I've had a nice quote for DVD sleeves off some printers round my way, but all these were crafted by me just a scalpel and good paper. Hah. Actually I got 20 Epson Glossy A4 sheets for 1.99 in Sainsburys in Oldham. Should be 7.99 normally! Abuse the system before they realise! ... Y'know... if anyone wanted paper or anything.
Right now these are just for show 'cuz the game is a university project and all. But I might do proper job of it all with DVD sleeves. Originally I wanted something arty like a Digipack box but phht they're pricey.
I like it! It's quite "tubular bellsish" but I think that'll be easily forgotten in the context of the game. I also love the box art. The first (dark purple) is easily my favourite design. Good luck with the rest of your project.

It sounds Tubular Bells-LIKE. But it ISN'T Tubular Bells. It's just like the many rap/hip hop groups you have nowadays: sounds almost always the same, but isn't.
I always thought my sequence style was similar to his. In that I just pile on the layers. A-B-A-B+A-C. Even did the same with Sam! To be honest the track in style is more similar to Huelsbeck.
I don't know if it's Tubular Bells or not, but the main theme is definitely some classical piece of music. In fact it's almost note for note, except the original goes:
A, B, A, B, A, B, A, B
A, A, A, A, A, A, A, B
Where A and B signify the two parts of the high piano part (not notes).
In fact, here's an extract of a song I wrote in 2005 using the exact part. I was going to finish it, but I dismissed it because the main theme was clearly robbed from something.
It's a jolly simple pattern isn't it. Huelsbeck does it too (half the Turrican 1 (1989) soundtrack has a similar melody), so did Mike Oldfield, so did you. Just another 12 bar blues style progression that winds up everywhere?
