I appreciate the hard work that goes into this sort of project, and I’d say they probably slightly underestimated how much work and hoops to jump through it takes to get music released via the correct channels, I certainly don’t envy them and I’m very grateful to them for doing the whole project still and preserving with it, well done Nathan and the team!
I’m going tonight with my partner, so excited, is anyone taking anything to get signed? I’ve paid for meet and greet so I guessed it wouldn’t be too cheeky.... lol |

As unprofessional as it is to lash out at people for their opinions even when they happen to be negative, he's still human. We all make mistakes. It's for the best that he backs away form social media and let someone else handle it.
Anyway, for those that went, how did the concert go? |

It was truly a magical experience! Even my partner who knows very little about it all thoroughly enjoyed it, and meeting Nathan, Shelly, and Alison was brilliant, they were all so warm and welcoming and I took loads of pics with them! And they signed my game manuals for TR1/2/3 and I got Alison to sign the Underworld one. Loved it, can’t wait to get my Kickstarter rewards when they’re ready, don’t rush it though Nathan, good things come to those who wait.....

The project is to make a real absolute top-quality of the scores from the original 3 Tomb Raider games by Nathan McCree. These scores were originally produced using synthesisers but the aim was to produce it with a world class orchestra. After the huge success of an initial concert in 2016 including 3 standing ovations Nathan decided to do a kickstarter to fund the recording. Keeping in mind this was music from games that were 20 years ago, remarkably with the support of Tomb Raider fans the kickstarter managed to raise around £193,000 which meant the full recording could be done at the world famous Abbey Road studios (famous for recordings by the Beatles). The number of performers was over 160 (choir included) making it was the largest ever ensemble to perform at that famous studio. The full recording has been completed, mixed and mastered. Having heard it at a preview event in my personal opinion it is of the most incredible quality. I was left giddy with excitement. Sadly there have been substantial delays caused by issues over VAT registrations, one of Nathan's team leaving and the birth of his latest child. A few people have been angry and indeed vocal at the delays and at perhaps on an odd occasion Nathan didn't respond in the best way to this. I think the vast majority are still very much behind the project. The 'twitter drama' does little to detract from the great achievement of bringing these iconic 90's soundtrack to the absolute perfect orchestral versions. It was really fantastic. Tracks like the T-Rex, Skidoo and Venice were just amazing and done to perfection. Allison Carroll came dressed in the full classic outfit and was doing some gymnastics as well during one track and Shelley Blond did a great job of presenting. They were fabulous in the meet and greet session too signing load of pieces for everyone and doing photos. I met Nathan before hand and he said the release was now weeks away so is something very much to look forward to. Last edited by Error96; 19-09-18 at 00:06. |
