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:

germantaz:
Did we hear different tunes? This one is absolutely brilliant
styxdaniel:
Nice breakbeats! I wish there were more breakbeat remixes…
Scyphe:
This is fresh, well mixed and interesting. Thumbs up from me.😊
prowler:
Not bad at all, but very similar what's been done before.
omoroca:
The sound is a little too crisp for my taste, but the thing has a good flow.
_steve_:
The intro to this is a complete disjointed mess. The tune is accurate, but then it's the SID so you'd expect that. The brreakbeats are nice enough, but not enough to lift this to a yellow smiley.
LaLa:
The drum section sounds all over the place, especially in the intro, it just doesn't get going. Leaving the SID sounds in there was also a mistake.
Waz:
SID sounds, backing and breakbeats placed at the wrong place = chaos. It doesn't sound coherent at all and needs plenty of more work to work properly. Can people, for once, pick something ELSE instead of Last Ninja?
c64glen:
Seriously, what happened to the filter?
