Gordon's Journey to London - Remastered

A big remaster of the old Gordon remix I did years back, this time I decided to make a 'S3' styled mix, using both the synth and 'orchestra' kits.
This is one episode that would have been epic to see in the show, I wonder if they really would've made a Kings Cross set (with a platform 9 3/4 in the back even though Harry Potter wasn't a thing then but let me dream).

Hey everyone. Before you decide to skip this comment as it usually gets brushed over, let’s be honest here. While I know a lot of you enjoy the recreations of O'Donnell and Campbell's legendary work for TTTE. I'd also really appreciate if you'd take a look at music I've written too. I'm looking to experiment and expand as a composer to test my range and ideas, the Thomas stuff is nostalgic and everything but the original works is what I really enjoy to work with. Still on the 80s wave at the moment as there are some sounds I still want to tackle. Here’s a playlist of all the 80s and 90s stuff. I’ve arranged them similar to how they are on SoundCloud. Enjoy! kzbin.info/aero/PLMtRClgemu18WeuhMuxWRmeKj3NlT3-FP

I love your music, keep it up!

[@ItsCarlos563]

Your original works are as good as your Thomas recreations.

[@jjbackon]

Where did you get the London pic frok

[@AndrewHager02]

All your original music is just as brilliant as your O’Donnell and Campbell recreations, if not moreso!! Whichever ones you upload, I love hearing them all!!

[@sudrianproductions5484]

love your music keep it that way

[@ItsCarlos563]

A huge improvement over the original you made years ago. This definitely should be heard in "Gordon Goes Foreign", had it not being cancelled.

[@SudrianFirelighter]

The TUGS brass. The jupiter synths. EVERYTHING about this is so right. Absolutely magnificent job, Sudrian. This is a massive glow up compared to the original one and I think this is a great example to show how much you've improved since you started.

[@Werdna-ob2ul]

Does anyone know where you can get the TUGs Instruments?

[@NikoBellicDigital]

I've been meaning to know too! I've been wanting to make an extended version of Spencer's S7 theme for a while now.@@Werdna-ob2ul

​@SleepySudrian Really?

[@Werdna-ob2ul]

@SleepySudriancool, how did you go about acquiring it? Or are you able to share them?

[@callum110597]

Wow, super impressive! This would really suit the story "Gordon Goes Foreign" if it was adapted. Just would be incredible to hear that music playing while Gordon is travelling to London! 😄

[@ShiningTimeStudios475]

Maybe if the cgi Era comes back, they can finally adapt this story with an orchestrated version of this theme! 😊

[@HuskerTWolf]

I always pictured Gordon Goes Foreign as a S3 episode, and you've nailed it once again!

[@toainsully]

All that's missing is to put "Percy takes the Plunge" in S3 (before said episode) and you've got the Eight Famous Engines arc

[@smasherjosh5000]

​@@toainsullywhat about Thomas and the Special Letter?

[@BimbelyGimbly]

Holy shit this is incredible! It's like I'm listening to the old version for the first time all over again! Splendid job as usual!

[@TheWorksDiesel]

I was actually thinking about this theme the other day and about it getting a redone as well. Anyway this is such an amazing remaster of an already great theme. Fantastic job Ty.

[@EmperorVegeta0204]

[@Juanthemtg]

What a delightful surprise. I can feel this working for a royal visit for Gordon when he visits England. Well done on this spectacular improvement 👍.

[@UsefulEngine11]

This is awesome! While I do prefer the older version to some extent because of the season 2 feel it has this is just as epic. Keep up the good work Ty.

[@project6975]

Wow Ty, huge improvement! I think this is your best remaster yet! All the different Proteus layers mixed with the J6 ones sound so good here. You did a wonderful job with the mix here.

[@sambee8982]

They said that building the set for London Paddington was prohibitively expensive, but they could've re-used the Knapford Station set and redress it.

This is splendid!

[@shanthegamer21]

“London’s all wrong. They’ve changed it. It’s not King’s Cross anymore; it’s St. Pancras.” -Gordon the Express Engine who was disappointed about his trip to London.

[@shanthegamer21]

@ethanschmid4104 “Get over it, Duck.” moaned Gordon in dismay. “London is St. Pancras. I’ve been there already.”

[@shanthegamer21]

@ethanschmid4104 Okay, seriously. It’s out of character for Duck to act snobbish and ignorant. HiT Entertainment did the same mistake with Edward and Emily.

Well done as usual, Ty! This is a vast improvement over the previous version you did years ago. It would've been fitting for Gordon's journey to London had Gordon Goes Foreign been adapted.

A splendid remake of Gordon's theme, and an improvement on the version made years ago. I think this would also suit the scene in 'Gordon Proves His Point' in which he has the run of his life, or, indeed, any epic Gordon moment. Well done indeed!

[@CEC1988]

I really like how the beginning sounds a bit like Harold's theme! It makes it all the more grand in my opinion!

[@ShiningTimeStudios475]

The fat controller and many of the passengers came to see Gordon off! The fat controller brought the brass band to celebrate Gordon's first run to London! The fat controller: Have fun, Gordon, and be a credit to our railway. Show those mainland engines what you can do! Gordon's driver and fireman: We'll show them what the fat controller's engines can do. Right, Gordon? Gordon: Indeed, boys. COME ON! LET'S GO! The brass band played a special medley for Gordon as he departed from the Station after hearing the guard's whistle. And all the engines and passengers cheered for Gordon. Especially the ones in the coaches that Gordon was pulling.

Brilliant job, my friend!

[@ShiningTimeStudios475]

He backed down on the coaches ready to start. The guard blew hiw whistle, but Gordon felt that it was ages. " COME ON!", he replied to the coaches. COME ON, COME ON, COME ON, COME ON! WE'RE GOING TO TOWN, WE'RE GOING TO TOWN SANG THE COACHES!" Slowly at first then faster and faster. Gordon knew London was very far. " Never mind" he said. " I like a long run to stretch my wheels. Gordon was happy when London came into sight. 😊 I can hear Ringo and George narrating in my head and this playing while they were recording. 😊😂

If Gordon Goes Foreign wasn’t cancelled in series 2, then this theme would play and would be the first theme to have Proteus 2 sound fonts or orchestral arrangement in 1986

[@SudrianAfro]

Tbh, they didn’t buy those kits til the 90s. Chances it would’ve been purely synth or usage of the Prophet 2000 maybe.
