I have just listened to the soundtrack and i’m still in awe - The superb quality of the ambient music and the the tracks with Rock/Post Rock influence are unbelievable and everything seriously sounds like a Motion Picture Soundtrack for a Hollywood Production.

Congratulations to Mr. Nielsen [/SIZE]

My most favourite pieces so far:

Blast Pit tracks 1 and 2 (Remix)
End Credits Part 1
The Inbound tracks
All Questionable Ethics tracks
and all four Surface tension tracks

I’m still missing the track from the “On the rail” leaked video, any chance it will be available too?

I can’t find the song that was removed from the “On A Rail” video :frowning:

Ah awesome, thanks! Still can’t believe it was replaced, it’s so good

#5

Thank you :slight_smile:

#6

I won’t really know quite how awesome it is until I hear it all in context of the game, but I just listened to it all in order, and my favorites are Questionable Ethics 1 and Forget About Freeman. :slight_smile: It’s all awesome though.

I really enjoyed the soundtrack, but then again I did listen to all of them like a year ago

Awesome work on the soundtrack, Mr. Nielsen, if you’re watching.
Stunning work.

#9

Listening to the music, I have to wonder if he was inspired by Mark Morgan at all (guy who did the music for Fallout 1, 2, and Planescape Torment).

#10

Blast Pit 3 is just talkin’ to my soul. Amazing work in all the soundtrack till now.

Can’t wait.

#11

I had a fallout 1 & 2 feeling too. IMO that’s high praise.

#12

I’m loving it so far (I haven’t heard the last two pieces). I really like Surface Tension 1.

#13

I’ve listened to the soundtrack on Youtube and its truly great. Well done. BUt i have tried downloading the full soundtrack .zip file twice and both times it has been unextractable. It says something about it being empty. plz hlp

#14

Blast Pit 3 and End Credits are awesome. And Forget about Freeman.
Aaaah, release the mod already.

#15

If it helps, the downloaded file should be about 67.8 MB and it’s extracting fine for me (I am using 7zip on Windows 7 x64 SP1).

#16

The soundtrack made me jizz awesomeness.
:jizz::awesome:

#17

The soundtrack is simply outstanding. Can’t wait to hear it in game.

#18

The soundtrack is amazing. Favourites are lambda core, surface tension, WGH. Essentially, the whole thing.

#19

I just registered after years to say the sound track is awesome. I do have a question… why is Nuclear mission jam not included? My theory is that this track was simply not touched because it was already the most iconic perfection when it comes to half life tracks. I hope i am correct or did i simply miss it?

Amazing work !
Can’t wait to hear that in game !
