Police Quest III - Highway Pursuit

Police Quest III - Highway Pursuit (In Pursuit)
You can listen to and download my version of the music here:
Police Quest III - Highway Pursuit

Original Composer: Jan Hammer

Yes, THE Jan Hammer.. as in the composer behind the original Miami Vice television show in the 80s!

Produced by Jim Walls for Sierra and originally released in 1991.  More about this game can be read HERE

Wow, Jan Hammer had some REALLY strong action themes in this score.  The "In Pursuit" cue has an amazingly epic bassline which I've ReOrchestrated for an aggressive string section and have overlayed even more aggressive brass adding to the aggressiveness.  How aggressive.  Anyway, if you're a fan of Mark Mancinas Bad Boys score or any number of Trevor Rabin scores you're bound to really dig this one!

There are the usual embellishments throughout, but this new version still retains the main vibe of the original while totally ditching the "happier" motif that comes in later on in the original.

For reference, you can hear a version of this theme as performed on the Roland MT - 32 here:
