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.

Excellent, thaks. Just a bit too short.
zapp:
The video of this music is on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdGIaIimK-Y
LaLa:
I can just imagine sitting in an open-air theater in the middle of Japan watching a traditional Japanese ensemble playing this. Excellent idea, great arrangement. A bit lacking on the mixing, but who cares!
raj:
Very nice stuff
loz:
Standing ovation!
thepiano:
Just a delicious remixโ€ฆ
denise:
Powerful, delicate, professional and brillant arrangement
marko42:
Very good nostalgic
z80:
Could not be better!
selvatico:
One of the most pleasant ninja first remake for ideas and technique
humorguy:
Great production, sounds like it was recorded professionally live from a concert, like the way the BBC do it. Not remix sounding at all!
cloudskipa:
Excellent production! This is very good. Thanks
eliot:
Some lacks of mixing and instruments, but the idea gets +1 ๐Ÿ˜€ wish for an extended version without the clapping, coz it sounds so unreal ๐Ÿ˜€
condor:
Excellentโ€ฆ
monty:
I love it. Gets the max out of the original. Only complaint: it's too short!
bexs_79:
Really pleasant and yesโ€ฆ Too short
dokkie:
Brilliant!
NecroPolo:
Not perfect (fake crowd noises, sometimes cold MIDI orchestra instuments) but it does have an atmosphere. Completely brought back my evil black bad guys beating NINJA memories ๐Ÿ˜Š
tball:
Really well made atmosphere in this piece!
Makke:
Ah! Very creative!
load_error:
Sweet
icezolation:
Damn great instruments you put into that track. The orchestra feeling is amazing and the progressivity of the track couldn't be better.
moog:
WOW! Very promising idea, a bit Vangelish ๐Ÿ˜Š - just luv it
LMan:
Sweet stuff! 80s movie soundtrack sounding, too.
apollo2k:
Great track it sounds like a real orchestra. I like these great strings at the end.
Ryrynz:
Would be an orange if mixed better.
weasel:
Really nice idea with good realisation. Great orchestral instruments not sounding mid'ish in any ways. That's quite a big plus here! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I would have liked it a bit longer and with some more emphasize in the ongoing maybe.
gamleerik:
Not bad. I liked it. Though maybe a bit chinese themed for something japanese like ninjas is a bit unusual.๐Ÿ˜‰
Waz:
Again, a good effort but a cleaned up Fast Tracker II XM. Some of the instruments sound a little too shrill for my liking.
omoroca:
And I don't like fake orchestras!
samwyse:
Doesn't offer much new compared to the original tune, also I don't like fake crowd noises.
