    Developed from Sandy White's soundtrack from his Spectrum game "Zombie Zombie". The track contains some variations on the main theme, a diversion into some ideas using the "10 Green Bottles" tune and finally a little piece of fairly chilled guitar-work again based on the main theme.
    Credits: Based on an original piece by Sandy White and a traditional song. Mp3 encoding by Lame. Everything else by Rob Brooks.

    Story Behind the Song
    Inspired by the original spectrum tunes and by Barry Leitch's "remix" I decided that the piano arpeggios would provide a nice bedrock to carry some experimentation of my own. In the original game the main theme was played when the player "died" and was welcomed to the world of the undead. I thought this was rather odd because it's such a nice tune. The sinister parts were kept for the "bottles" middle section which climax in a choir and church organ passage ( difficult to make sound authentic ) because of it's horror connotations. Once this was out of the way I figured that maybe Sandy had known something more about the life of the undead and that maybe it was acually quite nice after all. This is illustrated in the final section where we find our hero settling down for a bit of a "condor moment" as he begins to appreciate the finer points of his existance as a rotting corpse. Lovely! :)
