Lost Patrol
Although I don't remember too much of the actual game (other than being terrible at it),
the beauty and simplicity of the music always stuck with me. For such a simple track though,
I felt that it was a pretty difficult piece to remix without losing the spirit of the original.

Some inspiration came from listening to a couple of other music tracks:-

"Leaving Wallbrook/On The Road" from the movie Rain Man
"A Travel Diary" from the PS1 game Soul Calibur - this may explain the plucked/strumming
sound that most of you are not keen on.....I don't mind it too much though :-)

I'm fairly pleased with the final result and hopefully my approach to it has captured the
emotion of the original yet added something a little bit fresh and interesting too.

I may come back to this piece again in the future and record some actual guitars (just need
to clean the dust off my guitar and practice it a lot more first) and maybe change a few sounds.....

Dr Future shouts: Mister Ghostie has done a beautiful piece here - but wh the very annoying sample in the refrain? That brings everything down...
Amok shouts: I have to agree with Dr. Future but I think its still very good.
prowler shouts: It's good, but as mentioned some parts just don't fit together...
Chainsaw shouts: Very good.
Caboose shouts: Oh the potential... The intro swept me off my feet. You went a bit TOO calm with it though, I think. But excellent take on it(!! ). I like the calm, relaxing take on it, only could have had a bit more punch. I don't think the mandolin fit in.
karl_xii shouts: Good!
Melaure shouts: Fine for me too and relaxing :D (I like this tune). Seems to be more 'asian inspired' than the original :D
