Songs that feel like Jurassic Park (1993)
Wide-eyed wonder curdles into primal dread as human hubris meets nature that refuses to be controlled, with thrilling spectacle and a childlike sense of awe throughout.
- Hoppípolla by Sigur Rós: Swelling strings and childlike wonder match the first sight of the brachiosaurs.
- Africa by Toto: Lush, sweeping, exotic adventure with a sense of wide-open wilderness and wonder.
- Time by Hans Zimmer: Huge, building cinematic emotion about wonder and what we leave behind.
- Welcome To The Jungle by Guns N' Roses: Swaggering early-era danger that suits a jungle where the fences stop working.
- Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who: Pulsing synths and a roaring climax about the arrogance of those in control.
- Heroes by Peter Gabriel: Shadowy, tribal-tinged tension, like Gabriel's Passion-era soundscapes of ancient worlds.
- Music For A Found Harmonium by Penguin Cafe Orchestra: Whimsical, curious and gentle, echoing the early wide-eyed discovery.
- Born Slippy (Nuxx) by Underworld: Relentless, pulsing momentum that mirrors the frantic chase through the park.
