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.

#2 - Palace Gardens (loader)
Author:	Anthony Lees
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.

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

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

timmya4000:
Brilliant!!! Did not recognise the 3rd tune sadly but I still loved this
Nebdar:
Oh it is too short… But nice
peteliuz:
This song is like from the fictional The Last ninja movie! 😊 Superb work!
redbow:
Dont ever get shy with this interpetation in your briefcase. Just dont sell out to some glaze-eyed Hollywood producer. This would make a typical Peter Jackson production perhaps?
ifadeo:
F… Brilliant! Another outstanding remix by mr. Schneider…
infamous:
House of flying daggers all over again… Well produced well made… Well done
cirdan:
I am highly impressed by this remix. Simply amazing arrangement! Great great work, Markus 😃
zuckerfrei:
LOL… Winnetou meets Hans Zimmer…! Thanks anyway… XD
westerling:
Wow!!!
njoy:
Incredible work, Markus… Last Ninja meets Hollywood! Somber and moving in the first part (a la Newton Howard), turns into an epic anthem the Last Ninja theme in the finale. Ultra-recommended!
monty:
Voting it lower than outstanding wouldn't do it justice, but: The modified melody in the first part (my favourite Last Ninja-tune) irritates my ears a lot *complain*
humorguy:
Majestic. Or How To Fly Without Leaving Your Chair. Totally agree with the sentiment that this guy should be writing film scores.
Dan:
Tho I hate to say it, its a standard Schnieder affair but oh what a standard he has, a gorgeously put together medly
Makke:
Mmm… Schneiderized!
Skitz:
Markus has to score a film or there is no justice in this world! This is an amazing take on the Last Ninja end credit tune! I wonder what Ben thinks of this!
DHS:
It's definitely boring how Markus can be over all of us 😊
Waz:
Now this is a bit nice. Just oozes quality and film score. Excellent job Markus!
kai:
Markus strikes again with a goosebump-inducing orchestral monster-wank of an all-time classic! Nothing left to say but WOAH! 😊 Thanks for that piece!
speedy:
Excellent!
morden:
Extremly Exelent Last Samurai Style
LMan:
Movie score alert!
jaytee:
Beautifully arranged. Great production. Maybe not to everybodys taste, where one could find it 'a little boring' I can listen to it over and over. Great job Markus!
aero:
This is simply awesome…
feekzoid:
Fantastic orchestral score rendering of some memorable themes. Superb.
mfe:
Sounding a little lacking in expression in places, but still nicely arranged.
crik:
Bloody great
hillsman:
Epic, orchestral stuff - could swear there's a bit of the Spiderman movie theme in there!!
eliot:
My headphone-cable is defect, so I can't write usefull stuff now… Voting is based on beta-version. Update: strings have a synthetic touch and still too long/repetitive, beside that, it's very good.
prowler:
Professional production. I would love it for a movie end credits, but not for 'active' listening.
romeo_knight:
Top notch movie score production. Indeed demands a moving picture otherwise it can get a little boring.
xerex:
Well done atmospheric orchestral arrangement
superturbo:
Sounds too much like film music to me with no real lead…
anaconda:
Synth orcestra is not my cup of tea. But this was very well done anyway.
weasel:
Very nice effort for sure!! The only thing which stays with most of those orchestral remixes is that I _alyways_ seem to hear that it's _not_ a real orchestra (of course) as it sounds kinda 'midi'-synthized in some parts more and in some parts less!🫤
tball:
Beginning is very nice, pompous, traditional Chinese, but then looses focus… Also has too much downtime…
omoroca:
Another failed attempt to simulate an orchestra with synth sounds. Good arrangement, but the sound is too artificial and MIDish and far from what a real orchestra can do. No Ninja spirit in it, sounds more like Winnetou!
humppapumppu:
Yet another boring orchestral remake. Just not my cup of tea.
load_error:
Your musical skills are wonderfull, no doubts, but this is a little bit too pompous and epic for my tastes… And that melody changed is an outrageous choice on such famous melody ☹️
