Especially tracks 18 and 19 are really very well done! [8/10] *** User reviews *** - "need4speed2 soundtrack" (by Ace, 1 Apr 2004) [8/10] It has a very cool, techno, trance feel to some of the tracks, & also a hard edged, metal feel to others. I particularly like the track that incorporates vocals into the music. The transitions from track to track seem to have a predesigned rythym to them. Absolutely the best video race game soundtrack I've experienced. - "Speed ya up!" (by Darth Nefelim, 8 Sep 2004) [7/10] Extremely worthy soundtrack for such a puny game. All tracks are different and non-boring, some of them are really great. - "How a soundtrack can improve a game" (by hinse, 21 Jul 2008) [9/10] Without this soundtrack NFSII would have been a poor game, for sure. The background music really carries the game and the diversity within the tracks make them not boring. I can recommend this soundtrack, that has actually the official title "Excessive Speed", to every visitor. Go find a copy! - "saki kaskas" (by erikadaluca, 23 Sep 2008) [8/10] need for speed ii se *** Tracklist *** 01 Headless Horse - 5:22 02 Feta Cheese - 4:03 03 Esprit - 0:41 04 Corroboree - 2:43 05 Hell Bent for Lenderhose - 5:11 06 Ford GT90 - 0:32 07 Cerebral Plumbing - 4:54 08 Sound Stage Strut - 4:10 09 GT1v2 - 0:27 10 K2 - 6:31 11 Pavlova - 2:40 12 ItalCala - 0:40 13 Fasolatha - 6:13 14 Gore - 4:56 15 Jag - 0:43 16 Sanoqoua - 4:16 17 Halling Ass - 2:45 18 Nashat - 6:31 19 Heinerklingle - 3:38 20 Mclaren - 0:40 21 Siwash Rock - 3:22 22 Menu - 3:59 *** More info about Michael J.
