Greetings All!
Sorry for not posting this under the soundtracks section, but I wanted to introduce myself. This is my first post to these boards, although I have benefitted from all of your discussions, recommendations and Stoo's youtube channel for a while now. (Nice one, Stoo! Always wanted to tell you that.)
Anyway-
InexorableTrash- I had a look at your great music site. To it, you can also add the sound clips that Frédéric Talgorn put on his site for "Trenches of Hell". He has about three files here from the Somme episode:

My favorite musical sequence in the entire series happens to be the part right at the end of the episode where Indy, saved by the train, is making his escape into the German countryside on his bike. So great and uplifting... I would REALLY love to find a decent recording of that piece not marred by the train noise. That's my hope anyway!
Regarding Talgorn's compositions for the Somme and Germany episodes, I found this on his bio page:
All the best to you folks and I look forward to actively joining the discussions!!

Regarding Talgorn's compositions for the Somme and Germany episodes, I found this on his bio page:
A little later [Talgorn] is signed to compose the music of two episodes from the INDIANA JONES CHRONICLES. Nearly 50 minutes of music must be written in 12 days. The two episodes, SOMME and ALLEMAGNE-1917 are recorded in Munich. He also composes the music of a third episode, PARIS 1908, which is not used:
"Joel McNeely was originally committed to do it. He made the spotting session with George Lucas. At one point, Laurence Rosenthal and Joel McNeely realized that they would not have enough time to make all the episodes and they asked me to finish the three episodes, including PARIS 1908. They did not want to do a new spotting session with me for PARIS 1908. The spotting was done and I wrote the music from the notes of Joel McNeely, which is a thing that I will never do again, because they is very dangerous. The proof is that the result was not what they wanted." (7)
All the best to you folks and I look forward to actively joining the discussions!!
