Then again, I don't see Miller working on anything else at allllllllllllllll, or am I wrong?
Well, yeah. The guy kind of disappeared shortly after
EWJ, ha. Still, his score for the game is immortal, and I can't stand Tallarico's arrangements for the later versions.
I dunno, something about Tallarico rubs me the wrong way. I bought the PSX
Tomorrow Never Dies soundtrack for the few Sonic Mayhem tunes, a soundtrack which Tallarico and some others primarily did the music for, and in the booklet he gives a little introduction about the advancement of video game music—how in the old days with chiptunes, you had little blips and bleeps that you often couldn't layer too heavily, and that now you can use "real" music and transfer it to CD for the game. The way he spoke about it seemed very condescending toward chiptunes and classic video game music, as if being able to use an orchestra or something and have tons of harmonies in a video game score makes it so much better. I guess I'd have to type up the introduction to properly convey his asshattery, ha.
Most people I've come across or read interviews by really do think Tallarico did the first
EWJ's music, though—both because he did
EWJ2 and also rearranged the tunes of the first game for CD, I suppose. It's an easy mistake on their part.
