Man I remember playing the hell out of American McGee's Alice. I was so disappointed that the official soundtrack interrupted the music with irrelevant dialogue and left out a lot of music from the game, that I figured out how to break into the game's files and extract the music from them directly. Good times.

what a pity Chris wasn't around when the new Alice was developed. Overall I like many things about this game, but the music is awful.

It really is a shame he only got to do one track on Madness returns, but on the upside it is really good

Such a pity he only made one track for Madness Returns, a third of my enjoyment of the original game was the PHENOMENAL soundtrack.
