Film and TV composer and orchestrator Don Davis has taken on a daunting task: updating John Williams's iconic Jurassic Park themes and integrating them seamlessly into his own furiously modern take on scoring. The composer has followed director Joe Johnston's lead, matching the director's darker, more tension-wracked vision of the mega-successful dino series with an accomplished score that evokes both wonder and terror, often (as in "Raptor Room") in the space of a few jarring bars. Davis' accomplished use of orchestral colour and dynamics is a crucial element that seamlessly fuses actors and CGI-saurs, shading both with crucial emotional dimensions. And unlike all too many generic action scores, this one won't insult your intelligence as it builds to the modernist maelstrom of "Clash of Extinction" and heroic thematic resolve of "The Hat Returns"/"End Credits". Adding a welcome dose of humour, the album concludes with a typically jaunty turn by Davis patron Randy Newman on "Big Hat, No Cattle". --Jerry McCulley
