An Exuberant Affair of Longing & Adventure - The Tomb Raider Suite, Album Review

The Tomb Raider Suite took place on a cold Sunday evening before Christmas in 2016. Festive cheer was in the air and hardcore Tomb Raider music fans descended upon Hammersmith Apollo to witness the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and City of London Choir interpret the classic pieces by composer Nathan McCree. I remember being a couple of minutes late, having caught the bus from Richmond following a few tipples at the very boozy annual Christmas sing-a-long, which usually finds a cacophony of kazoos mimicking ‘Seven Nation Army’ among other pop hits! Upon arrival, I tried to realign my composure and emotions, ready for a special performance of the video game music I’d been obsessed with for near-on twenty years. I always fantasised about the music of Tomb Raider being played live by an orchestra, and that I’d somehow release the soundtracks on vinyl LPs via my own video game music specialist label! A somewhat naïve idea I suppose, and one I was inept at pursuing to fruition.

Anyway, the show that evening was a remarkable success. As I climbed the steps to locate my seat, I felt chills shudder up my spine as I heard the avant-garde musique concrète from the opening ‘Caves’ level. It was slightly comical hearing this two-minute experimental piece of music resound in a huge auditorium, and not within the confines of my impassioned mind. Voice actress and original voice of Lara Croft, Shelley Blond presented, and interjected snippets of information throughout the course of the evening. Robert Ziegler conducted and Nathan McCree appeared onstage himself too, as did others, all coming out of the vaults to recognise and disclose their appreciation to the game and its female protagonist.

Following the concert, a successful Kickstarter crowdfunder saw the newly arranged pieces laid down in the studio at Abbey Road during the latter half of 2017. The results are The Tomb Raider Suite, finally released in 2018 in a variety of formats and deluxe packaging.

But what matters here is the wonderful music that McCree created some twenty years ago. He’s done a fantastic job of rearranging and composing the pieces for a full orchestra, and likely without the budget and tech constraints when the game was simply a mid ‘90s experiment for the still relatively new PlayStation console.

The album opens with the moody and claustrophobic ‘Temple of Xian’, a brief forty second piece from Tomb Raider II, which is lengthened to take on a more sincere role. Its melancholic and compassionate air sets up the tone for the listener and the type of journey they’ll entail. Harp plucks unfold gently like foliage as the Metro Voices Choir unleash the ever-so familiar, and overarching Tomb Raider theme tune and motif. The ‘Tomb Raider Theme’, a staple since 1996, is faithfully brought to life with clarinet and brass circulating almost mechanically like an orrery. Solo violin pierces through and swells under such emotional weight.

The Metro Choir carry this music in all respects and is very much a key component to the overall sound. The eerie and often ambiguous acapella vocals drift with unease on ‘Where The Depths Unfold’, and genuinely convey how the games are shrouded in mysticism with a solemn reverence for relics of the past and ancient civilisations. My favourite piece from this section is originally heard at the start of the Natla’s Mines level and is just as stirring in its performance here. Equally uplifting in parts and despondent in others, it echoes the Christian mystic music of German Abbess, Hildegard von Bingen several centuries prior.

The pace picks-up on the high intensity piece, ‘The T-Rex’, its strings, vibraphone and percussion bounding along frantically. The fact the piece is extended beyond the one-minute mark of the original will delight many, and overall, it feels as though these pieces have taken on a certain ‘radio edit’ friendliness, in order to fully realise their potential. The problem I had with the original game was how the music erupted on screen, only to disappear soon after. The music was also sparse in terms of presence, which is forgiven when the levels aim to emulate the claustrophobic nature of an underground tomb. To the present day, Nathan has arranged his pieces in an almost unpredictable, but moreover clever way – it’s like they’ve become radio hits of the classical world, and their reworkings are appreciated.

‘Longing For Home’ is sublime and sumptuous, the strings slickly wrapping around the listener, whilst ‘A Friend Since Gone’ peddles a 1970s passionate Ennio Morricone Italo-soundtrack, as the ever-lush strings envelop us in yearning. Likewise, ‘Time To Run’ gracefully energises as we lead into the Tomb Raider II section.

The ‘Tomb Raider II Theme’ is a little middling in comparison and the motif flogs the same tract on ‘Vertigo’, albeit with a darker tone. However, a firm fan favourite of the game was the rip-roaring anthem, ‘Venice’, which saw gamers speeding through the canals and vicious underbelly of the Mafia in the otherwise Renaissance city. The track is sublime and this studio recording is a pure joy to behold. The harpsichord rattles and jangles on as the triumphant strings soar. You’d be forgiven for thinking you’d walked in on a recital from Handel himself!

Inducing goose bumps, it’s typical of nostalgia and the ecstatic impulse lurking within this music. Another classic moment from the sequel is when we drive a snowmobile in the Tibetan foothills. ‘The Skidoo’ unleashes a series of edgy pizzicato probes, as dramatically camp piano thuds are backed with the intensity of prolonged strings, all leading up to a crescendo of brass and thunderous timpani. The original version was presented as a fabulous quasi-techno track, so I feel the omission of some sort of electronic beat weakens it somewhat. And with the amount of reverb and layered instrumentation going on here, it can get lost in a frantic stew. Yet, the fantastic percussion leading us out is very much welcomed and is one of the albums joyous highlights.

By the time we reached Tomb Raider III, we all but knew the main soundtrack motifs and components, as well as the tried-and-tested game formula. The task for McCree was to come up with something as original and engaging as before, yet take listeners even further into the realms of mysticism and intrigue. Thankfully, he succeeded in doing so with the third instalment. The compositions are distinctly mature and delectably admirable, developing on an even grander scale. This is evident on ‘The Puzzle Element’, ‘Tony (The Loon)’ and ‘The Cavern Sewers’, which all reverberate with meek and enigmatic vibraphone, akin to the abstractions found on an Evelyn Glennie record.

One piece that stands out is the unashamedly mystic ‘Something Spooky In That Jungle’, which introduces tabla and drone as a welcome interval. It plods along with ease and in a diminished fashion, the ebb and flow of the strings sliding around sitar. It also briefly progresses into tiki exotica territory with poised marimba swaying in an emotional cauldron that embraces the essence of voodoo and Indian mythology. Superb.

Throughout the album, many sections revolve around a variation of themes, often taking on new forms altogether. It’s an intriguing listen, and having a good knowledge of the music, I feel quite a few of the shorter pieces are missing from the album. I believe they could’ve been utilised in some way, a gathering of musical ideas, if you will. However, for the sake of the album, it feels more complete without them, with the best musical moments harvested for the final performance.

To close the album, Nathan has included a new piece titled ‘In The Blood’, which celebrates the trilogy of games. It utilises themes already witnessed but has a lovely air of finality about it and summarises Nathan’s ambitions with his soundtracks. Weirdly, the inclusion of three medleys at the end doesn’t seem relevant to me. Nevertheless, The Tomb Raider Suite is a meticulously pensive concept and artefact, an extraordinary time capsule for a pop culture icon and gaming phenomenon.

Who or What is to Blame for Human Suffering? An Examination of Todd Haynes’s Safe 

Safe follows the deterioration of suburban housewife Carol White. Carol’s story begins in the insularity of her polished San Fernando Valley home. As mysterious symptoms of illness begin to accelerate in severity and frequency, Carol seeks help from a New Age retreat program for “chemically sensitive people.” The tragedy of Carol White serves as a versatile allegory– perhaps most notably compared to the experience of AIDS patients in America due to the film’s direct references to the disease and the relevance of HIV/AIDS both in the decade the film takes place and in which it was made. A great deal of literature on this film was written in the nineties, but the social implications of Haynes’ Safe have only expanded as history continues to develop.

Broadly, Carol’s story is one of invisible suffering under large uncontrollable forces. Theorists compare her circumstances to many applications of contemporary injustices. Even in the film’s conclusion, viewers are never provided with an explanation for Carol’s symptoms or an established expectation of her fate. Continuity between scholarly arguments lies here: Haynes creates an unsympathetic protagonist to confront and critique public perceptions of suffering. Safe is a deep structural critique that challenges the privatization of personal struggle, asking viewers to decide whether we have the capability of alleviating ourselves from adversity or whether we are doomed victims of larger and uncredited influences of our environment.

Safe is presented with motifs of melodrama: the female heroine is caught in a seemingly inescapable cycle of tragedy, both within her psyche and demonstrated through her weakening relationships and physical health. Carol suffers the claustrophobia of domesticity and maintenance of the ideal feminine image, gradually becoming so incapable of existing in contemporary society that it toxifies her to a deadly point. Haynes leans on the tropes of melodrama to portray the experience of invisible and unheard suffering through the experience of upper-middle-class Carol White. However, Haynes simultaneously challenges the viewers’ sympathies, creating a protagonist with whom it is incredibly difficult to identify. Hayne creates a nearly invisible protagonist, placing viewers in the gaze of entities that allow suffering to go unnoticed and unsympathized. Carol’s integrity and morality is unclear if not nonexistent, rendering it difficult for audiences to empathize with her or determine whether she “deserves'' her suffering. 

Carol seemingly has no desires other than to fit within conformity, meticulously designing both her home and self with indistinguishable pastels. Prior to the dominance of her illness, the most emotion Carol exudes occurs only when this image is besmirched– a black couch is delivered to her home instead of teal. Carol is obsessed with the curation of her home, labeling herself a homemaker in what seems to be a quick rectification of almost self-identifying as a housewife. The suburban home is meant to serve as a safe seclusionary separation from antagonistic outside forces, but as Carol’s environmental illness worsens, the once-familiar space contributes to Carol’s forceful seclusion from the modern world.

Carol seeks refuge at the Wrenwood healing center where her experience of environmental illness is validated and empathized with. Wrenwood is the only place where Carol’s suffering is corroborated as visible. Author Roddey Reid examines the “male-dominated knowledges” with whom Carol first attempted to convey her experience: her husband, the family doctor, a psychiatrist, and allergist. None are able to determine or recognize the reality of Carol’s condition. Even as the allergist serves as the first medicinal professional to verify the presence of sickness, he observes her with an air of complete emotional detachment.

Wrenwood is led by the manipulation of AIDS patient Peter Dunning. Presenting himself with charm and a desirable appearance of health and positivity, he promotes the program with lessons of New Age thinking and Deep Ecology. These concepts encourage the decentralization of human priority, suggesting that personal healing can be achieved through reconnecting with the natural world. Haynes critiques the implications of these ideologies prominent among the terminally ill, used as tools “to control the sense of meaninglessness that grips [patients’] lives. But within that control these doctrines of inner health assign to their sufferers … ultimate responsibility. … This is how new age thought ultimately works in favor of the system while claiming to transcend it” (Seymour 27). Haynes challenges the direction of blame promoted by such self-healing motives, suggesting that such rhetoric ignores the impact of systematic outside forces.

Peter’s sermon-like speeches celebrate disdain for drug use and promiscuity, classifying self-hatred as the cause of all human failures. In a harrowing scene, Peter convinces patients of Wrenwood that they are the only cause of their suffering, whether referring to their physical health or their past experiences of trauma. Author Roy Grundmann suggests Peter’s projections derive from internalized feelings of homophobia, guilt, and shame as a result of his AIDS diagnosis. Peter blames his illness on being gay, convincing himself and others that their poor health is serving as punishment for their self-inflicted failures.

Carol seems powerless against these patriarchal authorities, but when given the opportunity to defend herself, express empowerment, or undergo the growth of self-affirmation; she fails to do so. Even as she is absorbed by the healing rhetoric of Wrenwood, Carol never reaches a point of triumph that can be felt by viewers. Grundman contrasts this narrative to those found in the melodramas of Douglas Sirk. He states that Sirk’s protagonists “achieve substance through the integrity of their feelings and desires,” (Grundman 25). Haynes instead creates a protagonist that seemingly lacks substance or critical consciousness altogether. Carol is a mold pliable to the forces and structure of her environment. Towards the film’s conclusion she appears to accept the state of her illness, feeling comfort in seclusion from the life she once worked to maintain. Within her isolatory “safe house,” Carol is even more invisible than she seemed in her suburban surroundings. The sense of indistinguishability felt in her overly pastel home is surpassed by a monochromatic wash of a dry, sickly gray.

The melodramatic form is the perfect mode in which to tell this story, as the genre is known for creating parallels between fictional domestic tribulations and real-world social conflict. Safe compounds this notion by presenting a meta question of conflict: are our sufferings the fault of our own perspectives, actions and emotions? Or are we in the hands of political, social, and environmental forces? Essentially, do our conflicts derive from the domestic, or the outside? Haynes refuses to provide an explanation, perhaps suggesting viewers realize their discomfort with uncertainty. Carol escapes the influence of society, and seemingly perceives herself as being in a better, healthier position. Viewers, however, have difficulty sharing her sense of triumph at the sight of her sunken, lesion-covered face.

Works Cited

Grundmann, Roy. “HOW CLEAN WAS MY VALLEY: Todd Haynes's Safe.” Cinéaste, vol. 21, no. 4, 1995, pp. 22–25. This article provided a contextual political analysis of both the late 1980s when the film takes place and the mid 1990s in which the film was made. I particularly found interest in Grundmann’s comparisons of Carol’s domestic lifestyle and the anti-debauchery teachings of Peter to ideologies promoted during the Reagan administration onto upper-middle-class households. These ideologies centered around ideas of control and the othering/shaming of “bad” outside influences. 

Reid, Roddey. “Unsafe at Any Distance: Todd Haynes' Visual Culture of Health and Risk. for Steven Shaviro.” Film Quarterly, vol. 51, no. 3, 1998, pp. 32–44., https://doi.org/10.2307/1213600. This article examined Haynes’s use of formal elements to challenge viewer identification with Carol. Reid also argued that Safe plays with the human desire to alleviate fear of illness with knowledge and scientific definitions. I thought this article was especially enlightening with the contemporary context of COVID-19, and if afforded more space I would have enjoyed analyzing the relevance of Safe to the public response of COVID-19.

Seymour, Nicole. “‘It’s Just Not Turning up’: Cinematic Vision and Environmental Justice in Todd Haynes’s Safe.” Cinema Journal, vol. 50, no. 4, 2011, pp. 26–47., https://doi.org/10.1353/cj.2011.0056. This article argued that Safe puts viewers in the position of those experiencing environmental injustice. Seymour includes considerations of racial and socio-economic intersections that are undeniably relevant to such adversities. This benefited the essay with analysis of the viewing experience of Safe, along with examinations of the symbolic significance of the idea of domestic (the house) versus the environment (outside/nature). This article also includes valuable analysis of the presence of labor and service workers in Haynes’s films.

"The Sixth Sense"- An incredible, frightening and even heartfelt thriller. One of the finest horror films of the 90's. Perhaps even of all time.

At the time of its release, M. Night Shyamalan's tense and arresting thriller "The Sixth Sense" was something of a cultural phenomena. A revelation in the world of horror, and one of those few films that emerges every so often to remind us of just how invaluable and under-appreciate this genre is. And of the great heights it is capable of in the hands of great storytellers and master filmmakers. While Shyamalan's career has gone through its highs and lows in the ensuing years, one fact has remained constant in the near-twenty years that have passed since this 1999 release: No matter what, "The Sixth Sense" is still looked upon with nothing but admiration and adoration from critics and filmgoers alike, being held in the highest regards. Some even consider it a modern classic, set to go down among the other greats like Carpenter's "The Thing" or Wise's "The Haunting." And I am very much in agreement with this. It's a beautiful and meticulously crafted experience that not only delivers the thrills and chills like any good ghost story should... but it also delivers plenty of heart and very human drama that keeps you wholly invested. Bruce Willis stars as Child Psychologist Malcolm Crowe, a man haunted by a home invasion one year prior in which a troubled former patient shot him and then committed suicide in front of he and his wife. With a growing rift in his marriage due to the trauma, Crowe seeks redemption by helping a young boy with similar emotional problems to his deceased patient- Cole Sear, as portrayed brilliantly by Haley Joel Osment. However, Crowe doesn't realize the severity of young Cole's plight, and soon comes to learn a startling truth... Cole can see the ghosts of people with unfinished business. Malcolm realizes he must help Cole to try and control this unique gift... this terrible curse... and to try and figure out what the spirits haunting young Cole want. Shyamalan crafts his tale and directs the film with a certain sensitivity and tact that works wonders for conveying the themes and scares alike. His script is always intense but with just enough levity to allow the audience to catch their breath between the more frightening of scenes, and he expertly handles his characters with a deliberation that I admired. Every single character present has their purpose in the story, and all are handled exceptionally well. Especially our two leads, who both go through very well thought-out arcs that realistically develop and change who they are throughout the narrative. There's also a surprising among of heart present in the script that will draw you in with its identifiable moments of human drama. As much as it is about haunting spirits tormenting a young child, it's also a film about a man trying to fix his own life and marriage, and about a young boy dealing with his unique gifts while trying to maintain a connection with his troubled mother. There's some very powerful work done in terms of these sequences and they help to elevate the film as a whole. The visual direction is just wonderful. Say what you will about his later, shoddier work, but Shyamalan knows how to convey a scene with keen use of lighting, composition and movement. His recurring motifs, such as the color red or the use of lowered temperatures are really good indicators that something terrible is about to happen, and they will instantly put you on edge as an audience member, with the hair on the back of your neck standing straight up. Beyond that, the cast is just magnificent and are a key piece of the puzzle as to what makes the film such an immense achievement. Willis, often known for his gruff tough-guy roles, is given the role of a lifetime as the troubled Malcolm, and is able to stretch his acting chops in a way that many of his more recent works cannot touch. It's a film that reminds us of just how much we love Willis as an actor first and foremost, and he plays it to perfection. Osment, now known more for his work in quirky B-movies and voice- over roles, excels as one of the finest child actors I've ever seen in his defining part. He gives Cole such a sense of pathos and maturity that is far beyond his years. He also nails the scenes of a frightened child, terrified of the ghostly figures that are following him. And Toni Collette, who I adored in her incredible series "United States of Tara" makes for a wonderful supporting role as Cole's mother, Lynn. A troubled person trying to hold herself together for the sake of her child. In the end, "The Sixth Sense" excels thanks to these wonderful contributing factors, and emerges as a flawless and frightening excursion into the other side. It's scares will keep you up at night, afraid of what may be lurking in the dark around you. And it's very human and emotional drama will touch you in a way many other recent horror films simply cannot compare to. It's an undeniable modern classic, and not only is it one of the best horror releases of the 1990's... it may be one of the greatest horror films ever made. And for this reason, it easily and skillfully earns a perfect 10 out of 10.

The Romantic deluge followed at the beginning of the nineteenth century. There appeared at this point a group of great expressionists, men of resourcefulness and enormous activity, whose influence on literature has been second, perhaps, only to that of the Elizabethans. They sounded with greater insistence the ideas of the pre-Romantics which we have just reviewed. Foremost was the impulse of revolt against conventions and institutions. Whether it was Wordsworth cultivating the speech of ordinary men and endeavoring to read "the common face of nature," or Byron declaiming upon the ruins of Rome, or Shelley denouncing "bloody faith, the foulest birth of time," a theme of emancipation from the sentiments and forms which had brought in European culture persists. This motif was likely to be accompanied by intensive explorations of the individual consciousness, with self-laceration and self-pity. The sensitive individual turned inward and there discovered an appalling well of melancholy and unhappiness, which was attributed to the perverse circumstances of the world. Thus we behold in spectacular form the new familiar act of withdrawal as the individual fosters self-awareness. The young romantic Goethe in Werther, and Shelley crying, "I fall upon the thorns of life, I bleed," continue the indulgence in egocentric sensibility. During the whole of the century this flood rushed on, but it later assumed expressions which are to be grasped, it seems, only upon the level of complex significance. Some of the Romantics, despite the delight in disorder dictated by Romanticism, turned into the most meticulous craftsmen in literary history. This anomalous development was owing to a realization by the more perceptive that raw experience, exaggerated sensibility, and large moral and political enthusiasms alone mean artistic bankruptcy. Some therefore sought in form a means of salvation, but it was with a Romantic’s interest in form. The French have a phrase which seems to describe this exactly. It was a maladie du scrupule which drove Flaubert and the De Goncourts and, later, Henry James and numerous poets to suppose that unremitting attention to form would save the subject matter of Romantic art. Hence we have prodigies of faithful observation, Ie mot juste, and a fineness of texture in poetry; but somehow another fragmentation has taken place. Form has become obsessive. Confinement to form is one means of evading those heavier responsibilities which must be related to one's total awareness or his view of man's destiny. Concurrent with this attempt to escape bankruptcy through brilliance of form was another which sought to escape it through imagination. In one respect, the Romanticists who became Symbolists were not faithful to the premises of the movement; in another, they were conspicuously faithful. Symbolism is a reaction against the deification of the material world, because the symbol is always a sign of things that are not compresent in time and space. The symbol by its nature transcends and thus points to the world beyond the world. So the Symbolists were reaching for the outer reality, which to the simple early Romantics was but a vague presence. They found that experience did not interpret itself, and they were driven to difficult feats of intellection and representation in their effort to convey the significant reality. But the Symbolists retained a Romantic's interest in the intimate and in the individual, with the result that their symbols came not from some ideology universally accepted but from experiences almost private. Possibly the libertarian mood survives here: the artist still wishes to have free range and to soar, and a normal medium of communication would hold him too close to the social context. We must certainly acknowledge that it was the vulgarization of language through journalism and kindred activities which impelled many literary artists, including some workers in prose, to seek out fresh media. One may honor them for their heroism, even though the result was not from all points of view fortunate. At any rate, writers increasingly employed the fleeting metaphor and the faintly evocative symbol. And, while it is unjust to talk, as some have, of "the cult of unintelligibility" and of “poets talking to themselves," it seems fair to say that the Symbolists put themselves under very special handicaps and limitations, which grievously widened the gap between poetry and the public.
