Even 'Magnet' Johansen[]
Dreamfall also features four songs by rock musician Even 'Magnet' Johansen, of which 'Nothing Hurts Now' is the easiest to catch. Magnet's music also formed part of a promotional EP. The songs are included on an extra CD that comes with the Dreamfall Limited Edition. It was also released at retail in Norway, and can still be ordered online.
'Be With You' was composed specifically for the game. The other songs are from other Magnet albums; 'My Darling Curse' and 'Nothing Hurts Now' can be found on Magnet's album On Your Side (2003), and 'The Pacemaker' on the album The Tourniquet (2005).
- Be With You
- My Darling Curse
- The Pacemaker
- Nothing Hurts Now
Availability of the Soundtrack[]
The official, physical CD release of the game's score is difficult to acquire these days. Ebay and Amazon marketplace might still be good sources. In the meantime, the soundtrack has become available in different form. A purchase of the Dreamfall game on GOG.com, for example, comes with the entire score exactly as found on CD.
The soundtrack was also released by Funcom on iTunes for digital download, on June 7th, 2006.
Trivia[]
- After seven minutes of silence, the last CD track "Faith" plays a hidden message. The music at the beginning of track 22 is just about 2:40 long, while the entire track takes 9:32 to complete.
- Some players have tried to interpret the track title "Lana & Maud" as names of Dreamfall characters (namely the twins). However, this is just a third track by composer Simon Poole – who uses his online identity "slipperhero" here. Music and title track likely predate the Dreamfall project.[1]
- "Lana & Maud (edit)" is also used during Dreamfall Chapters and can be heard in front of the "White Swallow"/"Pub Lick" clubs in Propast.
