Lambda Wars/Soundtrack
From Combine OverWiki, the original Half-Life wiki and Portal wiki
The Lambda Wars soundtrack was composed by Scott "Sbeast" Houghton[1][2][3] and Mr.Neyus.[3][4] Using an appropriate program, it is possible to extract all audio tracks heard in-game from the pak01_dir.vpk archive file.
Houghton's goal with the music was to write original songs that were both reminiscent of the soundtracks from Half-Life, Half-Life 2 and subsequent Episodes, but also had a fresh and new sound to them.[2]
