Tie-Fighter Original Soundtrack

(Review for Tie Fighter: Game rip by ***MI TROOPER***)

This is one of the best Star Wars based music ever, no doubt about it!

I can remember when I played Tie-Fighter for the 1st time back in 1994 and I was amazed by the terrific arrangements by Clint Bajakian, Michael Land and Peter McConnell.
It really works on an emotional level and the music truly captures the spirit of fighting for the Empire with al the various militaristic themes.

My most favorite theme is when the battle is going well for the Empire.
You can hear it start with the subtle use of Emperor's theme that finally explodes with the full rendition of the theme.
When this happened you really felt that you were fighting for a grand cause!

It's so sad that I can't play this game anymore on today’s pc computers.
Lucasarts did release a Collectors Edition of Tie-Fighter a few years ago.
But they completely left out the midi based music in favor of John Williams’s original soundtrack that looped continuously and basically added little to the whole feel and purpose of the game, which was fighting for the emperor!!!

My biggest wish is to hear a live orchestra playing the themes of Tie-Fighter!
The London Symphony orchestra would be the obvious choice to do this.
Sadly this will probably never happen.
