	Ashley Revell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ashley Revell (born 1972) is a London resident famous for selling all his possessions (including all his clothes) and gambling USD135,500 on a single spin of a roulette wheel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
		Revell won his bet (on "Red"; the result was "7 Red") and left with double his money.
		An episode of the TV series Las Vegas entitled One Nation, Under Surveillance, first broadcast 2005-03-14 had a character and event loosely based on Ashley Revell.

		Revell said he had planned to have a friend videotape his bet-it-all spin, but Britain's Sky One television decided it was worth a short reality series, called "Double or Nothing."

	Lara Croft - Tomb Raider
		The same can be said of Revell's score, which is a lacklustre and underdeveloped affair which fails to generate any kind of action or tension as the score progresses.
		Combined with nightmarish Transatlantic logistics with Revell in LA and Rick Wentworth and the gang working from faxes and e-mails in London, it is quite possible that Tomb Raider proved more of a challenge than any other score the New Zealander has written.
		Where Revell does come into his own are during the action sequences, into which he injects a great deal of energy and pace with loud, brash of electronics bolstering the orchestra.
