Why the BBC hasn't revisited the immersive CGI/real environment arena to produce an up-to-date prehistory show for 15 years is completely beyond me. What extraordinary programming this series was. Thank you for your commitment in editing and publishing these tracks. I can relive my childhood! This and the Cymbospondylus track absolutely slap.

[@battlechampion47]

Indeed, they made an all time gem with all this, maybe the lack of ideas that could justify another program like this is the reason why we do not see more of it. A pleasure

[@jannisosterburg4740]

The build up of this track! We have arrived Jaws-level horror music (well, that makes sense). And similar to Time Of The Titans, here the payoff of the build up works incredibly great and is itself an even bigger build up to an even bigger payoff. How many layers could one possibly add to a music piece? This is amazing.

[@Sharkman4569]

This is the best theme out of the whole Walking with series because it builds up the suspense and has the right theme for the biggest carnivorous fish that ever lived which the Meg got wrong

[@Eeppy_Hellraptor485]

They really put everything they had into this one piece, making it sound as foreboding and terrifying as possible, the deep and calm notes of the strings up until you hear the windchimes and that flute kicks in, and the drums start up, It's when you see the fin of the mega for the first time and it's so foreboding.. and then it's calm again till she actually shows up.. and Everything kicks in all at once, drums, Strings and the winds.. The flute is used perfectly to enhance that sence of danger.. The extra trumpet sting at 1:50 is just absolutely wonderful and it gives me the shivers every time.. and then you get to the actual like, main part of the song and its just note after note of this horrifying theme that wouldn't be out of place in a modern day shark documentary.. Its absolutely amazing and then the woodwinds coming in at 2:43 make it even better and the Violin and everything else brining the song to its climax before it gives way to this dark and almost melancholy finish, With a bell tolling in the background with the woodwinds, finishing it off with one final bell toll..

[@battlechampion47]

[@ribeiljeanstanislas5212]

I ve remembered watching that while I was child. Nigel Marvel is a great actor. Prehistoric Park was fun too. I found again this OST recently and oddly, I can't spend a day without listenning this track, I swear. This is so hypnotizing, it takes you in the guts. Amazing. The Megalodon is (without any doute) the scariest shit that seas had never seen. The Great White is enought frightenning like that. So imagine it but bigger four times ! It's Jaws but IRL. Just incredible.

[@palinurustherock8778]

The theme song for "Jaws 2: A Bigger Shark This Time!"

You are not wrong. Bartlett really took notes from John Williams to express the instinctive terror that lies under the sea.

[@andreasprivacy6754]

Between 4:40 and 4:45 you can heat two bell dings. I wonder if that is a refrence to the bells you always find on larger boats and ships. Because in the mini series they conduct their research on a sailboat?

It’s interesting how Bartlett built upon the Jaws theme. He’s essentially arranged a remix, building upon that basic two-note melody, making it far more grand and imposing. In a way, it matches the sheer scale and terror of O. megalodon

The default theme for the Megalodon.

[@dapperraptor8789]

The best part of this soundtrack is that it sounds like the end tune that plays at the end of the episodes. The build up for the megalodon is almost like the documentary is telling us this is the end Nigel. Which is the cliffhanger of this episode. The megalodon is given such weight and respect.

[@battlechampion47]

That's because the final soundtracks of each episode are an altered version of the meg theme. Additionally it's the longest of all themes in the entire documentary

[@Gojira-REsoundz530]

You know I have to say. I know Chased by Sea Monsters came out after Walking with Beasts, but I do wish they had introduced Megalodon into the WWB series. I know WWB is about prehistoric mammals, and Megalodon isn't a mammal, I know that too. But I thought it was kind of odd how they when from the Oligocene 25 MYA and then pretty much skipped 20+ million years into the Pliocene. Make no mistake, I love Walking with Beasts. I think it's a great documentary series made by BBC. But I sometimes wish they introduced Megalodon into that series.

[@battlechampion47]

Exactly my thoughts, I get they wanted to depict the evolution of whales, but instead of making the Basilosaurus episode (which is my favourite of all WWB) I would I went with an episode depicting the transition to filter feeding, and inevitably showcasing the wanted Otodontid as they where very much present during this transition.
