Trivia

Please note that the Trivia section consists purely or mainly of recurring melodies. This section also may be considered as a spoiler for people who would like to listen to the OST themselves.

  • Adrenal Vapor, You Are Not Part of The Control Group, Forwarding The Cause of Science, Robot Waiting Room #6 have a very similar execution and contain a pure sinewave foundation.
  • The second part of 9999999 is actually a remix of Music of the Spheres I.
  • The track The Courtesy Call has its first part unique to itself, the second part is a sped-up version of Music of the Spheres I and the last part is a slowed-down version of Reconstructing More Science
  • Likely made to reflect on the entire game before, Caroline Deleted contains a snippet from The Courtesy Call at the very beginning, a few lines from Cara Mia Addio! right after that as well as a few looping notes from Music of the Spheres I both as deep and slow and as high-pitched and fast. The song then changes to a remix of Reconstructing More Science, ending on the buzzing noises from Don't Do It.
  • Similarly, I'm Different contains a few tones from Bombs For Throwing at You. They are however hard to recognize, as an extra tone with a different frequency is added right after an original one - only the quiet melody connects it with the other track.
  • Tracks playing in the underground test chambers (You Are Not Part of The Control Group, Robot Waiting Room #1, Forwarding The Cause of Science and The Reunion) are all actually edited versions of the last one, becoming more corrupt with computer errors as time progresses and more of Aperture's story is revealed.
