I mean, except my partner would be CS2x who is keen on soundtracks for films and stuff already. So I would supply my guitar / acoustic instruments skills.

 I mean, even Phil cannot do his stuff like he did back then. And I never heard of anybody else coming close to the original soundtracks.*You'd need a super team with Philippe Vachey, Joe Hisaishi and Christophe Heral all working together with a massive budget and MAYBE... JUST MAYBE... you might get close.

Hisaishi is a nice choice
 I'd love Ibrahim Maalouf on that team as well, I can't pinpoint out why, but some of his music feel very vaguely LBAish to me.

I think if let's say, we get cs2x to produce it, a great composer from an actual school of music / university, and someone like me or sgk to oversight it, we can create magic.
But somehow all individual efforts fall flat somewhere along the way

Polaris: uuh... that just sounded very arab , lol, I mean we do have some arab tints in LBA's theme here and there but that's minimal... nothing against the music itself though it is good

Now listening to the whole thing carefully I'd say it is definitely derived from Spain's FLAMENCO and Argentina's TANGO. EDIT: And Cuba's SALSA

Yeah, there is a part in the middle that sounds very South American. I associated it with Bossa Nova, but I'm not very knowledgeable about the music genres there.

Not only that, but ADELINE SOFTWARE also created their engine and tools from scratch! Don't these guys rule or what????!!
And their 3D masterpieces were unlike those more popular at the time such as Wolfenstein or Quake, which had rough/brute models with bitmap mapping to give them their details. Instead, Adeline's innovative use of polygons (that had spawned in the days of the aesthetically timeless title Alone In The Dark of Fred and Didier's former company Infogrames) were so cleverly designed, accurately modelled and beautifully delicately shaped that all they had to do was colour the polygons with different colours, and voilà, that was the recipe for the imagination of millions of kids to effectively come alive. LOVE YOU, ADELINE SOFTWARE INTERNATIONAL

when I was a child it was among the best games in the whole universe (honestly), not sure what impressions it would give to an 30-ish adult with decades of videogame technology advances later, though

I installed it and started it up once, but didn't actually play. I really should though.
Well now I know what I'm doing tomorrow

I've never played Time Commando but my concern with playing it now is that the engine is so outdated I'd be unable to separate it from when it came out. That makes me sound like a snob I suppose, but I have to say that nostalgia covers a lot of flaws, and if you didn't have the opportunity to play games from that era when they came out (and how they had evolved from older generations of games) it leaves only contemporary objectivity.
It makes me think of the wall-hit penalty from LBA 1. I get what they were going for, but that was incredibly annoying and one of the best things about LBAWin was removing that. The tank controls overall, though, are very outdated and my last playthrough left me wanting for something more modern. That isn't to say some games don't withstand the test of time, but modern conveniences have made playing more pleasurable, in my opinion.

What's so wrong with tank controls?
What do people suggest instead?

Nowadays, I think screen-related movement ?
Tank controls feel awkward on a joystick, no complaints on keyboard though.

Oh

I don't know exactly how it works (more complex animation and physics I guess), but the modern way of controls, that I think were introduced by Super Mario 64, but that also work in any kind of modern game, also with a keyboard, allow you to turn in a very small circle, so that you not like in the LBA games have to rotate around your axis before you start walking in one direction. Of course modern games are nicer there, but I'm still pretty happy with how the LBA games play nowadays. Even with that inconvenience it's still pretty fast-paced compared to other old games, especially those with turn-based fighting.

Pretty much gamepad controls. Most modern games - even isometric ones - have the concept of screen-related movement keyed to a joystick or wasd. The tank controls of LBA are a product of their time but considering that is what the Lara Croft series have been known for, the modern Tomb Raider titles have abandoned the tank controls in favor of a more responsive and streamlined experience.
