Choicest VGM - VGM #125 - Lemmings - tim1





Composed by: Tim Wright
Arranged for DOS version by: Tony Williams

And now onto some Lemmings music by another composer, Tim Wright. Apparently the story with the two different composers (according to Wikipedia)was that the original composer, Brian Johnston (artist Scott Johnston's younger brother) sampled copyrighted music in creating his tracks. Back in the old days, composers apparently didn't need to care so much about copyright, especially when it came to traditional or classical music. However, since Brian had a lot of tracks based on traditional and classical music, Tim Wright was recruited to replace the tracks.

This is the first of Tim Wright's tracks, aptly named "tim1". Whenever I hear this track I could almost imagine the Lemmings grooving to an 80s mix tape.
