Grant Kirkhope - one of the legends of videogame music has remastered some of his GE tracks! Archives now offically has an end to the track!
Looks like one of the multiplayer songs was named "Perimiter". Interesting!

Very cool, will listen to them shortly.
Edit: Awesome, Perimeter is the non-Jungle extra track. Now we have an official name for it! |

(Clicked the Contact Grant link on the sidebar.)
I wonder if he'd be willing to send us the actual MIDIs, so that we can get them working in-game. |

| Just listened to his Perfect Dark tracks, too. Really did a number on the end credits theme. The others were pretty true to the originals, but have the X tracks mixed in (kind of disappointing that this wasn't done for GE, unless he didn't do the X tracks there?). |

Graeme Norgate started working on the GE soundtrack, but he was also composing music simultaniously for "Blast Corps". He then asked Grant if he could take over where he left off, due to the time constraints that he would have faced if he had to do both!
Therefore, I would say that it is more likely that Grant composed more of the tracks than Graeme! |

Seeing as Grant is the original artist who composed the tracks, I would say they are more remasters than covers.
Thinking about it, I think the only reason why he changed the instruments is because of that N64 dev kit that he mentioned - hence the lack of the original samples! |
