The order in the game's songs
« on: April 27, 2009, 12:27:13 am »
Since no actual OST has been released yet, I would like to know if you had already thought about an 'official' order in which the musics (those of the 'mus' directory) should be listened, as in the game directory, they're in alphabetical order, and as usually, the songs of an OST are in the order in which they're discovered all along the game. If not, I think it'd be a good idea just to decide of an order. This may seem pointless however I care about this kind of stuff.
For instance, I wonder where the musics of the Forest should be, before or after those of Mithala ? (Since those two parts of the game can be done in whatever order the player wants)
I ask this because I'm currently trying to add Aquaria musics to my other OSTs, and that I'd like to have all well ordered.

Yes, Alec has come up with an order. The songs follow the order in which an average player would hear the songs. And on the unofficial soundtrack listing, Forest songs come after Mithala songs.

Thanks!
Is this order posted somewhere? I have not been able to find it on the forum.

I have wondered the same, but I found myself as an average player, so I can somehow imagine the order of the music tracks. Although I'm quite  confused by Jukebox-mod   :-\ (which uses alphabetical order). I think too that the order is very important for maximum musical experience, as music should follow the story... aka OST. :D

It is not posted... I, uh, have sources. ;)
I'll ask Alec if it's okay for me to post the "unofficial OST song order," but some of the songs on my list may not be in the game. I'm not sure how many he added? In either case I'm sure he won't mind but I'm going to check just to be sure then get back to you. :)

Where do they come from? Remixes? I've seen on the forum that some have been done.

There's at least 1 non-in-game song in the /mus folder (Quit your jibba jabba and get in the water!).
I put up an unofficial version, which has looping and song numbering (and was also needlessly converted to .mp3, but nevermind that), but still don't know what Alec feels about that sort of thing. There was talk about making a proper OST, long ago.

Alright, I got the go-ahead... if the titles are different in the directory, then I don't know what I can do for you. It basically follows the storyline of:
early exploration,  home cave,  song cave, energy temple,  Mithalas stuff, Forest stuff, the Veil, Li,  Sun temple stuff,  stuff heading to the abyss, the abyss, the Ice Veil, Sunken City stuff, the Body and endboss stuff, epilogue and credit stuff.
I have to say that I enjoy listening to the tracks in order as well. It lets me revisit my experience with the game in my head. I hope you get the same enjoyment :)

Here's the complete list:

01. intro
02. title
03. light
04. traveller
05. home
06. cave
07. mystery
08. ancienttest
09. archaic
12. fatal
11. marchofthekrotites
12. undiscoveredwaters
13. miniboss
14. remains
15. cathedral
16. mithala
17. fallofmithalas
18. heartoftheforest
19. hopeofwinter
20. mothernature
21. drunaiddance
22. brightwaters
23. above
24. moment
25. li
26. suntemple
27. sunwormcave
28. sunworm
29. prometheus
30. lostwaters
31. seahorse
32. abyss
33. gullet
34. icywaters
35. sunkencity
36. sunken
37. thebody
38. fallenbreed
39. worship
40. ending part1
41. thereturn
42. losttothewaves
43. prelude

Except family matters... Thank you for the list! It's a little bit different what I imagined, I guess main branches are Kelp Forest/Mithalas and Sunkencity/Icy water place (Abyss is a fine example to me, as there are, like, dozens of ways leading to more obvious directions... I  totally forgot to investigate the right rear of the Abyss, meaning that Icy Waters was the last place I visited).

Some of the tracks names are unfamiliar to me (without further familiarizing), although I doupt you included extra secret bonus tracks there "accidentally"...  :-X

Thanks for the tracklist!

There are the tracks I have not found in the mus directory: (11 tracks)

01. intro
04. traveller
05. home
12(10?). fatal
12. undiscoveredwaters
18. heartoftheforest
20. mothernature
23. above
25. li
30. lostwaters
41. thereturn

And there are the tracks of the mus directory that you have not listed: (17 tracks, I excluded tracks 'test.ogg' and 'superflyremix.ogg' as they're not in the game)

arboreal
bblogo
bigboss
flyaway
forestgod
inevitable
licave
lucien
mithalaanger
mithalaend
mithalapeace
openwaters
openwaters2
openwaters3
theend
veil
youth

Weren't there some changes in the songs names? And for instance, hasn't 'worship' been splitted? (There is 5 tracks called worshipX.ogg in the 'mus' dir, corresponding to the 5 shapes of the final boss)

"Prelude" is the last track??

did it get a new name or is arboreal not on the 1st cd  :(

Some tracks got named differently on the CD than what their filenames were in the game.

That's the official CD then? Odd that it's missing all the vs Mithala tracks.
