Therefore this soundtrack could build upon its reputation and salvage the disappointing soundtracks that featured in ‘Chronicles’ and ‘The Last Revelation’ Lara could carry and sell this game by herself so Eidos needn’t worry. The compositions are pure and do not reek of over-perfected production with a commercial gain. It took on more than a role of filling a space but to assist in capturing a moment and brewing up emotion like never before. This is where I believe the creators of Tomb Raider took the aspect of music in video gaming and Lara’s endeavors seriously. It was orchestrated by Peter Wraight and conducted by David Snell. A staggering advancement on the themes of the past, this soundtrack was recorded at Abbey Road Studios featuring the London Symphony Orchestra. It is a magnificent treat for the ears and a welcome return to form. The compositions represent the same classical elements of before but thrown into the cauldron were keyboards and synthesizers producing a cinematic experience. The option of silence was used at particular times when totally necessarily and great at setting us on edge. The music is continuous and matches Lara’s environments perfectly.

The music to accompany this striking game, for me is utterly perfect. Sound designer Peter Connelly was on board again as was Martin Iveson who has worked on two other soundtracks I enjoy, these being Fighting Force (1997) and Ninja: Shadow of Darkness (1998) The storyline has us following Lara across Europe in an attempt to clear her name of the murder of her mentor Werner Von Croy. Tomb Raider ‘The Angel of Darkness’ promised a completely different experience, it’s promoter teams dealing comprehensive marketing, PR and advertising campaigns. Her soul was hard to penetrate yet her demeanor was caring, kind and responsible when required. Lara had become more sophisticated than ever before, her personality had developed a darker, brooding undercurrent. Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness (2003)Ī new console, a new image and new composers, this was a turning point in the Tomb Raider trilogy.
