Half-Life 2 Soundtrack (2004)

The HL2 soundtrack can be ripped directly from the game itself in MP3 form, though some tracks will be missing.

The soundtrack's main genre is techno, and recorded using heavy electronic instruments that may not fit everyone's taste. The tracks emphasize ambience and action where appropriate as the player progresses through the game. However since you are not playing the game while listening, you do not get the real feel.

Not all tracks are new. Many toward the end are simply remastered version of the few tracks in HL1 that Valve saw fit to be reused in HL2, from tracks 29 to 43. I will try and add the appropriate names to the soundtracks in this album if I have the time.

Most tracks can be boring at times or after listening to a few times because of the constant repetition and the 'sharpness' of the instruments. There are however some tracks which are good like CP Violation, Brane Scan, Apprehension and Evasion that are mainly action and do not repeat that as much as Pulse Phase and Dark Energy do.

The rest may be appropriately used as ambience music somewhere, like Lab Practicum and Nova Prospekt. Kaon from this album is used as the background music during reviews and intervals between matches during the WCG 2007.

half-life 2 has very good music but when you are not actually playing it doesn't seem any where near as good as it does when you are in the game
 
Hi, I'm the first reviewer of this album who came back to comment on the "lost tracks".

The Half-Life 2 Official Soundtrack has NO missing music. It has only 43 tracks.

The other tracks which are not included in the album can be taken from other sources (including HL2's own GCF files):

44. Entanglement
45. Highway 17
46. A Red Letter Day
47. ?
48. CP Violation (Remixed)
49. Trainstation Part 1
50. Trainstation Part 2
51. Radio

All the above tracks are short (around 1 minute in length) except the remixed CP Violation which continues the part left behind by track 2 of the original album and the Trainstation music which are simply the ambience music which plays in - you guessed it - the trainstation! They are all still composed by Kelly Bailey and are consistent with the other 43 tracks in the original album.

The Radio (track 51) is simply the music playing from the TV (showing the GMan image before th TV just shuts off) after the Citadel nearly chomped dow on you.

I'm not very sure if we should begin including Half-Life 2: Episode One music in. Episode One music centre around a main theme repeated in nearly all tracks which is _MORE_ boring than the HL2 soundtracks. Episode One musis lost its fast pace inherited from the original tracks.

carywinton
 
anybody got a link for "CP Violation (Remixed)" then?

mainly cos i dont know what a gcf is

and i couldnt get the tunes to rip in the first place

brill album though
 
Most of the tracks are just kinda repetitious...you gotta be playing the game at the same time to have the full effect. But then of course, it is techno
 
can anyone say me the official site of half life where i cand download these tracks? please T______T i can't find it on limewire and emule...
 
Best game music ever!!

Add music from epi. 1 and 2 soon!!

Listen to epi. 2 Sector Sweep and Vortal Combat, they are awesome and the best half-life music you can get
 
In the opeining cinematic of Half life 2: Episode 2, what are the two peices of music playing in the background? Specifically the last one of them, that plays with imagery of the uprising and destruction of the Citidal.
 
hey, mind uploading the amiences for each level? the hl2 ambience is great! besides im baing a flash game o hl2 and the ambience is much needed
 
this is one of the best soundtracks on the world.. the put somuch love and fantesy in it thats just great... dont care of the missing files.. can wait to hear song 21 (makes me dreaming)
 
In the opening cinematic there's "Guard Down" from Episode 1 and "Nuclear Mission Jam" from HL and HL2.

What happened to Episode 1 and 2 soundtracks?! Add them here again, please!! I atleast need "What Kind of a Hospital Is This?" from Episode 1 and "Abandoned in Place", "Eon Trap", "Crawl Yard", "No One Rides for Free" and "Extinction Event Horizon" from Episode 2.

I would be so happy if you would add these!!
