The idea was to make songs that correlate to the D2 Redbook pieces. It was Alieo's idea. These songs aren't remixes -- they just attempt to capture the essence of each redbook song.
There is a separate set for Vertigo, which means four of the songs (Crush, Glut, Haunted, and Death) have two correlations.
Most of these songs were made for various projects, but secretly with the correlation in mind. I tested these as though they were the redbook soundtrack, and they fit into each of their levels in D2 Counterstrike and D2 Vertigo just as well as the original redbook songs did. Feel free to use them as a replacement soundtrack to D2 and Vertigo, if you like them. You may have heard some of them before, but at least one of them has never been released before and others have only been released in a few obscure places, or to only certain people, so there's guaranteed to be something new here. If you want to use one in your own project, let me know -- some of these are already taken, and others I may have plans for. But otherwise you may be able to use it.
Total song count = 17
The album icon has nothing to do with the album... it's just there to be cute.
Description: The idea with this was to combine the feel of Gunner Down with the feel of the Spagonia music from Sonic Unleashed and the Starlight Carnival music from Sonic Colours. Therefore the drums are often played at double tempo like in all three of those songs.
Correlated Levels: Ahayweh Gate, Coalbank Shaft, Nneri Ring
Project: G'Blanix OST
Description: One thing that irked me about Glut was how, at the beginning of D2, you have these awesome movies with an amazing cinematic soundtrack, you jump into the first level expecting some equally amazing music and what you get is... Glut. Yeah. So this song attempts to combine the essence of Glut with that cinematic feel of the movie music in D2, for something that maybe wouldn't have been so underwhelming if it had been the first song to come after those movies. My secondary goal with this song was to evoke the European Dark Ages, China, and a weasel, all at the same time.
