Editorial Reviews

Chris Vrenna's soundtrack to the American McGee's Alice video game is fittingly twisted. Sounds created with toy instruments and percussion, music boxes, clocks, doors, and sampled female voices (including Jack Off Jill singer Jessicka) are manipulated into nightmarish soundscapes. A harpsichord and a clock ticking over a bed of rhythmic effects invoke a sense of Victorian horror, while also playing off of modern motifs. Fans of the game and connoisseurs of dark and spooky music will be delighted by Vrenna's surreal score. --Bryan Reesman

Product Description
With the soundtrack to American McGee's Alice, Electronic Arts' new video game, Chris Vrenna (formerly of Nine Inch Nails) provides musical menace to accompany the heroine's adventures in a Wonderland gone to hell. The sounds of dilapidated toys and ghostly machinery converge with the haunting ambient electro-soundscape produced and composed by Vrenna.

It sounded different in the game............2007-05-14

Sadly, the music doesn't sound EXACTLY like it does in the game & it doesn't have ALL of the songs. You're better off ripping the music straight from the game itself, wich you can. HOWEVER, if you like multiple versions of songs (I do) then it's worth buying. It's also a good piece for your AIW or AMA collection.

If you haven't played Fable: The Lost Chapters, the music in that game is somewhat similar & just as pleasant.

Stark- Haunting........2006-12-01

"Alice" was a beautiful and disturbing reminder of what creative storytelling and intense character design can do for a very typical game style. The best thing to come out of it, however, was the music.

Orchestrated by Nine Inch Nails' Chris Vrenna, "Alice"'s soundtrack is disturbing, yet deeply musical. Easy to listen to, these songs make for wonderful ambient music, painting whatever you happen to be doing in a dark but playful light.

Since it was created for fantastic worlds and imagery, this soundtrack conjures all the right images. Grinning cats, ancient clocktowers, clockwork soldiers and victims of madness dance through every note. It is beautiful, and must be listened to.

In Stock or Not?.......2006-09-17

Don't be fooled by the message of "1 in stock, more on the way" for there WAS "2 in stock..." when I ordered back on the 7th, its now the 16th and I am told they are Still waiting for their order to be fullfilled (apparently there is "0 in stock, and hopeing to get more").
Well, when it comes (if it comes) I hope its as good as I've been told...so much for "Standard 3~5 day shipping" costs.

Best Game Score. Period........2006-08-27

This work is nothing short of magnificent.

It is surreal, beatiful, terrible (in the good stylistic sense, not the music itself) dark, sorrowful (but happy at the end!). The music is a story all to itself. I hope the film that coming out some time, manages to portray alice with the intergity and style that the soundtrack managed to lend to the videogame.

I love this soundtrack, to the extent of buying it again after losing the first copy! This is not mere music, this is an *experiance*. However don't listen to me. Get it yourself, forget all that you've read so as to avoid over expectation (cos that distracts sometimes I find). Just simply listen to it.

If I were to compare this to anything, it would be requeiem for a dream soundtrack (also worth getting). If you liked that, you'll love this.

All hail the Tweaker!

The Talented Chris Vrenna.......2006-02-28

Some of you may not be incredibly familiar with Chris Vrenna, or perhaps not familiar at all, so I'd like to clue you in a little about his talents.
He was the drummer for the music group "Nine Inch Nails", but for the past handful of years he's been producing full compositions on his own. They're all fantastic and this particular product is no different.
One might want to catagorize this as industrial, which is fair, but it has a truly classical flavour to it. With plenty of strings, choirs, and other assorted orchestral sounds, it's truly haunting and abosrbent.
