STIL comment	"I got the phone call from Mark [Cale] asking me to write some level tunes - I wrote the music, went down there [to System 3] to meet Archer Maclean (? I think it was Arch that put the driver in.....), got offered Mark Cale's slightly-dodgy-import-status left-hand-drive BMW, said "no thanks, I'll have the cash please" and that was that." (BD) Q: How was Anthony Lees to work with? A: "Only met the guy once - on that one day - he said 'hi' - I said 'hi' - that was about it." (BD) The titles of the individual tunes found below are based on as they appear in the game.

Comment:	"I did six tunes for LN, the first of which was the one involving the creepy jungle music (....which was and still is my favourite) - the inspiration is hard to nail down, but it was probably the film 'Apocalypse Now' - very dense, troubled and scary moods were evoked." (Anthony Lees)

Comment:	Although the tune is credited to Anthony Lees since 2001 in HVSC, the music player of this tune is by Ben Daglish. Ben doesn't remember making this tune and also he has no idea how the tune ended up being in his player if it was made by Anthony Lees. It could be that the music was credited to Anthony Lees because Anthony claimed to have made 6 tunes for the game while actually 5 are made in his player. Since Anthony passed away, we can't verify it anymore and it will be a mystery who of the two actually made the tune.
#11 - The Dungeons (loader)

Comment:	This is also the tune for "The Inner Sanctum".

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

prowler:
Great! One of the best Last Ninja remixes ever
condor:
I love the sounds in here!
omoroca:
Good one! One extra point for the song choice and the yellow-eyes feeling that the original SID also had.
LMan:
Hard experimental drum & bass tune.
foppy:
Great stuff! For me it does have the Last Ninja feeling, in its melodies and its coolness.
devilhood:
Nice little track, can't really 'feel' any resemblance to Last Ninja though
anaconda:
After listening to it for a while, I started to like it better and better. It's good to hear someone that dares to make something different. It's got speed, it's very good produced and it sounds very complete.
nettuno:
Not bad, can you make a short version of this?
Tas:
Not really sure what to make of this… It's just very different. Not enough of the original in there really.
Dan:
Hmmm… Interesting take on the source but doesnt seem to capture anything about it
westerling:
Original, but when does it begin??
Makke:
I like the style, but the mixing gets a bit messy… Especially around the four minute mark…
Waz:
Those odd synth drums in parts put the listener off and there isn't hardly anything of the original to get excited about. Not very good.
LaLa:
Technically, this sounds good, but this is just waaay too experimental for me.
eliot:
