To celebrate the upcoming release of Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, we've created a music playlist inspired by the Angel of Darkness-era Lara Croft. Lara's musical preferences were detailed in her official Core Design biography:

“Brought up to appreciate classical music but having been a guest on U2's Popmart tour, has since become a fan of their music. Introduced to the sounds of Nine Inch Nails by her Auntie and considers this 'good easy listening'. Finds trance music, in general, good training.” 

Using classic era Lara's biography, as well as the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life (2003) films as inspiration, this music playlist focuses on showcasing music from that time period up to and including 2003, with one exception - see if you can spot this Easter egg! The tracks were selected not only to reflect what might be found in Lara's own playlist but also to highlight the musical influences of the era, spanning genres from Big Beat to Trance whilst also featuring iconic British bands.
