This remix is dedicated to the work of Ben Daglish, Anthony Lees, Matt Gray, Reyn Ouwehand and Paul 'Feekzoid' Hannay. The idea behind this track is to create an end credits mood, where all the different scenes (games) pass your eyes again.

Attention:
If you leave a cinema before the outro is finished, this theme will probably be not a good idea for your ears. Also if you dislike orchestral appearance in remixes.

I would like to thank 'Eliot' for beta-testing, although I couldn't completely follow his wishes.

Dan shouts:

Tho I hate to say it, its a standard Schnieder affair but oh what a standard he has, a gorgeously put together medly

Makke shouts:

Mmm... Schneiderized!

Skitz shouts:

Markus has to score a film or there is no justice in this world! This is an amazing take on the Last Ninja end credit tune! I wonder what Ben thinks of this!

DHS shouts:

It's definitely boring how Markus can be over all of us :)

Waz shouts:

Now this is a bit nice. Just oozes quality and film score. Excellent job Markus!

kai shouts:

Markus strikes again with a goosebump-inducing orchestral monster-wank of an all-time classic! Nothing left to say but WOAH! :) Thanks for that piece!

monty shouts:

Voting it lower than outstanding wouldn't do it justice, but: The modified melody in the first part (my favourite Last Ninja-tune) irritates my ears a lot *complain*

njoy shouts:

Incredible work, Markus... Last Ninja meets Hollywood! Somber and moving in the first part (a la Newton Howard), turns into an epic anthem the Last Ninja theme in the finale. Ultra-recommended!

ifadeo shouts:

F.... Brilliant! Another outstanding remix by mr. Schneider....

infamous shouts:

House of flying daggers all over again.. Well produced well made.. Well done

cirdan shouts:

I am highly impressed by this remix. Simply amazing arrangement! Great great work, Markus =)

zuckerfrei shouts:

LOL... Winnetou meets Hans Zimmer...! Thanks anyway... XD

westerling shouts:

!!!!!!!!!!

humppapumppu shouts:

Yet another boring orchestral remake. Just not my cup of tea.

speedy shouts:

Excellent!

tball shouts:

Beginning is very nice, pompous, traditional Chinese, but then looses focus... Also has too much "downtime"...

prowler shouts:

Professional production. I would love it for a movie end credits, but not for 'active' listening.

romeo_knight shouts:

Top notch movie score production. Indeed demands a moving picture otherwise it can get a little boring.

jaytee shouts:

Beautifully arranged. Great production. Maybe not to everybodys taste, where one could find it 'a little boring' I can listen to it over and over. Great job Markus!

load_error shouts:

Your musical skills are wonderfull, no doubts, but this is a little bit too pompous and epic for my tastes.. And that melody changed is an outrageous choice on such famous melody :-(

feekzoid shouts:

Fantastic orchestral score rendering of some memorable themes. Superb.

aero shouts:

This is simply awesome..

morden shouts:

Extremly Exelent "Last Samurai" Style

eliot shouts:

My headphone-cable is defect, so I can't write usefull stuff now... Voting is based on beta-version. Update: strings have a synthetic touch and still too long/repetitive, beside that, it's very good.

weasel shouts:

Very nice effort for sure!! The only thing which stays with most of those orchestral remixes is that I _alyways_ seem to hear that it's _not_ a real orchestra (of course) as it sounds kinda 'midi'-synthized in some parts more and in some parts less!:-/

humorguy shouts:

Majestic. Or How To Fly Without Leaving Your Chair. Totally agree with the sentiment that this guy should be writing film scores.

LMan shouts:

Movie score alert!

redbow shouts:

Dont ever get shy with this interpetation in your briefcase. Just dont sell out to some glaze-eyed Hollywood producer. This would make a typical Peter Jackson production perhaps?

anaconda shouts:

Synth orcestra is not my cup of tea. But this was very well done anyway.

hillsman shouts:

Epic, orchestral stuff - could swear there's a bit of the Spiderman movie theme in there!!

superturbo shouts:

Sounds too much like film music to me with no real lead...

peteliuz shouts:

This song is like from the "fictional" The Last ninja movie! :) Superb work!

crik shouts:

Bloody great

mfe shouts:

Sounding a little lacking in expression in places, but still nicely arranged.

omoroca shouts:

Another failed attempt to simulate an orchestra with synth sounds. Good arrangement, but the sound is too artificial and MIDish and far from what a real orchestra can do. No Ninja spirit in it, sounds more like Winnetou!

xerex shouts:

Well done atmospheric orchestral arrangement

Nebdar shouts:

Oh it is too short.... But nice

timmya4000 shouts:

Brilliant!!! Did not recognise the 3rd tune sadly but I still loved this

Well I really like this, and not just because Markus's rendition of my Ninja IV intro theme is present and makes the hairs on the back of my neck rise 😊

I liked this so much I tried to persuade Markus to do (or collaborate) a Ninja themed soundtrack album to an imaginary movie.

Ignore the naysayers, in the great scheme of things the Ninja series has BARELY been done with orchestral instrumentation, and I for one would love to hear more.

First of all, technically this one is high-end, no doubt!
The quality of the orchestral intruments is just astonishing!
It starts very promisingly with a piece from last ninja 1, then changes into one of my personal favourites, the last ninja 3 level 1 tune from reyn ouwehand. But sadly the original character of this tune isnt captured very good in my opinion. Sounds like gladiator or a knights-movie… after that it changes back to a last ninja 1 tune i think, not sure… and this one now sounds like the score to a cowboy film. At the end it changes again to a last ninja 2 tune which also does not fit the mood of the original piece. For my personal taste its just too turgid, too much of everything. For me, musically theres no straight line…
So, sorry, i just cant share the enthusiasm of most others… i personally think markus should have concentrated on just remixing one tune. This would have been great!!
