What would Rock Raiders have been like if Brian Tyler (the man behind the music of LEGO Universe) had composed the soundtrack to the game's intro cutscene?

Although Brian Tyler composed "A Powerful Darkness on the Horizon" for a wrecked pirate jail invaded by zombie admirals and a maddened monkey with a pistol during a thunderstorm, it's not as fitting as Terry Devine-King's "The Search Continues", which was used for Brig Rock in beta testing. However, "A Powerful Darkness on the Horizon" does successfully capture that feeling of "Oh crap, we're being sucked into a black hole!", so it was also used for the Venture Explorer world. As the Venture Explorer and LMS Explorer bear some similarities to each other (such as... um... they both have "Explorer" in their name!), I decided to, just for laughs, pair up the extended Rock Raiders introduction cutscene with segments of Brian Tyler's "A Powerful Darkness on the Horizon".

It worked.

Okay, it's not nearly as fitting as the original Rock Raiders introduction cutscene soundtrack (I'm sorry, Brian Tyler, but that music is just pure CLASSIC!), but perhaps due to the similarities between the LMS Explorer and the Venture Explorer, the music for one works for the other.

Still, what would I give to have the isolated soundtrack to the original Rock Raiders intro cutscene...?
