Ellen Meijers' music has been a huge influence on the music I compose to this day. The minimalist charm and focus on percussion and world instruments is so incredibly iconic of Oddworld. I'd almost say you should re-use the old soundtracks, as they're so unique, but I know their quality isn't quite up to snuff with today's standards for game scores. If you remake it, don't do what they did with Tommy Tallarico's score for Earthworm Jim HD. Take the opportunity to recreate those bizarre nuances that made the original soundtrack so utterly amazing.

If you have the possebility please don't change the style of the first two Abe ingame soundtrack. Maybe it's the most time only 3 or 4 notes which changes in a litte synthesiszer and some birds are tweeting but this minimalism fits perfectly to the ambiance of this great environments.

Agreed with these, AO's soundtrack is incredibly integral to its atmosphere.
