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: Don't pay too much attention to the lyrics. No matter how you interpret them, it tends to turn out as a horror story. Any interpretation of the lyrics is correct though. Pumo came up with some good ones.
Description: Plays up the spooky aspect of Glut... in fact it plays that up to the extreme. So extreme, that it feels like a cross between Glut and the Eggmanland music from Sonic Unleashed. This is the theme of Fireclaw Smelting and Manufacturing in Maximum Vertigo. Fireclaw is in reality a front for the Mad Scientists' League of Kith. This song plays during the events that ultimately lead to the demise of Fireclaw and all its members.
This is actually a double correlation -- it also correlates with 'Overdrive' from the D1 MAC OST.
