Thanks to the recent 'Top 10 Mark Isham' thread, I have a stack of CD's by him*, on my desk in work, that I am currently replaying again to see how I feel about them, since the last time I spun 'em.
I know he's a bit of an acquired taste around here, but I loved a lot of his stuff during the 80's and 90's.
I remembered liking this one, but had forgotten how great it really is.
40 minutes of exotic, mysterious and wondrous scoring, sprinkled with tropical splendour and some Ecuador rhythms.
I haven't seen the film, but listening to tracks like 'Underground Cathedral, Giant Tortoise, The Wonders That Lie Below (a true highlight) and Voyage Into The Unknown' really does conjure up exotic images of rare species and amazing nature sights.
While some of the other discs have been met with 'it's okay or meh', this is really good stuff that will be leaping onto my mp3 player asap.
Any other fans of this music out there?
*Fire In The Sky, Timecop, Crash, Miracle, Bobby, 8 Below.

I listen to Galapagos just about every week. It's part of several playlists I play in the background during the work day.

Shows you how different people can be. I went to youtube to sample this and after four cues, I gave up. To me it was unremarkable, rather uncreative in it's ethnic sound pallet and ideas, and rather immature in some of the writing.

Yes, examples please, of what you mean by "rather immature" writing. Of course, if he is using an ethnic sound "pallet," wouldn't that be pretty creative?
