Hello GameSoundCon! Looking forward to giving a little talk about game music composition, old and new, this afternoon!
Actually I think that might be Clint Bajakian’s tune.
I don’t remember making that soundtrack CD, but I did have a K2000 in my own studio starting around 1992
They seem like pretty good guesses. I have to listen to know for sure, and even then it’s been a long time. One thing I can say: Michael wrote the bridge to the Largo music while I wrote the main part.
Well, it’s been so long. Also, there was just one song with many verses, perhaps split up later? My recollection is that Tommy wrote the music and lyrics (or perhaps the lyrics were written by the Dev team?), but there may have been some collaboration. Clint or Tommy might remember better.
Clint, Michael, Tommy Tallarico I and recorded a Chosen One song at Clint’s studio back in the day. The lead guy with the bad Scottish Accent is me
Is there a song about “The Chosen One” on it?

Not yet, but believe me we will get to the bottom of it.
Missed this a while back. That's me, and the bridge is by Michael Land!

We've got another oldie but goodie from the South Sector Boppers for you on day 107 of #TheDiegeticShuffle: "Kayfoundo Naweea" means "Hungry Eyes" in Huttese, and no it's not an Eric Carmen cover but another Cabaret-style song from @petermcconnell.bsky.social. youtu.be/SORzg95CGcA?...

Pretty sure Clint did Phatt and I did Booty. I also did Guybrush's dive to the shipwreck, which was based on a traditional sea shanty called "Hullaballoo Belay."

Jimmy's here in Heaven, and let me tell you, it's rare to meet someone who got the 'love thy neighbor' part so right.
My pleasure. Huge fan of your work. That score is righteous!
You are 100% correct and I still own that K2000 with the expansion!
