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.

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

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

burakku:
Just love this…
kaus:
Like it very much, soft nostalgic
Dan:
Really nice feel to this and just lovely when the drums kick in
Skitz:
I really like this one - nicely chilled out with a nice feel to the drums (even though they are clearly not real!)
MORBID:
C'mon… The remix is good.
marko42:
Not great, not bad
mikey:
Quite nice, athough the refrain/bridge/whatever bit in the middle just sounded way wrong. The rest was nice, especially the mellow piano ending (reminded me of the ending of Epic by Faith No More).
LMan:
Quite uninspired. The instrumentation is basically nice, but quite monotonous, and there is little dynamics. Good mixing though.
Makke:
I think the drums are quite boring. I expected a groovier beat. Original instrumentation, I'll give you that. And the execution is OK. A bit repetitive, but gets the job done.
Waz:
Pretty good effort at sounding oriental, although there's not enough instrument variety to really make it stand out. Also, when the drums kick in, they're just not enough and sound a bit repetitive. Needs work, but the idea is there.
eliot:
Quite boring…
infamous:
The instruments are a bit arse tbh, slightly highpitched earbendingly argh! At times. It doesnt really do anything either, tune doesnt go anywere, drums are boring. Not the worst though but definitely no were near best either.
westerling:
I like the flute sound, but not the drum sound. It´s not there. And I don´t dig the new harmonics in the refrain. Otherwise OK.
prowler:
Uninspired is my feeling as well.
Tas:
It's a bit dull for me really. I wouldn't play it more than once and for that reason it'd be odd to rate it higher.
Ziphoid:
I found this kinda boring, actually. It became a bit better when the drums started, but they were extremely repetitive.
anaconda:
Not quite sure about this one. It was okish before the drums started. They felt totally bad. Then the guitars pulled the song up from the dirt. Remove the earliest drums, and it's one higher mark from me.
floaf:
Distuned?? Or is it my ears?
omoroca:
The beginning is average, but at 2:12 it starts being totally odd, in a way that was probably not intended. Guitar at 3:00 sounds good, but the 2:12 issue disqualifies the whole tune for me.
