This is such a cool record. Traditional orchestra with some electronic instruments dropped in, mixing up classic Hollywood underscore with "modern" classical ideas as well as various jazz idioms.

The "Opening Credits" start out with some strings and a repeating 11-note figure and then about halfway through drop a slinky groove with hand percussion and an adventure-promising string melody.

A short. sharp piano figure kicks off "Amazons in New York" and then strings take over, joined by flute, playing some long and legato passages. At the end the strings get choppy and fast, joined by marimba and electronic instruments.

A similar string feel from the first half of "Amazons in New York" continues in the beginning of "The Poison and Chasing the Killer", which shifts to a heavier, seesawing section with lots of timpani in the second half.

Piano in a gentle waltz feel opens "Heading to South America/Hotel Muzak", soon joined by electric bass guitar and the strings. It's a lovely, lyrical cue with drum set and hand percussin making it swing. The muzak part is a really nice Fender Rhodes feature also with strings and also really beautiful. There's a cool sax solo at the end.

"Snake Attack and Hotel Escape" opens with an electronic sting, some kind of analog synth, and then keeps a pensive atmosphere with strings and percussion, the timpani being especially prominent.

The "Hotel Muzak" cue returns slightly faster in "Journey into the Jungle and the Village" but no sax solo this time, just reiterations of the theme by strings and flute.

Dramatic pounding action music announces "Village Fight: Back on the Road", which manages to blend off-kilter modern classical writing with some jazz grooves in a fragmented but coherent and exciting way.

Some lower tones from the wind instruments and dissonant piano clusters convey the menace of "Helicopter Attack", which also deploys the percussion in a big way and leans toward some of John Barry's action writing for the Bond movies at the end.

"Snake Bite and Noboros Death" starts out quietly, lots of space, just creating an atmosphere, and then segues into a swinging but also urgent-sounding cue before turning into more love-theme territory at the end with a flute melody.

A dramatic and suspenseful string melody with timpani support is played over another slinky groove for "Captured by the Amazons" while "Fight in the Water" picks up the tempo and intensity and brings back the electronic instrument that makes sporadic appearances. It might be a blaster beam.

Eerie tones mixing acoustic and electronic sources introduce "The Burning Village" before once again kicking into another multi-layered groove with lots of percussion and weird accents from the electronics.

This same mixture of the modern and the groovy, the acoustic and the electric, flows into "Jungle Run", which again features the Fender Rhodes, after which the music relaxes into a more level orchestral cue, though with some warped percussion contributions, in "Chasing the Bad Guy".

Electronics, strings, percussion and flute have a jagged and tense call and response session in "Blowdart Attack" after which we're rewarded with another cool groove tune, this time with overblown flute, in "Closing In".

Low reed tones then take us to "The Lost City of Gold", which also features the piano before the rest of the orchestra comes in for dramatic fanfares with the brass up front.

Strings fade in with subdued long tones for "The Amazons Arrive". After the piano joins them, the strings get more dissonant and percussion and electronics join the party but keep everything level and in suspense.

Snare drum gets a martial but light and sprightly beat going while strings and flutes and piccolos dance above it for "March of the Amazons" after which we get the bluesy and slow "Farewells" with piano and sax as the lead voices.

The "Closing Credits" bring back the spiky and uptempo action/adventure cues from previously in the film and add some lower-pitched, percussion-heavy figures in the second half.

Also included in this release is a bit of Haydn's "String Quartet No. 1 in E Major" plus a few very short "Bumpers".
