Rayman 2 Remastered Prologue Music

Post by purplelum »


As a long time fan of the early Rayman games, I've remastered the audio of the intro of Rayman 2: The Great Escape. Using my skills as a composer for games, I re-orchestrated the iconic track "Prologue ~ Anguish and Pain" into an epic orchestral version, but still reminiscent of the original. If you listen carefully, you'll even hear a hint to the Robo-Pirate music "On the Front Lines" in the percussion!

The music has be recreated from scratch in FL Studio 20 using mainly Kontakt libraries from Native Instruments, Percussionism, Requiem, Soundiron and Spitfire. Extra sound effects are made by PMSFX. The intro was narrated by Moira Todd, who did an amazing take on Ly's soft and weak voice!

You can listen to the music track without sound effects and narration at https://soundcloud.com/purplelum/anguish-and-pain.

Nice purple lum! Good job making it. Do you plan on doing any more songs from Rayman 2?

Thank you!

I'm not sure yet about future projects, but I have some favorite Rayman 2 songs that I'd love to remaster some day, I just don't have concrete plans yet. So much to do and so little time... :mrgreen:

Only got around to listening to this now… :oops2:

This is some very nice work, I really enjoyed listening! :up:

Regarding the narration, I've always thought the emphasis should be on "you" in "now that they've captured you". I can't remember off-hand how it's done in the official versions that have voice acting…
