First time poster, LOOOOONG time lurker. Figured it was about time I posted as I have something worth posting about
Over the last month or so I began to re-orchestrate and re-arrange pieces from an old adventure game that is dear to many of our hearts.. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. The original score composed by Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, and Michael Z. Land was epic in its own right and has some amazing themes and motifs running throughout. What I've done here is totally reworked some of the original midi source files and have re-recorded them utilizing a custom sample library recorded in London... which is why this album is called "The London Sessions". This has been done before... but not like this and not to this scale. In fact, this could almost be considered a "music inspired by" situation due to the amount of reorchestrating and arranging that I've done... but you'll undoubtedly recognize themes from the game in all of their epic glory! I assure you that this is as close as we'll ever get to a live orchestral performance of FOA.
Because only ONE custom sample set was used the album has a very nice cohesive feel to it and turned out really well. Just please understand this is not meant to be a complete score and a direct rip of the game score... it has been re orchestrated to give it more of a modern vibe.
Those familiar with the game will REALLY enjoy this for sure. Those who aren't should grab a copy of it off of STEAM or unlock the game within the Wii version of Staff of Kings. Old school goodness.
Anyway, this is far from a complete score from the game, in fact it's more like a "best of" but all of the big pieces are there.
Here's the full track list.
TRT - 31 Minutes +/-
1. The Raiders March (main titles)* - 2:23
2. Map Screen - :30
3. Kerner and Trip To Iceland (Kerner steals the statue)* - 3:13
4. Sophias Presentation - 2:19
5. Streets of Monte Carlo (monte carlo car chase) - 1:47
6. The Unfortunate Death of Dr. Jones* - 1:24
7. Fight at the Dig (fight music)* - 1:31
8. The First Ring of Atlantis - 3:13
9. Crab Raft - 2:25
10. Lava Maze - 2:54
11. Finale and End Credits (the second ring of atlantis)* - 9:25
*-Contains portions of The Raiders March by John Williams
