notes: 'Song commentary from the artists

  Flossie’s Frolic (Yak):

  The tune was done back around 2002, around the time that the soundtrack for T3K
  was being made. I didn’t consider contributing to T3K myself since I’d never even
  tried to make a tune before. I got a copy of Fruityloops on my PC and over the course
  of a few days built this track. It’s pretty much a simple techno piece like you
  would expect from anyone having their first go on Fruityloops. The baaing in the
  tune is the actual baaing of my beloved old pet sheep Flossie, a grand old lady
  who lived to the age of 16, and who featured in many of my games (her baa has been
  used in many games and her image appeared as a spacesheep in the hidden Flossie
  Mode of Defender 2000). She is gone now but her memory (and her baaing) will live
  on forever.

  Satipn (Redpoint)

  After finishing up a fragile, ambient album (Protect & Survive), we wanted to stretch
  out and do something pummelling and ravey and relentless – a riff on the shuffling,
  mid-period Prodigy clatter of the T2K soundtrack. Testing the game was a big inspiration,
  too – we found the hostile mood sat perfectly with music that was full of clashing,
  swarming, snarling… stuff. (None of yer spacey Prog House or off-the-peg techno).
  We’d also wanted to use that voice sample (“Bring me EVERYONE!”) of Gary Oldman
  from Leon for a while but could never make it fit anywhere. Given the game’s crazed,
  unpredictable, impossible-odds lunacy, it seems custom-made. Oh, and the title is
  an arcane musical-notation thing.

  Side of the Angels (Jim McCauley):

  Side Of The Angels came about over an embarrassingly long period of time, for a
  lot of which it sounded utterly rubbish. I started out with the intention of making
  something inspired by the Tempest 2000 soundtrack and Rob Hubbard’s C64 tunes, and
  made it up as I went along. After a lot of mucking about with instrumentation and
  the inspired notion of plugging in some truly cheesy and much-maligned House piano,
  I finally ended up with something that sounded not too bad, if a little on the quiet
  side compared with the other tracks. I’d go back and remaster it for the PC version,
  but my source files are a complete mess and I’m not sure I could fit it all back
  together again without wanting to rip it all apart and do a complete remix.

  Gardening By Numbers (Redpoint)

  One of the first things Redpoint did together was a sprawling, meaty-beaty, Sasha-inspired
  Prog-beast called Tundra. A clipped version was used in demos for Llamasoft’s Xbox
  360 visualiser/light-synth Neon, but the original had a lush, synth-pad interlude
  type-thing that cued in a second section. We thought that would be ideal as the
  basis of a swirling ambient soundscape backing up the bonus level’s sense of gentle
  drift. The otherworldly Numbers Station samples are blended with a little girl Jeff
  recorded reading out numbers in Welsh – ‘cos that’s well monged, isn’t it?'
