gavin shouts:
One of my favourite LN remixes!
humorguy shouts:
Feekin' marvelous! Another Red one..... Big surprise, eh?!
omoroca shouts:
It has a LN1 melody but a LN3 feel to it, which works perfectly. Only some of the "orchestral" instruments sound a little to MID'ish for my taste. Thus "only" Very Good! Added to my collection anyway.
luegisdorf shouts:

You don't often hear guitar beginning a Ninja track. That's the first surprise with this. The second is that the SID (despite the orchestral track) is still here in FXd form, along with a distinctly Art of Noise set of drums. Then the Orchestral X-files parts starts. It's sublime: great cello, guitar and pianos, wonderful string work, nice X-Files lead, thunder… then it turns into an 80s OMD kind of cover. Well, you can't fault this tune for variety! Oh yes, the guitar solo at the end: marvellous! Must-download.

What a fantastic instrumental soundtrack this is! It creates a varied and impressive atmosphere, switching between a clearly recognizable synth theme with powerful drums and less percussive slow'n'sweet sections based on acoustic guitar and piano accompany. Towards the end of the 4:12 long track you can enjoy a climax featuring a lead e-guitar. Makes it probably one of the most complete SID remixes so far.

(Btw, according to HVSC 5. 2 it covers The Inner Sanctum (loader) by Anthony Lees, not Ben Daglish.)
