The musical score to Alice video game is as twisted in reality as the gameworld is.  Composed by Chris Vrenna, is very difficult to describe, child lullaby like dittles played on antique children’s music toys intertwine with dark and sinister choir, strings and samples that gives you an altogether terrifying listening experience. I’m very happy because I just bought it from eBay and I suggest you do the same

Here’s a small interview of Chris Vrenna explaining how he created American McGee’s Alice music.

Since we are at the Mark Morgan chapter, here’s a heart moving immersing soundtrack from an epic game, imho one of the greatest games ever created. The music was ripped by Grawl and contains as bonus the music from the ingame movies.

Van Buren was the codename given to Fallout 3, a game that was being developed by Black Isle Studios before the parent company, Interplay Entertainment, laid off the PC development team, effectively cancelling the game. Prior to its cancellation, Van Buren was set to carry on the Fallout series as the sequel to Fallout 2.

Last year, the tech-demo of the game was leaked onto the internet, the demo contained 3 dark ambient music tracks, very much in the Fallout spirit although I still don’t know who the composer is…

With the pre-order of Fallout 3 from GameStop.com, fans were given a 5-track disc with “featured selections” from the game soundtrack which includes three songs licensed from the 1940’s, as well as two tracks from the game’s composer, Inon Zur.

I’ve also included as a bonus track the music fragment from the first Fallout 3 trailer.

The sequel to the best RPG ever. The tracks from 1 to 9 are new and the Fallout 1 tracks re-used in Fallout 2 are from 10 to 18. Brilliant soundtrack, perfect for dark post-apocalyptic world of the game.

Here it is the first Fallout soundtrack, really memorable music that in many ways is timeless. This is one of the greatest soundtracks ever, dark ambient and full of atmosphere.

I’ve managed to create a new forum, in English this time. Its not much, I’ll try to improve it… but if anyone is interested in chatting on anything related to games music, than join the forums over HERE.

EDIT: Also if anyone knows where can I buy from the following soundtracks, many thanks!

This is 30 minutes of music from Thief 2X: Shadows of the Metal Age (the unnoficial addon for Thief 2), compiled by Gonchong.  The tracks are a mix of cutscene audio, ambient tracks from missions, and music that was used in the trailer and in the cutscenes.

I hope someone will mix the soundtrack for the Thief 2 soon.

From team members of chrono.ocremix.org, this is easily one of the most beautiful remixes ever to grace the gaming scene.

Chrono Symphonic is a project a long time in the making. Starting from the autumn days of October 2004, and ending in the wintry days of January 2006, it’s been a labor of love for everybody that has been a part of it. Initially designed to be the soundtrack for the long-desired Chrono Trigger movie (no, the movie doesn’t exist and probably never will), it encompasses 18 different artists’ takes on the way such a film should sound in an orchestral setting, and many more on how it should look and feel. Never has such an abundance of talent been thrown into such a powerful calling, and never has the game Chrono Trigger, which many of us grew up playing, known so much love.

Basically, this is a project aimed at re-imagining Chrono Trigger the way it was imagined in its creators’ heads…a tale of love, and triumph, and struggling for the good of others while leaving your own inhibitions and fears behind. It’s the tale you’ve waited forever to hear…and now, you’re able to hear it.

This beautiful 2 CD soundtrack along with the covers can be downloaded directly from OC Remix, but also from this alternative link.

 Exciting news for Thief music lovers or fans of Eric Brosius’s work. The Thief: The Dark Project & Gold “Official” Soundtrack by Child of Karras a.k.a. JayB has been finished.
This 110MB file contains our soundtrack for Thief: The Dark Project Gold. It is app. 81 minutes long and so barely fits on a CD. It contains tracks for all the missions plus a few tracks from the cutscenes where there was interesting music and we were able to extract Garrett’s voice from.

Since Hexen 1 was already here and the sequel was missing… here it is, enjoy the midis.

Music is very fit to the game - dark dungeons, stone passages, gargoyles and crossbow in the hands. Many tunes are both dark and fast-paced - combination I’ve seen only in shooter games. Overall music is not distressing or annoying, but grim.
