Section 1: Introduction & History
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tomb Raider game soundtrack is arguably one of the best soundtracks
ever created for a game. The fully orchestrated score sounds great,
especially considering that it uses all synthesized instruments.
The reason for this guide is to provide players with a 'map' of all the
locations and events that trigger the music tracks. This is mostly
intended for the PC users who missed out on the mood created by this
soundtrack.
To the best of my knowledge, the information in this guide is complete
and accurate.
History:
07-28-2002
This guide is created. Some track information might be missing.
=======================================================================
Section 2: Track List
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Since Track 1 is actually the data track for the game, it has not been
included in this listing. (Just add one to the track number to get
the actual track numbers as they appear on the PSX game CD.)
Also, I have given descriptive names to the tracks to help identify
them, as there are no track titles available as far as I know. These
names are _not_ official and have _not_ been approved of by Core
Design.
The tracks listed here are ordered as they appear on the PSX game CD.
I have not confirmed if the Sega Saturn version is the same.
I have not verified this, but apparently tracks 01 and 04 were the only
tracks available in the PC version.

Tracks named "???" are music tracks that I was unable to trigger.
Either I missed the area or event that triggers them, or they were not
included in the actual game but are present on the CD. If you have any
information regarding these tracks, please contact me by email
(
[email protected] ). If I can verify any information sent to me,
I'll update this guide and add you to the credits, so don't forget to
sign your message. :)

Section 4: Questions and Answers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What kind of equipment was used to record the orchestral music?
A: Nathan McCree used a Roland JV-90 synthesizer with an SR-JV80
expansion board (Orchestra).
Q: Why was the music left out of the PC version?
A: Apparently switching music tracks during the game on earlier CD-ROM
models would cause a delay during which the game would freeze.
