Differences Between the Original and the Sequel Scores

Composed by John Williams, this score takes the Jurassic Park soundscape into a completely new, dark, and gritty direction.

Unlike its predecessor, this score works less with thematic material and more with moods, sounds, synth, and percussion. Little ethnic percussion is used in Jurassic Park, but The Lost World: Jurassic Park utilizes ethnic sounds extensively.

In this score, the instrumentation is much different. Percussion and ethnic instruments rule the orchestra. Dark, deep bass sounds and synth wails also play a great part in the score.

Many dissonant and atonal moments accompany the darker scenes such as Compy's attacking.

Cue Breakdown (As heard in Film)

No complete score has been released and very little is known about what was written. What is known however is that there are at least 46 separate cues.

It is known that the main title has two versions, one with more orchestration than the album release--it can be heard in the end credits. There is also a concert version that differs from this version as well.
