Thank you for replying! Oh dear, this is going to be a tough one…

How much of a change have you noticed in the approach, skills required and nature of the game music industry since you began? Is it true that anyone wanting to get into this industry has to be a programmer and a musician!? Just like working with an orchestra for the first time on Headhunter was a massive experience, is there anything else you feel you want to do or acheive? And...sorry, I have to...what is the best way to get into a job writing music for games? Keep up the always excellent work, it's always a joy to listen to your music in and out of games. You remind us Sega fans of the good 'ol days! :) Hello good sir!

Lets say for some crazy reason all the Sega characters got into a tennis match. Humour me here, I'm going somewhere with this... Sonic plays Eggman, and it starts to rain, ad so play is stopped till the weather clears. Who would come out and sing a song to keep the crowds happy? Lets assume for this that Cliff Richards is unavailable on this day of course. So Rich, which classic Sega character would keep the massed crowds happy with thier singing voice, and what would they sing? S0L Hello!

But if SEGA were to make games based on Classic Sonic the hedgehog, would you offer to do the music for it? Thanks, love the work, Sonic 3D for the PC was a cornerstone in my childhood. Mark. Hey Richard,
I remember you did the legendary music for the Saturn & PC versions of Sonic 3D,

I would love to own the Sonic R soundtrack, but it is incredibly rare (the only copy I have seen is over £40 on eBay!), and I don't think there was ever an official MSR OST. My favourite songs you've ever done are Turn Back Time from Sonic R and I Can Still Believe from MSR. Also, does there seem to be some special relation with you and the website UK Resistance? They seem to love you very much! Hi Richard,
