The Gone Jackals - Legacy - ILM Video 1995 video free download

Here's the video of "Legacy" we made at LucasArts' Industrial Light and Magic Studios in San Rafael, California to support their "Full Throttle" PC game.

For clarity, all of the music that comprised the full R&R Soundtrack was written and recorded for our "Bone To Pick" CD before we were contacted by LucasArts. We were adding the final touches to "Bone To Pick" at Sound and Light Studios in San Francisco when Studio Owner/Friend/Chief Engineer Michael Molenda, currently Editor of "Guitar Player Magazine", sent over some of our tracks to Lucas' Gaming Music Director Peter McConnell who was looking for music for "Full Throttle". Peter liked what he heard so, long story short, we began working triple overtime to get this music added to the game with a rapidly approaching release date looming. LucasArts had planned to use an in-house soundtrack, but it tested poorly, putting them way behind schedule.

Being that we were pressed for time, I worked primarily from story boards and selected each piece of GJ music for each scene in the game which required "biker" music. I re-mixed the entire CD for optimum sound knowing this game would be heard primarily through PC speakers with only a small number of available bytes for music. Peter created the ambient music and handled all technical aspects of applying this work to the game itself. Peter's belief in the band is tangible in his introduction.

Of note here: Good buddy Mark Olier appears on guitar in this video (Judd Austin is on the recording). Mark also performed handily at several high profile shows with us as Judd had dropped out of the group, grappling with domestic issues. Judd later re-joined the band and we recorded our third CD "Blue Pyramid" together.

This music was awarded "Soundtrack of the Year" by PC Gamer Magazine, the most important and widely circulated outlet of its kind, over work by Aerosmith, Metallica and NIN during that same year.
