"Where is the REAL score?"...:
This is the real score, however, not the COMPLETE score. Much like the Last Crusade, this soundtrack highlights the film. Thus far, to my understanding, there has not been a commercial extended version released (only promotional copies). Most people look down on this score as they look down on the movie... that is no way to accurately rate this music. The score itself is equal to the other Indy scores.

Good music, Awful CD:

In "Temple of Doom," he introduces new themes that are just as wonderful as any other Indiana Jones themes. Included in these themes is a childish theme played on some kind of percussion for Short Round. It's comparable to the Ewok theme from "Return of the Jedi," but because it never makes an appearance for more than a few seconds, it won't easily get on your nerves. In... more info
