I don’t remember the Mortal Kombat single. I do remember the film though. Oh yes. It was terrible.

I got Mortal Kombat versus DC Universe for WOBS, so now I spend my free time, rather unproductively trying to bash the crap out of Catwoman using Sub Zero.

ALW (listed as full composer, not arranger): 47.5%
Nigel Wright (who is ONLY listed as an arranger): 25%
(rest of % going to publishers)

It’s also got a valid arrangement grading tho, so at some point someone must have decided ‘this is different enough from Korobeiniki to count’.

i: the tetris themetune is the russian national anthem (not written by a. lloyd webber)
ii: which other bit of the music did he “write”? did he programme the drum machine?
iii: i find it hard to believe it was “written” before it was performed (as per the bulk of his music — he is a composer after all; he puts little dots on lines); but in credit parlance “co-written by” can also (since some landmark decision back in the 20s in the US, i think) include ‘performed on”… so did he play some of it during the recording? when and where did he get his techno chops?
iv: … or is this “written by” the way some of chuck berry’s hits turned out (to berry’s disgruntled astonishment) to be “co-written” by the DJs who broke them? (ie as hit-enablers and brokers to the labels, they helped themselves to the royalties, unasked)
v: or is it like “robert stigwood’s sergeant peppers lonely harts club band”, viz he is in some sense the impresario of the project, his name on the marquee bcz that’s what impresarios like (again if so i want to know how he got involved; it seems so weirdly outside his territory)
