 'Ants!' and 'Temple Ruins and the Secret Revealed,' before 'The Departure' and the 'Finale.' If you'd like to hear it in film order, it starts 6, 8, 7, 12, 14; we'll leave the rest as an exercise for the keen.
