Tomb Raider IV – The Last Revelation – Openeing Theme

This soundtrack is what the Angel of Darkness opening theme was based on. I am seriously considering digging up the old MIDI file and re-doing this, bringing it up-to-date (in terms of production) but strictly maintaining its authenticity.

Tomb Raider IV – The Last Revelation – End Boss Music

This track was originally written for Tomb Raider III - Adventures of Lara Croft one year earlier but, unfortunately, it was too late to make the submission disc.

 Tomb Raider IV / V – Boss Music

The inspiration behind this theme was tactical fighting and was intended for sub-bosses that needed precision strategy, rather than Lara’s usual shoot & jump method.

Tomb Raider V – Chronicles – End Credits

This composition is 80′s inspired (some people say I’m still living in the 80′s, maybe I am) but, for my life, can’t think of exactly where I drew inspiration… anyone?

Tomb Raider IV - The Last Revelation - Intro FMV

I still laugh at this FMV… No idea why, I just do!!!

Tomb Raider IV - The Last Revelation - End FMV

Is it me or is everything LOUD LOUD LOUD? I’m a lot more dynamic with my mixes these days and I’m heavily inspired by film sound design techniques.
