A Tribute To Lara Croft is a compilation album released solely in Germany in December 1997 by BMG Ariola. [1] Across two discs it features songs from many electronic artists, some of them sampling sound effects and music heard in Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider II. Three of Nathan McCree's original compositions for the latter are utilised here as interludes in between tracks.
Disc one of the album contains a demo of The Great Wall and Tomb Raider II desktop accessories. This was the first time the desktop accessories had been released. They would not be released more widely until the advent of Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business in 1998.
A 12" vinyl of the same name was also released, featuring the tracks by Megashira and Max Rebo Band that appeared on the album.
Marketing-wise, the album was promoted alongside Tomb Raider II in video games magazines and also had a short television advertisement produced, featuring a computer-generated Lara Croft presenting the artists included on the album.
