Line 11:
* {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNsBbPOLjZg The Part Where He Kills You]}} is basically ''Portal 2'''s "4,000 Degrees Kelvin". Plays in one of the tensest moments of the game.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XpgchQnaUY "I AM NOT A MORON!"] starts off as a cheery electronic theme that turns into pure orchestrated ''awesome''. {{color|white|And ''scariness''.}}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVMWVm4EFtI "You Know Her?"] is a fittingly ominous track for [[G La DOSGLaDOS]] [[Oh Crap|waking up]], [[It Got Worse|killing Wheatley]] and [[Kill It Withwith Fire|throwing you into the incinerator.]]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrTPfQb8Aco "An Accent Beyond"], a fast paced tune that fits perfectly with the situation.
* How about [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr0doRFDUoE Bombs for Throwing at You], {{spoiler|Wheatley's final boss theme?}} It's like 'You Can't Escape, You Know', GLaDOS's final boss theme from the original, except it is faster, more frantic, and {{spoiler|has some of Wheatley's [[Leitmotif]] mixed in at some points.}}
Line 37:
* "Triple Laser Phase", a haunting ambient track.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75RLvXmAUeY Love As A Construct], a beautiful track to accompany a relationship that will never be {{spoiler|until the ending}}
* [http://youtu.be/m2SF9e23ApQ There She Is,] a gorgeous tune that plays as Chell and Wheatley enter [[G La DOSGLaDOS]]'s ruined chamber. It's haunting and even somewhat intimidating, and it fits the scene perfectly.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPZArzUIfkc&feature=related Space Phase,] a tune so calm yet, so saddening.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tQyP3BVcL4 Wheatley Science.] It's sinister, mischievous, and almost [[Danny Elfman]]-like, and hints at just how badly the Enrichment Center is doing under Wheatley's control.
* Several pieces of brilliant soundtrack are missed simply due to perfect integration during certain contexts; notable examples include [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_ch0Aj-sws synthesized Bach when "flying"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIcASFQPj0E rhythmically whirring lasers when near welders].

* Smooth Jazz will be deployed in 3...2...1...[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5jifIoiwek DING]!
** Now in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPxVMpeVRGI full version]! The song is called Offering, by Larry Stephens.
* Oh no, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0vIioDGpjo&feature=related He's Playing Classical Music].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrnmgMdvI6U Machiavellian Bach], actually. Now that volume's out. Adds all the bits together, for better, um, book-reading. One of Machiavelli's best songs, that, I know, not a moron...
** Also, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_ch0Aj-sws electronic version] of the song that plays when you're being flung, and the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PRvYiZXBBc mixture] of the two. If you're wondering, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYhMpbDCq4s this] is where it came from.
