BaconProcurement Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I recently just beaten Tomb Raider: Anniversary on PS3 (got all the trophies) and couldn't help notice how good the soundtrack was, specifically the main theme. I decided to search this site to see if any remixes were made for this series only to find exactly one. So is there any remixes out there of this series? Perhaps a nice acoustic guitar rendition, heavy metal remake, or soothing piano piece? As beloved as this series is, the musical side is severely lacking, though I guess the lack of music played during the main game could be to blame.

Garpocalypse Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) You're going to want to talk to AngelCityOutlaw. He had a Tomb Raider remix on the workshop a little while ago that I think he is fixing up. http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=38427 I really liked the music from Underworld and would flip for a remix of it.

I am touched that you remember. I'm not exactly working on it though. That remix now exists only as a MIDI on one of my back-up discs. I do agree that the music from the series needs more remixing. Actually, Timaeus and I , but wound up doing the Metroid remix instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconProcurement Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Oh man, I would have loved to have heard it. Forgot how good those Tomb Raider comics were. I think I still have that omnibus of them somewhere. After doing some mild research, there wasn't any remixes that I could find in the Dwelling of Duels website, nor was their a Tomb Raider tune picked in the PRC compo. Man, I'm just batting out in places I thought would at least have one. This does not bode well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 There are a smattering of Tomb Raider remixes on YouTube, but aside from those (and the one on OCR,) the only music-related Tomb Raider things I can find are the pop albums featuring Rhona Mitra (the original Lara Croft model,) and of course the original soundtracks for the games.

If you PM me with an email address, I could email it to you on Sunday. Thing is, I don't think the remix was very good and it did fail the panel. Who knows though, someday, perhaps a better version will be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely even begun to listen to the ones on youtube and so far they have been pretty "eh". None of them really stand out so far. When I get the chance I will explore that website more. I'm quite intrigued. Well, I just re-checked and I guess I did include an MP3 export with the MIDI on my disc.If you PM me with an email address, I could email it to you on Sunday. Thing is, I don't think the remix was very good and it did fail the panel. Who knows though, someday, perhaps a better version will be made. If you feel that it isn't good, I wouldn't feel right for me to demand to hear it. From what I can gather from the *No* thread, you were on the right track with the mix, just needing fine tuning here and there. I would say to just work on it some more and post it in the WiP thread for a little more feedback. They obviously saw potential in it so you shouldn't feel too disheartened by the rejection. You just have to approach it a bit more differently when you look at it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamphibious Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I was considering giving the main theme of Tomb Raider 3 a remix (it might be the same theme as the first two I can't recall off the top of my head). I loved that game as a kid. I may just add it to my to-do list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that game as a kid. I may just add it to my to-do list I think the themes to first 6 Tomb Raiders are just variations on the same melody. Here's a list of some Tomb Raider sources I love: Tomb Raider - Main theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_ekipC2ANs Tomb Raider 2 - Snowmobile theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BeGCMZ20xU Tomb Raider 2 - Venice Violins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpVOJVQpwKc Tomb Raider 4 - Puzzle theme: Tomb Raider Legend - Main theme: Tomb Raider Legend - Nepal 2: (I tried to remix this one a couple of times but it never sounded good xD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main theme has an God of War-esque feeling to it while the Nepal one is soothing and clearly ethnic driven. It saddens me that I didn't really notice them during my play-through years ago. Now I have to check out the rest of that games soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconProcurement Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Tomb Raider Legend - Main theme: I think this song could be great as a symphonic rock song similar to http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02726/ or http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02388/ This series itself would lend itself well to this genre of music. Though, I'll still settle for anything, even bass heavy techno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconProcurement Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 I was listening to the Tomb Raider Underworld soundtrack recently and loving some of the stuff I was hearing. Two tracks really stuck out: - (strange that it's calling "Payback" on my ipod)Definitely, need some Tomb Raider remixes. So um, mini-necro bump then?
