LEGO Universe Soundtrack: Bouzouki In The Hood [Original]
Originally composed by Mark Johns and Andy Ward for Folk 1231. "Celtic/folk mixed with hip hop groove. Features bazouki, mandolin & guitar."
On March 10, 2010, I received an invitation to participate in the beta testing of LEGO Universe. Now, ten years later, I am paying tribute to that universe by uploading songs from its beta placeholder soundtrack and promotional materials. Most of these songs are sourced from the Audio Network Limited. While I can't upload everything, I will be uploading as much as I was able to find.
Hey, wait a minute... this isn't how the song sounded in beta testing! That's correct. This is the original version of the song, complete with a hip hop groove. I guess that additional percussion was a little too funky for what the developers wanted, so they used the more acoustic mix for the Cannon Cove Shooting Gallery.
