    Soundtrack by him was incredible! Music in sequel is quite good, but Chris did something unbelievable in first game.

    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.
