An interesting addition from Mr. Hudson - our first from the Rainbow Six series and a bit of an oddball in that it started life as an original but ended up as a ReMix. Jared writes:

"Ya know? I thought about sending this for awhile. I meant it to be an original, but I was so inspired by a song from Rogue Spear, it ended up almost sounding more like a remix than an original. It’s VERY close to a song in the game. SIDE NOTE: You’ll laugh when you read this, but that wind ambience in the background is from my Playstation 2’s startup screen hooked into my Line In while I recorded the song. Kinda gave it a more broad effect."

I'm glad he submitted it, and comparatively think it sounds close enough to qualify as an arrangement. Definitely the sort of piece where if it was presented as an original that might raise a few eyebrows when contrasted with the "source material". This is more laid-back, cinematic, dramatic work, with the trademark military snare work and reverb-drenched pizzicato. Subtle but good. For over four minutes, it does repeat enough to attain a self-similar, "BGM" feel to it, but the mix is there and the touches are all light & delicate and in the right places to create a specific mood - a combination of tension, suspense, duty, honor, and a lot of other cliched but accurate nouns :) Nice PS2-generated wind effects too - who would have guessed! I can definitely see playing the original game or a similarly-themed tactical espionage game (MGS series) listening to this - captures the whole "sneaking around with cool spy shit waiting to shoot someone in the back without being heard" thing quite well, methinks.
