The Lost World: Jurassic Park - 08/10 - Review of Jason FLZ, submitted at
As video games became more elaborate in the 90's alot of things changed, including their music. Video game soundtracks went from sound effects and 8-bit tracks to actual orchestral music. One of the composers to indulge in this was the then unknown Michael Giacchino, providing his first ever game score. The game was The Lost World: Jurassic Park; released for the Playstation. Since it's release the game and the score itself have both become classics.

First-off, Giacchino abandons any of John William's themes for the franchise. While in most cases this would be a negative, here it allows him to throw out his own original and fun themes for the game. The opening 'Into the Trees' alone is an adventerous piece worthy of Tomb Raider. Alot of the music flows very well throughout the score, making use of brassy instruments and fanfare like music. While there are numerous themes abound in the score, the most recognizable has to be the trilling motif for the Compsognathus, heard numerously. Various other themes crop up briefly but never really get expanded on. Throughout the score, Giacchino also changes the styles to fit the level.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park is a fun score to listen to. Giacchino keeps cropping up various motifs every other track, keeping the listening experience fresh and original throughout. Unfortunately, he rarely expands on any of the thematic material he uses. Otherwise, definitely a score to check out if you enjoy Giacchino's lighter works. While not as good as his scores for the later Medal of Honor games, still a fun little listen.
